About this ebook

Marianne has a life others dream of. A beautiful townhouse on the best street in the neighbourhood. Three bright children who are her pride and joy.

 

Sometimes her past still hurts: losing her mother, growing up in foster care. But her husband Simon is always there. A successful surgeon, he’s the envy of every woman they’ve ever met. Flowers, gifts, trips to France – nothing is too good for his family.

 

Then Simon says another woman’s name. The way he lingers on it, Caroline, gives Marianne a shudder of suspicion, but she knows she can’t entertain this flash of paranoia.

 

In the old days, she’d have distracted herself at work, but Marianne left her glamorous career behind when she got married. She’d speak to a friend, but she’s too busy with her children and besides, Simon doesn’t approve of the few she has left.

 

It’s almost by accident that Marianne begins to learn more about Caroline. But once she starts, she can’t stop. Because what she finds makes her wonder whether the question she should be asking is not ‘should she be jealous’, but... ‘should she be scared’?

 

Fans of The Girl on the Train and I Let You Go looking for a dark, gripping psychological thriller, with a final twist that will put their jaw on the floor, will love Our Little Lies.

This book annoyed me so much. The first half was just the same thing over and over and I found it so hard to like any of the characters except Sophie! To be honest, half way through the book, I tried to Google the ending, with no luck, so then I just skipped to the end of the book. I still needed to know what happened but didn't have the patience to read any more than I had to.

Entertaining enough that I finished it but the first 10 chapters were just the same thoughts repeated constantly. Even when things started to get interesting it was still way more repetative than it needed to be. Unfortunately, of the twists at the end, there was only one I didn't see coming and it wasn't the big one that was supposed to be shocking. I think that this would have worked better as a short story rather than as a novel.

Although I did enjoy this book and have never read anything from this author. There was a lot of repeating in thoughts and stuff but at the end it all makes sense for what the husband did to his wife and family.
