My Review
Their Little Lies by Quinn Avery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Their Little Lies is an engaging psychological thriller. It is well written and very easy to read. The story pulled me in immediately and I wanted to keep reading to see how the story would unfold.
I sometimes find books in this genre to be repetitive but this one did a good job of foreshadowing the story without saying the same thing over and over.
I liked both main characters and definitely found myself rooting for their success. There was a little romance thrown in as well but it was not over pouring.
I do wish the author had delved a little more into the relationship the main character had with her parents and why that might have been. There is lots of rich material for discussion in this story.
Overall, I truly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading additional books by this author.
