I suddenly realized the month of February is just about half over and I still needed to listen to one more audiobook in order to complete the audible challenge and earn a $20 gift card from Amazon. What to do? I previewed a few books and one caught my ear. Our Little Lies is read by a British reader with the most delightful accent--so I downloaded it. Audible.com has icons you earn for various feats and this book earned me the marathon badge because I could not stop listening. I had to know how this book ended!
If you choose to read it, make sure you block off quality time. Don't start reading at 8pm on Sunday when you have to work the next day! You have been warned!
Our Little Lies by Sue WatsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The first third of the book is such a slow-building rise of tension that it is almost maddening. You think you can rely on the narrator, but she doesn't even know herself. Layer upon layer you wonder, will she wise up? Will she believe herself? As the roller coaster starts down its steep incline, you can't stop reading this book. You really need to have time to stop everything else in your life and finish it.
Is there a twist? More than one--and then one big one. I'll be surprised if you figure it out before it happens.
The only issue I had with this book is I thought the villain got some undeserved redemption at the end.
If you are looking for a thriller you can't put down, get this book ASAP.
