Welcome to Litsy!

Unlikable characters, slightly predictable twists, and an abundance of sensationalism make this an addicting thriller and fun read!

3.5⭐️

Well , I didn‘t read it as fast as some of the reviewers, but I did enjoy this twisty thriller. Sloane lies about nearly everything, she had a rough beginning and uses her fibs to make her life more interesting than it is. She meets a handsome father with his lovely daughter at a the park, maybe a nanny gig ? Maybe something else ? Getting close to this family may be more than she bargains for !

“A read-in-one-night suspense thriller narrated by a compulsive liar whose little white lies allow her to enter into the life and comfort of a wealthy married couple who are harboring much darker secrets themselves. For the millions of us still chasing those gone girls, this is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley, and Laura Dave.”

I enjoyed my #BOTM pick for this month! Fast-paced & entertaining, I read this in practically one sitting! Stava nicely mounts the tension in her debut where Sloane‘s lies add to the unsettling feeling as she inserts herself in the lives of Violet, Jay & Harper. The pace really picks up in the latter half with some real, satisfying surprises (though perhaps not perfectly plausible in the long run). It hooked me & I‘m excited for more from Stava!

Great twisty, twisty thriller. Didn‘t quite figure it out which made it even better.

I was so excited for this one but there was way too much going on. The amount of twists and turns was very distracting. Also very unrealistic. I loved the idea of story but quite a few times i was so confused i thought i missed something. This was a miss for me but i would try another book by this author if she writes one!

So excited that my hold came in on this! I watched the author on GMA this morning and listening to her talk about the book made me even more excited to read it! She also said it‘s in development for a show! Also my library makes the best bookmarks!

I had someone close who lied often about inane things. That silliness was enough to long ago convince me to be comfortable with who I am and the things that might seem weird to anyone else (ie, I really don‘t merge well😞). So I wasn‘t sure if I‘d be interested in a story of a consummate liar. The first twist came earlier than expected so I anticipated more and found this entertaining.

It's my birthday month for #BOTM (March), so I got to pick a free add on, and they gave a free Lolly pick, so I ended up with 4 books this month! 📚 What did you pick?
