This is a clever take on the all too real and current issue of online dating scams. Just Another Liar sees three 'victims' all being scammed by 'if it looks too good to be true then it probably is' dishy Dr Dave - single, rich, professional and smooth - it's no wonder the three all fall for him. But what luck, he loves them too...

The three ladies all think they are dating him, can't believe their luck and yet none of them have ever met him and seemingly all buy his excuses:

Petra - unhappily married, and arguably just as bad as Dr Dave therefore, she turns to online dating to find a bit of love and fun. Teacher Anna is head over heels in love with Dr Dave despite them having never met. They've messaged and chatted for hours and she is smitten. Denise is desperate for love, validation and a happily ever after. Hardly daring to believe it when the good Dr falls in love with her, she doesn't hesitate to lend him money - why wouldn't she, they are going to be together and it is only a loan and for a very good reason.

There's a good message behind this bittersweet novel and a reminder to be careful out there, Mandy Byatt has crafted some devious characters who somehow bring out the worst in each other. It feels like it could have been a good 'sisters supporting sisters, who even needs a man' tale but it has a nippy little undercurrent just beneath the surface.

My thanks to the author, NetGalley and Avon Books UK for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Unfortunately I could not get into this book and ultimately did not finish it. Other readers may like this more.

A great read, I loved this book such a twisty tale. Kept me turning the pages and guessing until the end. Would recommend the book and will also read the next one from Mandy.

I didn’t like this book. I didn’t like any of the characters and felt like the death of a dog wasn’t necessary.
Don’t waste your time

I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

This was a slow burn type story. It was a good read, the characters were fleshed out, the storyline was interesting and quite relevant to current times, although I found the multiple ladies POV confusing at times. I kept forgetting who was who and what the story was, but then that could just be me in old age. It makes you think about who you’re talking to online though, well, I guess I see who people talk to online sometimes when they’re caught for doing the wrong thing and end up in front of me! A good quick read, but I didn’t find the twist/s and shocking or twisty as I would have liked.

Thanks so much for my ARC, much appreciated.

I loved the story and plot line. Its well written and felt myself connecting with the characters. Definitely recommend

Denise, Petra and Anna are three very different women who have never met until they realised they were all hoping to meet David, a man they met online and who they all believed was the answer to all their prayers. They soon realised that David wasnt who they thought and worked together to find out the truth - but still hoping that not everything was a lie.

A few twists and turns as you learn about each of the characters lives that has made each of them vulnerable and desperate to be loved.

A great read

I really enjoyed this book about the crazy world of internet dating and the pitfalls that go along with it. It is told from the POV of three different women and although it took me a bit of time to remember who was who it was overall a great read and I would recommend it to fans of liane moriarty and similar. Thanks netgalley!

This book was a lot of fun about the twisty pitfalls of the modern world of online dating, with thrilling thrown in to the mix. It won’t be for everyone, but I had a total blast reading this and loved the drama!

Online dating - what a minefield it is and here are three women and one man. A tale of discovery and sweet revenge. It's an excellent read, though you know, really, what's going to happen it's good to see it play out.

An engaging, twisty read set in a world of online relationships.

When three women discover they are dating the same man, they work together to try to find him and recover the money he has taken

What a fab read! Really enjoyed this. Had me thinking and trying to work out 'who done it' but I was wrong! An easy read with good strong characters. Will definitely be looking at other titles from this author and its definitely recommended.

Thank you Netgalley.

It took me some time to get into this book, I found that although there were only 3 POVs I struggled to keep up with the names of all the characters, particularly as I listened to the AudioBook. I think there's a lot of surprising parts in this book and a few that actually shocked me (one, early on, was really not in a good way). It's an exciting read, a really interesting story and I absolutely did not see the twist coming at the end!

Overall, a really enjoyable thriller.

A good psychological thriller told mainly from the POV of 3 women.
Sometimes I got a bit confused as to whose chapter was whose so maybe naming the chapters after each woman would have been handy. But it didn’t affect my over all enjoyment of the book.

But I did like the twists and turns. And the red herrings that were thrown in along the way. Reminded me of a story Lucy Foley or Lisa Jewell would tell.

This one was a lovely read. I really enjoyed reading this one. I just love this kind of books.
4 stars read for me

A twisty, addictive psychological thriller once you start you won't want to stop!

It lost a 🌟 star because I'm still not sure I loved the ending.

Overall, a fab debut & I would be interested to see what Byatt does next

Loved this book and enjoyed the 3 main characters that were trying to work out who was tricking them out of money or other things and what they had done. I loved the twist at the end was so easy to get into.
Really enjoyed.

An ok read told by the 3 main characters POV . I did find that the author made the plot more complicated and unbelievable than it needed to be which ruined it a bit for me

I really loved this book. Loved the cover and I thought the storyline was fantastic and kept me gripped!
Mandy Byatt has a great style of writing and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next.
Thank you to Mandy Byatt, NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the opportunity to read and review this book.
