"The Lies We Told has the makings of your perfect weekend read. Think: an obsession, a dysfunctional family, and a disappearance, with an unreliable narrator to top it all off. Page, turned."—The Skimm

Really great! Lots of twists

The only thing that can be annoying is that it seems every other chapter there’s “another secret” they’re not telling you. But it’s a great story with a good performance so I’d recommend this book.

Stunning

Absolutely incredible book. Kept you invested the whole time. So many twists. Wonderful. Truly wonderful.

Surprising!

A couple reviews didn't like the two stories but I was completely hooked! Both come together in a twisted sort of way and then more twists! I can typically guess where a story is going but I didn't know Camilla was going to take if there! Great narrating of both stories! I couldn't stop listening!!!

Awesome!!!

What a great surprise! I have been so disappointed in my last few books and this was just great! I’m not sure why some reviewers did not like it but I was pleasantly surprised by this one and I look forward to the next!

Excellent! Highly recommended!

Great narration, so many unexpected surprises, kept me guessing until the end. I loved the way the story was told from two different timelines and families, it made the suspense build nicely as I tried to figure out how both stories would meet. Excellent character development, very chilling and compelling. Well written.
