Lie Lay Lain by Bryn Greenwood
4.0
THe story starts like this, one minute Jennifer is happy carefree, checking out her new shoes she just spent an enormous amount of money on. The next, she's on the floor making a promise to a dying woman that she will help her daughter. These chain of events leads to the story of Lie Lay Lain.
Olivia still lives at home with her parents and her brother. Not happy in her life, she meets a paramedic that would change everything.
The story was amazingly moving, slow in all the right places, quick in all the other. The two women are unflinchingly honest, not always with others but always with themselves and it brings a breath of fresh air to the novel.
As Jennifer begins to look for the little girl she promised to help and Olivia manages to keep a relationship, the woman face many twists and turns that force them to choose a path. Lie or tell the truth. And this novel will make you question everything about what the truth is and where your moral comppas lies.
My only complaint was that it ended way too soon, all these questions left unanswered will haunt me.
