Great read, such an intriguing topic and characters. Julie Clark is a wonderful author and I definitely enjoyed this read.

Julie Clark did it again! I loved The Last Flight with it‘s twisted story line but who knew that this could be topped? The Lies I Tell is a psychological thriller that has you at the edge of your seat and not wanted to put the book down. Add in two of the best female characters I have so far come across with and you have an instant bestseller. Well done, Julie!!

I loved this book! I loved everything about it. One of the best thrillers I read in 2022. I did not expect the twist and thoroughly enjoyed every single page.

4.5/5 (rounded up)

I absolutely adore Julie Clark and The Lies I Tell is just another example of how incredibly talented she is. At face value, this might not seem like too complex of a story, a con artist and someone out for revenge, but I am here to tell you that it really is! I loved the twists and turns, and the end gave me chills which is something I can never get enough of. For being a domestic thriller, I thought this was also a great cat-and-mouse story and I loved how Meg was always one step ahead of everyone. And speaking of those twists, I actually thought I had this one figured out, and come to find out I had absolutely nothing figured out at all. The idea of the con artist sent me back to Pretty Things by Janelle Brown which is another book I loved, and while this is a bit different, it was just as good especially when we get down to the why.

I ended up using a credit on Audible to listen to the audiobook for The Lies I Tell and I was very happy I did because Anna Caputo and Amanda Dolan were both fantastic. I loved having a different narrator for both Meg and Kat and honestly having a different voice for each felt like a necessity to me. Caputo and Dolan definitely gave me that and brought these two women to life in the best possible way. This was such a clever story and it helped that Clark made both MCs likable which I can’t assume is an easy feat, especially when one is out to con people. Clark is one of my favorite authors by far now, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for her!

Beautiful Karma!



This is the first book I read by Julie Clark and I was not disappointed. I have had The Last flight on my kindle for at least a year. After reading this I will for sure be moving it up on my reading list.. It’s a little bit different than a typical thriller which is a nice change.

We have two main characters Kat, a journalist, and Meg, or Melodie, or Maggie… she has more than a few aliases. Each is a strong woman in her own right and they both have a goal and I would not even try to stop them. Sometimes Karma is needed and beautiful.
Kat believes that Meg is a con artist and wants to expose her. While Meg definitely is not what she appears to be on the surface, her reasons go far beyond anything Kat could have imagined. Meg has returned because she has someone that she actually wants to expose. At a glance, it appears that the two women have become friends but you know what they say about keeping your friends close, but your enemies closer. Julie Clark’s writing style sucked me in immediately. As the story develops, the reader discovers why Kat is so obsessed with Meg’s story and that there is much more to Meg’s story than Kat initially believed. Interesting storyline flashing back to some of Meg’s previous cons and trying to guess how she will get back at corrupt politician, Ron Ashton. Who I did not like as a character but I thought he was a beautifully written Villain. I adored this to the point of obsession. I can not wait to see what comes next.

Spectacular!! Julie Clark’s work is amazing, and I look forward to more novels from her.

10 years ago, a women upended Katz’s life. After picking up the pieces and moving on, Kat has the opportunity for revenge. But as Kat learns more about Megan, perhaps revenge isn’t in her best interests and the two can work together.

Love this book and couldn’t put it down!! Thanks for the early copy!!

The Lies I Tell is the first book I read by Clark, and it most certainly will not be my last. I Could not put this one down. I was able to binge it in a couple sittings, and was perfect in every single way.

When I saw Julie Clark had released a new book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. I was a fan of The Last Flight and dare I say, I loved this one even more. This was an unputdownable read for me. Highly recommend adding to your TBR.

I absolutely love this. I thought the plotline was top notch and I loved the badass women revenge theme. Awesome!

Julie Clark has become one of my must read authors. This book was so fast paced and interesting. Meg is a con artist and Kat is a journalist who is trying to take her down. Meg's preparation before taking on a mark is so detailed and she has a plan for any possible thing that can happen. She is slick, smart and the perfect bad girl. As Kat goes undercover and befriends Meg she starts to really know Meg and see some of her reasons for picking the marks she choses. A really good book about two women with different backgrounds, interesting stories, and I just couldn't put it down!

This book was so good! I loved how the end tied the main characters back together. It made me wonder what paths they would choose.

Another great psychological thriller by this author! Two women meet and become friends. One is a con artist who may or may not have ruined the other one’s life ten years ago. From there the story gets twisty. If you love The Last Flight, you need to read The Lies We Tell!

This is my first Julie Clark book but it will not be my last! Clark's book "The Lies I Tell" had me hooked from page one. Readers are introduced to two women- Kat and a woman of many aliases. Why? Because she is a con artist. Kat wants revenge and this is a true game of cat and mouse. The book ends in a surprise. I was also surprised because I didn't expect to find myself feeling compassion for a con artist.

I have been a big fan of Julie Clark, so I was thrilled to get an ARC of The Lies I Tell! The Lies I Tell focuses around two women: con artist Meg Williams and Kat Roberts, the woman she wronged years ago.

This was not quite the story I imagined when I first set out to start reading -- I found sympathy I did not think I would have for Meg, which is a testament to the brilliant character development in this book. One of the great thrillers for 2022!

A page turning thriller that I surprisingly enjoyed. Highly recommend this one. It was a page turner and I kept second guessing my ideas (though I was right at the end.)

This book was very enjoyable and was very much a cat and mouse game. There was aspects of this novel that created a concern in the people I am around but hey that means it is a good book! I thought I understood what was happening but it wasnt until the end that I truly understood it! I really thought it had the best amount of thrill and mystery in it!

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by Julie Clark. The plot was gripping and fast paced and I read this book very quickly. I really enjoyed the two perspectives, both from women. I felt the characters were well developed and I could understand where each was coming from. You also will find yourself empathizing with both of these women.

Thanks to Sourcebooks Landmark for the copy of this ARC!

Man. I kept putting this book off because I was *only* seeing fantastic reviews and I was highly anticipating it after loving Julie Clark’s 2020 book, The Last Flight. I finally picked it up and, of course, should’ve just picked it up months ago! Julie does the Dual POV impeccably well, and in this book I loved going back between con artist and journalist. The whole premise of lies, deception, and blurred lines made for a fast-paced and compulsive read, and I just love where everything ended up. Love love love Julie’s writing!

I didn't know what to expect when I started this book, but it turned out amazing. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time reading it. I found the characters so interesting and easy to connect to. I would recommend this book and author.

As a woman, I was particularly intrigued by this story of men's accountability for their actions against women and am grateful for the authors that write about these injustices. This plot was smart, well thought out, and captivating from the start! I hungrily ate up these pages in a day! I can't imagine Clark's isn't a realtor, as her expert research seemed so specific and detailed. I loved the relationship that grew between the two main characters. It was believable and reflects girl code! Such a great read!
