Publisher's summary

One love story. Two marriages. Three versions of the truth.

Too Good to Be True is an obsessive, addictive love story for fans of Lisa Jewell and The Wife Upstairs, from Carola Lovering, the beloved author of Tell Me Lies.

Skye Starling is overjoyed when her boyfriend, Burke Michaels, proposes after a whirlwind courtship. Though Skye seems to have the world at her fingertips - she’s smart, beautiful, and from a well-off family - she’s also battled crippling OCD ever since her mother’s death when she was 11, and her romantic relationships have suffered as a result.

But now Burke - handsome, older, and more emotionally mature than any man she’s met before - says he wants her. Forever. Except, Burke isn’t who he claims to be. And interspersed letters to his therapist reveal the truth: he’s happily married, and using Skye for his own, deceptive ends.

In a third perspective, set thirty years earlier, a scrappy 17-year-old named Heather is determined to end things with Burke, a local bad boy, and make a better life for herself in New York City. But can her adolescent love stay firmly in her past - or will he find his way into her future?

On a collision course she doesn’t see coming, Skye throws herself into wedding planning, as Burke’s scheme grows ever more twisted. But of course, even the best laid plans can go astray. And just when you think you know where this story is going, you’ll discover that there’s more than one way to spin the truth.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

“Lovering, a master of manipulation to rival her own characters, does a skillful job of gradually unspooling her intricate tapestry of psychological intrigue while deftly juggling her multiple narratives.” (Kirkus)

Twisted but so good.

Entertaining

This book, told from 3 perspectives, was entertaining and kept me listening. I was invested in all the characters. Narrated wonderfully.

I loved the ending

This was so well written. It was realistic and suspenseful, yet, it was a love story too. I think all three characters will get what they deserve in the end. Well worth a credit.

Good story but bad reading

The female performers are good but the male one is terrible. It’s a constant creepy whisper that was hard to hear a lot of it. The story is good just the male parts are so hard to hear that it was frustrating.

Good Read

This book was very entertaining, although a it took a little while to get into. The Narrator was good and read well. The story held my attention until the end and that's when things went downhill. The author completely flubbed the end. It just fell flat and didn't leave me feeling completed. It is almost as if she didn't know how to write the ending so she just gave up.
