Her Perfect Life by Hank Phillippi Ryan
4.0

Lily Atwood is the perfect character to resonate with a lot of us these days- everything is about appearance and so much of our lives are online now, that it seems that is what matters – how things appear. But as do all of us, Lily has secrets of her own as well, and if those get out- her perfect appearance will be a bit smudged, or worse- fake to her followers.

One of my favorite lines in the novel is “Approval is such a sister to envy.” That is all anyone wants these days, approval- and yet we envy those who have it over us. What a great line, as I feel this is the only truth in this story line! Hank once again takes you on a roller coaster ride of character, while our mind races to figure out whose is telling the truth, who is telling lies and the ultimate motive of everyone behind it all. She does another great job of weaving these storylines together.

Lily’s perfect life has a dark past, and that past is about to get exposed until she can get things back into control. A supposed dead sister- but no body was ever found, a young detective sniffing into his fathers past unsolved case, and a father not asking for much- and yet each one is being played by someone else and the strings all tie back to one culprit.

Thank you to Suzy Approved Tours for the invite, and the author for the free novel. It was another great Hank novel that I think everyone should go out and buy! You will love this one and it really makes you realize you cannot be too careful with everything being online now- all about appearances.
