Many thanks to publisher Harlequin Books for my spot on this Blog Tour.
I actually liked the book, my devious heart enjoyed the thrill more when the lies kept mounting. My first experience with author Adele Parks was swift and gleeful.
Simon drank. A lot. Wife Daisy managed her marriage with the functioning alcoholic with compromise and patience until one catastrophe ripped them apart, and life stopped for them. But nothing could stop the repercussions of their spiraling lies.
There was a lot of family drama to begin with, the reveal of truth or two creating a teaser for the thrills to come. Suspense was slowly built up as the words created the life the two lived. Secrets soon found its way to the open, and some of them were shockers.
The author dealt with the social issues sensitively. I would have loved more of a workout for my heart. The flawed characters still managed to draw me into the story. Overall, the book delivered what the title suggested. Light, non-stressful read.
I received a ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!! STRICTLY HONEST AND UNBIASED.

Daisy and Simon’s marriage is great, isn’t it? After years together, the arrival of longed-for daughter Millie sealed everything in place. A happy little family of three. And so what if Simon drinks a bit too much sometimes – Daisy’s used to it, she knows he’s letting off steam. Until one night at a party things spiral horribly out of control. And that happy little family of three will never be the same again.
In Lies Lies Lies, Sunday Times bestseller Adele Parks explores the darkest corners of a relationship in freefall in a mesmerising tale of marriage and secrets.

Wonderful review❤️
I completely agree that it lacked that emotional piece. Great review!
I’m glad you enjoyed this one Shalini. The blurb for this one didn’t grab me, but I may still put it on my maybe list.
Functioning alcoholics are quite a mystery to me.
This book was definitely true to its title – so many lies. I got lost in them. Great review, Shalini!
