Count My Lies

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

SOON TO BE A HULU TELEVISION SERIES STARRING LINDSAY LOHAN AND SHAILENE WOODLEY

“The very definition of a page-turner! This smart, original, twisty story had me gripped from the first to the last page.” —Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies

A read-in-one-night suspense thriller narrated by a compulsive liar whose little white lies allow her to enter into the life and comfort of a wealthy married couple who are harboring much darker secrets themselves. For the millions of us still chasing those gone girls, this is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley, and Laura Dave.

Sloane Caraway is a liar.

Harmless lies, mostly, to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting.

So, when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can’t help herself—she tells the girl’s (very attractive) dad she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl’s foot.

With this lie, and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy and privileged Jay and Violet Lockhart—the perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island.

But maybe Sloane isn’t the only one lying, and all that’s picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth. To say anything more is to spoil the most exciting, twisty, and bitingly smart suspense novel to come out in years.

The thing about lies is that they add up, form their own truth and a twisted prison of a world. And in Count My Lies, Sophie Stava spins an “utterly gripping and unputdownable” (Amy Tintera, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about the secrets we keep, and the terrifying dangers that lurk just under the images we spend so much time trying to maintain.

Careful what you lie for.

Count My Lies – 3 Stars

So I listened to Count My Lies and while it was entertaining enough, I couldn’t help but feel like I was experiencing a déjà vu sponsored by The Last Mrs. Parrish. Seriously, if you’ve read that one, you’ll probably start connecting the dots faster than you hoped!

It wasn’t bad, but it definitely gave off “copy-paste with a twist” energy. If you haven’t read The Last Mrs. Parrish, you might rate it higher—and I genuinely envy you for the fresh experience. But for me, it was a “been there, read that” situation. Solid 3 stars for the effort.

Full of twists, this book was a great thriller. It was very well-written, and I did not see the ending coming. just when I thought I had it all figured out, I was shocked with the ending.

I did have one twist figured out about halfway through, but even that twist twisted
