The Lie was a pleasant surprise in my to be read pile! I
found the story to be so compelling and I really couldn’t stop reading until I
discovered what was traumatic enough for Emma to leave her former life and
become present-day Jane.
The story flips between past and present with the catalyst
for the plot being a note Jane receives stating that they know her real name
isn’t Jane. Jane has tried to rebuild her life after the events on a Nepal
holiday with her former girlfriends, so she becomes terrified of everything
being snatched away.
The characters weren’t very likeable. I kept wondering why
they were all friends since each of them had reprehensible character traits. I
wanted to reach through the book and shake some sense into them. I guess I
wasn’t totally shocked how things fell apart in the way they did.
The suspense was so awesomely done. The author never gave
much away besides a few breadcrumbs here or there. The climax is explosive and
well worth the long wait.
Overall, a great book from a new to me author. Can’t wait to
read her other books!
Rating: 4/5 Stars
