Lies, Lies, Lies by Adele Parks

A special thank you to Edelweiss, NetGalley and Harlequin MIRA for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you also to Harlequin for the opportunity to be a part of the Blog Tour.

Daisy and Simon's marriage is on the rocks. Even though they've been together for years, the only thing that ties them together is their love for Millie, the daughter they longed for.

Simon is a struggling alcoholic and Daisy is finding it increasingly difficult to hide her complete and utter disgust towards him. Millie is the only light in their married life—she is beautiful and perfect.

One night after a party, things spiral horribly out of control. Their family will never be the same.

With incredibly flawed characters, Adele Parks' latest work is a domestic drama/suspense that has got some teeth. Lies, Lies, Lies is a slow burn with a cast of layered and highly developed characters—some of which are not particularly likeable or redeemable.

Parks writes about some extremely difficult issues—addiction, sexual assault, and postpartum depression—and some readers may be triggered. She does an excellent job with Simon's alcoholism its impact on his life and those around him.

A riveting character study, this book covers the full gamut of lies: denials, omissions, exaggerations, and fabrications so explosive that the consequences will forever change lives. Lies, Lies, Lies is a dark and unflinching tale with the most insidious final twist.
