A review by itsmeamethyst
The Kindest Lie by Nancy Johnson

5.0

Beautifully layered story about identity, race, class, family secrets and unanswered questions, sacrifices of parenthood, and carrying on the act of living when presented with impossible choices. With nods to the biblical story of The Prodigal Son, this novel feels both modern and classic.

This would be an excellent book club pick and has been one of my favorite reads so far this year. Cannot recommend The Kindest Lie more!
