Seven Lies by Elizabeth Kay
3.0
Thank you Netgalley, Penguin Random House Canada and Elizabeth Kay for free e-Arc in return of my honest review.
Everything that publisher promised is there, except for me it was not a page turner really. Female protagonists are exceptionally written. Jane and Marnie are both very well developed and multidimensional. There are few flashbacks to past that are beautifully incorporated into the storyline.
I appreciate how Elizabeth Kay divided her book into lie blocks and built her story like a spiral (the book cover design is excellent and prepares for the spiral downside if all the lies).
On the other hand, the pacing was somewhat peculiar. Some parts are dragging on while most important lines are rushed and left unexplained. If it was author’s trick, it did not work for my benefit.
I definitely liked Seven Lies, however, I was in for more.
