Everything Is Lies by Helen Callaghan

4.0

•Everything is lies tells the story of Sophia, a single child of two overprotective parents. After getting a worrying call from her mom and ignoring her at night, Sophia wakes up early and heads to her parents house to find her mom hanged, and her father stabbed and lying in his blood. Persuaded that this wasn’t a Murder-Suicide, Sophia strives to clear her mother’s name and begins to uncover the secrets of her parents’ past that wasn’t as innocent and casual as she thought.
•I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t expect it to be this thrilling so i was pretty stressed the majority of my time reading it. We go through Sophia’s findings through her mother’s notebooks, which are addressed to her. This made the story so much more enjoyable because we get to read about her experience in a direct way. The plot is pretty impressive too, and the actions are so detailed. I recommend this book to anyone who’s into this genre, and to people looking to read books outside of their comfort zone too.
