The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen
4.0

I’ve read some of the authors romances and enjoyed them and I’m always super interested when an author switches genres so this was a must for me. The premise was also super unique, receiving a text message five years too late is crazy but also sorta believable too. As things progress the plot does seem far fetched at times but it was such a compelling read I didn’t mind. I was engaged with the story the whole time and curious to see what happened next and the author threw a couple of curveballs my way. I really liked Ariel and found her to be a sympathetic and likable character and her relationships with her son and best friend were really sweet. Really impressive thriller debut and I would love to see what the author comes up with next!
