All kinds of mixed feelings about this one. I loved half of it, and didn’t care for the other side. I saw the “twist” coming, and overall it was just ok.

Lies She Told has more twists and turns that a winding country lane. I couldn’t put it down. If you like thrillers, you will thoroughly enjoy Lies She Told.

The main character, Liza Cole, is a romance/suspense writer. She has been in a writing rut due to the stress of trying to conceive a child and her husband's grief over his missing law partner and best friend doesn't seem to be helping any. Now this is where you need to pay attention especially if you listen to the audiobook ( I was going back and forth from the audiobook to the physical book because it got a little confusing for me) Liza's main character in the her current book is Beth, which by chapter 5 I'm feeling is more like this is Liza's alter ego because the situation she is writing about is becoming eerily close to Liza's life - this is where the confusion or clarity begins - depending on how you want to look at it or as my husband says how observant you are and I my friends sometimes am not the most observant person and why I love thrillers like this so much.
Cate Holahan did a good job at dual stories and keeping you on the edge of your seat. It was a bit predictable for some of the story, by chapter 3 to 5 I had guessed correctly at some of the story plots and why I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 star however it was still intense enough for me that I did not expect some of the rest of the story to go the route that it did.
I had this book on my shelf from book of the month for probably longer than I cared to admit to and I'm like why. It is a great book that I would recommend and will read again and again.

I didn't really like it. As mentioned in the synopsis, the main character is writing a story about a cheating husband and basically I'm tired of thrillers that revolve around cheating spouses so I admittedly wasn't really into it.
I don't think it was a bad book or anything, I just didn't really enjoy it.

I skipped a meal to finish reading this novel. That says it all.

I feel like despite the interesting premise, this book comes off average at best which is unfortunate.

An interesting twist on the issues of PTSD when a writer blends fiction with fact, unwittingly getting confused between the two. Very interesting.

Once you realize that it’s her and then the book she is writing it’s great! A well written mystery in my opinion. I got really in to it
