Wife. Mother. Liar.

At first glance Emma and Lucie seem very different, but they share an unspeakable vice. Beautiful, wealthy Emma appears to have it all with a loving husband and a seemingly successful life, but a restless craving has driven her to foolish actions. Meanwhile, young widow Lucie is struggling to make ends meet while coping with a troubled five-year-old.

When the law catches up with them they soon discover what they have in common: they lie. A lot.

Punished with community service, Emma and Lucie form an intense friendship, finding an unlikely third ally in Florrie, a septuagenarian who offers wise words and a shoulder to cry on.

But the lies don’t stop. They are hiding their misdemeanours from their loved ones and neither want their shame to come to light. As these unhealthy relationships drive them towards destruction, can they survive the fallout from their deceptions or will their lies destroy everything they love the most?

This book is written from the dual perspective
At times you had to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy it.
It was an average read

This book felt very like Big Little Lies, but unfortunately I didn't enjoy this one as much. I felt it was quite slow in some places and definitely needed some revision.

Emma, Fiona, and Lucy all find that they can't keep all the secrets from their friends and families in this novel about women who need to grow up. Sorry but I found them annoying in a way I didn't expect. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

I love Liane Moriarty, so I thought I would love this book too. Unfortunately, I didn't think this book was for me. It reminded me too much of others women's fiction books, and I spent an awful lot of time reading it. Anyway, thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book!

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

Everday Lies was a lovely read about how lies can hold you back and when the truth comes out how it can set you free. Three women from different walks of life come together & forge a strong friendship that changes their lives forever.
I found it abit predictable but overall it was enjoyable.

I apologise most sincerely for not reviewing this book when I read it on the 24th March this was due to the fact I forgot I had an ARC.

Mant thanks to Netgalley, Louise Guy and Amazon Publishing Uk for an eARC. My views are my own.

#EverydayLies #NetGalley

A brilliant book which I swiftly devoured in a night. Love the twists and turns, the friendship. Lies are often found out.

This book gave me the vibes of big little lies. Where the story revolves around 3 women with so many secrets and lies. Though the characters and the plot was good, I couldn't connect the story and DNFed halfway through it.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity.

Everyday Lies is a story about three women who become friends and keep their secrets hidden by telling lies to keep up appearances. Over time they change and realize that the lies don't need to continue and they can share things with their friends that may not be so flattering. Good book about life and the lengths we sometimes go to so people don't see how flawed we might be.

Sadly I found the book to be far too predictable and really struggled to finish it. It just did not keep me interested and I am afraid that I couldn't finish the book.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this book for my honest review. I was so excited that I was chosen to read and review this book because I really like Louise Guy. From the first I was immediately hooked and finished it later that day. I couldn't put it down, great book!

This was a very enjoyable read with characters that are well rounded and intriguing. I loved the concept: lies have consequences.
Many thanks to Amazon Publishing UK and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Everyday Lies by Louise Guy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lucie and Emma couldn’t have been more different from one another. Beautiful, rich Emma lives with her husband and seems to have it all. Meanwhile, widowed single mother Lucie struggles to juggle her life, grief and the handful that is her 5 year old son, Noah. Their lives poles apart. But community service sees the lives of these two character collide and meet the unsuspecting friend in old aged pensioner, Florrie. All are keeping secrets and all soon learn through their unlikely friendship that they are best to deal with them head on.
A great read with each character bringing something new to the table. Each have their own problems and the reader can’t help but back them all. I cried, I cheered and I laughed.
Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for this ARC.

EVERYDAY LIES is a lovely story about perseverance, love and how the truth will set you free. Three women from different walks of life forge deep friendships that change their lives forever. While each woman must overcome difficult obstacles, they each grow and change for the better. The writer does a good job of illustrating the importance of trusting community and and embracing an open spirit. Although it was a bit predictable, the dialogue is nicely written dialogue and the writing style is straight forward and engaging.

Everyday lies.
Have you ever told a white lie because you’re scared of what people might think?

This is a story of three women different in ages and life circumstances, but about the lies they tell everyone around them, including themselves to keep their appearances. The story follows Emma Wilson, a trophy wife who seems to have her life together, but due to her boredom she shoplifts to feel the adrenaline rush lacking in her life. Our second protagonist is Lucie Andrews and Florrie, her life is a little messier. She is a widow who is struggling financially and falls into alcoholism. Her lies are to cover up that part of her life as she has a five-year old son. And finally, we meet Florrie, a delightful 79-year-old who comes into their lives at the right moment.

I am really liking Australian women’s literature. It gave me a Liane Moriarty’s vibe. I am hoping to read more from Louise Guy.

I hD a little trouble getting into the story, but I started loving the characters, the storylines and the way the ladies fell into their friendship. I absolutely loved it, I really did.

Everyday Lies was a good book that tackled tough topics. I love to try any book that faces alcoholism head-on, having been impacted by it growing up and getting sober myself just under 4 years ago. Maybe my own history has me feeling cynical, but this book just didn't feel realistic. Addiction is tough and is a constant battle-- it's why you're always recovering, never recovered-- and it seemed like overcoming it was portrayed as far easier than it really is. The ending was just too wrapped up and perfect for imperfect lives.

I enjoyed the alternating points of view and watching how lies can spin out of control before you know what happened. The book raised the question for me, is lying in and of itself an addiction? Are we addicted to the drama of the lies we tell every day? I think this book can open us up to tough conversations, and if it had been a little less tied-up-with-a-bow, it would be an easy five stars.

This was a light,fun read. I enjoyed it but I was expecting a little thrill and it didn't have that. Thank you in advance to the publisher and netgalley for this ARC.

Such a lovely easy read that makes you instantly fall in love with all the characters! And such a beautiful friendship made in the most unconventional way!
