Excuse me ma'am who gave u permish to make me this emotional!!!!!!! Bloody heck there were points during this when i was fully stressed. Every Single Lie is a dark story of a dysfunctional family in small town, faced with a horrible tragedy. Although one of the biggest tragedies is that the main girl in this is called Beckett, and her sister is called Landry. Ahhhhhh America NO.

So the main premise of this book is that the main character, Beckett, finds a dead, newborn baby in her boyfriends gym back in the school locker room. What the fuck right? Then is honestly gets more fucked up, rumours start flying and secrets start coming to light.

I've read a couple of crap YAs recently in particular on audible - the teen-ness is so cringe when they say the words out loud im like ewww nooo. But I literally cannot read actual physical words in a physical book at the moment I'm literally audioing my way through life, SO ignored my judgement and got this. Im reeeally glad I did because it was so not cringe and I loved it. It's v well written and I found it hard to put down, the plot was quite mad but not unbelievable. Just found it v addicting, mysterious and affecting tbh. If u like YA I would rec.

I have to say that ya thrillers are sometimes kind of silly, very fast to read but also not that deep either, while this one was very well written although I did understand where this was going at some point it doesn't really matter. And also

Spoiler

since I understood the little sister was the one who had a baby, for a while there I was scared there was going to be a r*pe storyline so when she explained who the father was I felt a bit relieved just like the mum was

What an intense and heart breaking novel. I’m not even sure where to begin but I didn’t want to put it down, I didn’t want it to end. I want to follow this family into another story just to see how they’re doing. The trigger warnings are a mile long, it each trigger is handled with elegance and respect.

Wow did I love this book.

It was such a gripping read and one I just had to finish as soon as I could, if I hadn’t had responsibilities throughout the days I would’ve finished this book within a couple of hours! This book had me trying to figure out who did it throughout the entire book and to say I was surprised by the ending would be an understatement.

This book gets a well deserved 5/5 stars for bringing out my inner detective and still being able to shock me to the core by the end of it.

I highly recommend this book if you’re into mystery/thriller novels!
