 Lie, Lie Again- Stacy Wise

Welcome Book Lovers

Thanks for stopping by to check out my spoiler free very short musings about this book. 

As always, I'd love to hear from you - so drop me a note.

For three women with so much to hide, there’s no such thing as a little white lie…

All three women who live at 1054 Mockingbird Lane have secrets…and with a body at the bottom of their apartment building’s staircase, those secrets need to stay buried.

Sylvia Webb has a plan. And a potential Mr. Right. He’s sweet, simple, and dependably clueless about what she’s up to. The only thing unpredictable about him is his needy ex-girlfriend, who is this close to shattering Sylvia’s dreams. But Sylvia’s not going to let that happen.

Riki McFarlan has a good career and an amazing boyfriend who wants to settle down. If only she didn’t have feelings for her neighbor—who happens to be her close friend’s husband. With everything going so right, why is Riki flirting with something so wrong, so…dangerous?

Embry Taylor is as devoted to her children as she is to her husband, who’s a bartender by night, an aspiring actor by day. She is his biggest fan. But with his career not taking off and tensions high, even sweet Embry has something she’s desperate to keep hidden.

Lies, secrets, and revenge. For three neighbors with stakes so high, someone is headed for a downfall. 

An e-ARC was provided to me from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

When I first noticed this book I was so excited to read it. I didn't quite pay attention to the cover and if I had, maybe I would have realized this book was going to be different than I expected. I freely admit to honing in on the body at the bottom of the stairs and tuning everything else out. Oh, by the way- that cover is pretty amazing, right? 

Anyways this book was more of a 300 plus page soap opera than anything else. And that isn't bad. Overall I enjoyed this well written novel with less than likable characters. And yes, part of the fun of this book were our three narrators- Sylvia, Embry and Riki. 

Despite a BLAH and I mean BLAH ending, I found this to be a solid read.
