Lies, Lies, Lies by Adele Parks
4.0

I was sent this book in return for an honest review.

At first I wasn’t sure that this book was ‘my thing’. I like thrillers and it seemed to be a bit of a slow burner.
Although it starts slow with seemingly innocent chat Adele Parks is weaving the scene for you. A scene that many of us have encountered. A friend/spouse/colleague that likes a drink. A couple who so desperately want a child they are almost driving themselves apart with that want. The friends who have been friends forever but have had a few ups and downs. And most importantly a secret that could destroy everything.
The book tackles some of society’s biggest hurdles, Alcoholism, infertility, rape & domestic abuse and of course Lies Lies Lies.
It makes you question yourself and maybe some of the seemingly innocent lies you or another has told. Is it ever ok to lie? Where should the line be drawn?
I found 1 or 2 chapters a little unnecessary and found I needed to re read them because I had skimmed them in a rush to find out what was happening elsewhere with other characters.
Overall a great book with some tough topics and unexpected twists and turns.
