The Lies We Tell by Jane Corry
3.0
This is the story of many parts.
It is initially written in the present but the book is written as a dual narrative of how two unlikely meet and goes into detail of how despite many difficulties, they have a much wanted child.
The unlikely couple, both have secrets about a past before they met which neither one of them knows of each other that they are ashamed of.
Moving forward, their 15 year old son comes home with a dark guilty confession.
The book then moves into single narrative as Sarah does what she thinks is best to protect her son or is it?
Like Jane Corey’s other book that I have read, Blood Sisters, it keeps you guessing until the end. A theme that I also noticed with Blood Sisters is prison and artistry.
It was a book that I felt dragged slightly in the middle but definitely picked up at the end when everything comes together.
Many thanks to NetGalley for this preview read in return for this honest review.
