Ive always been a fan of Adele Parks and this book confirms why. Twists and turns and shocking moments all lead to a great combination in a truly outstanding book. Loved it so much and would highly recommend.

'Lies, Lies, Lies' by Adele Parks is without doubt the best book I have read this year - stunning twists, wonderful characters and absolutely genius storytelling at it's finest!
I was gripped by the story of Simon and Daisy from the very first line and was over the moon to quickly recognise them as familiar characters from some of the author's previous novels. In fact many of the characters from this circle of friends are back and it was very satisfying to learn how their lives and families have evolved over the years.
Simon, Daisy and their much-loved and longed-for daughter Millie are a happy family with great friends, careers and a lovely home. What does it matter if Simon likes a drink now and again? He's just being sociable, relaxing, de-stressing - or at least that's the lies he tells everyone around him including himself. Daisy knows Simon's drinking is an issue but she may have secrets of her own to protect. One night following a friend's party Simon and Daisy's world comes crashing down around them and all the lies they have told themselves, each other and their loved ones begin to unravel leaving the course of their lives forever altered.
To avoid spoiling this spectacular read for others I will say no more other than please, please, please read this book - it is a thrilling and beautifully written story examining issues such as alcoholism, fidelity, abuse and redemption and I loved every single word of it!
5 HUGE stars and I would give it 10 if I could - massive thanks to Netgalley UK, the publishers and Adele Parks herself for this wonderful book.

Loved this book. Great in depth description of main characters, storylines dragged you in, enough to get emotional and frustrated all the way through. I really enjoy a book that makes you react. Couldn't believe the ending!

A complicated story about love, families and betrayal. There are a lot of twists to this story. This is a fast paced read. I feel that I have read better books by Adele Parks and was disappointed with this one.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

Really enjoyed this book, had me gripped from the start, it tailed off a bit in the middle but worth sticking with for a great ending with an unexpected twist.

I am still conflicted about this book.

On one level it is a cautionary tale of how addiction insidiously affects life and relationships and acceptance of that addiction enables and re-enforces that behaviour, also corrupting their world view.
On another level it is a litany of all the ills brought about by alcohol visited on one family.
At times I wanted to shake both of the main characters and others felt the story was too depressing and violent to continue.

The ending is a disappointment compared to the rest of book.

I guess this shows how well written this story is - spoiled only by the ending.

It’s a while since I’ve read anything by Adele Parks and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this. The title is certainly on trend; books with Lies or Liar in the title have been flavour of the month for a while now, so Lies Lies Lies feels a bit like that particular trend hitting its peak.

Anyway, it was a very good read. Daisy and Simon are married with a young daughter, Millie; Daisy is a teacher and Simon is an alcoholic. (He does have a job, but in the nature of these things, his main job is increasingly Being an Alcoholic). Things start to break down, culminating in a terrible accident. But in a way, this is just the beginning of Daisy and Simon’s problems.

It’s a compelling and sometimes harrowing read with believable and interesting characters, though I couldn’t quite understand Daisy’s behaviour and actions, or lack of them, at times (can’t say more without spoilers!). There’s one entirely hateful character whose combination of arrogance and insecurity makes him particularly toxic (hmm, sounds familiar).

Great read, recommended.

Great characters in a contemporary tale that demonstrates how lies can unravel to destroy people's lives. This book also looks at the many different forms of friendship and the value that it brings when life is hard. Quick to read and would be an interesting book for a reading group as there are lots of questions and interpretations of the many characters and their lives

A deep, dark and deliciously twisty psychological thriller, that had me in it's grip throughout.
The plot line revolves around the secrets and lies of the characters and the resulting interactions between them. With alcohol, prison, memory loss and a psychopath added to the mix, it has a whole lot packed between the pages, while managing to remain within the realms of possibility.
Some of the twists I saw coming, whereas others came totally of the blue.
All in all this was a well written and satisfying read, which I couldn't put down.

Lies, lies, lies take you into a world where nearly every main character has told or is living a lie and it completely draws you in as a reader!! The characters you think are good, are flawed and the character you think are flawed will show you they are good but first they have to all survive what’s going on!! A must read!!!

Lies, secrets, twists .... well this is a story that has them all and from page one it draws you in with a compulsive storyline that keeps on going till the end. In many ways this is is a sad story of flawed people trying to carry on with life and in some cases just failing miserably, Simon and Daisy seem to be a just that a couple trying to live a happy marriage whilst all the time dealing with Simon’s addiction to alcohol but Daisy has secrets also and this leads to a disastrous incident that has many repercussions. Told in alternating points of view from Daisy and Simon this really builds up the tension and the characters are so well written it makes for a gripping read. My only gripe was I just didn’t connect with Daisy as I found her at times to be a bit of a wimp but perhaps that’s just me and in no way did this spoil the book. So a solid 4 star read and would recommend it as a compulsive read.
My thanks to NetGalley and HQ for giving me the chance to read the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Really loved this book.
What starts as a family story of daisy and simon attending an IVF appointment suddenly turns into a tale of constant twists and turns. The story kept me guessing until the very end with an ending I wasn't expecting.
The majority of the story leaves you feeling very sorry for daisy who has an alcoholic husband, as well as suffering abuse from another man. However the tables are turned when we understand the sacrifice simon has made to protect his family.
Definetly a book to recommend.

This is a well written story with a great storyline.

The author has written a great book with relatable characters. I felt myself glued to the pages and when I wasn’t reading it I was thinking about it.

Secrets and lies run throughout the book. From start to finish it’s a gripping read. Can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

Great engaging read with realistic characters.

You’re drawn in from the first page and don’t want to put it down!

Perfectly written easy reading book.

One word GRIPPING !!!!
A total page turner full of twists and turns !!!!
Totally engaged in this book from page 1 and it didn't stop until the very last page . Loved it

My goodness, what a book. It had me hooked from the first few pages and never let up. Dealing with serious subjects such as alcoholism and sexual abuse but in a very humane and compassionate way. Adele Parks never fails to deliver and with this book she has IMHO excelled herself. The flawed , but ultimately likeable (some) characters, the relentless pace of the story, the heartaches and the pain - the secrets and lies. All too human faults and failings but dealt with in such a way as to grip the reader and make us feel empathy and compassion. I just loved this book and read it in 2 sittings, such was it's hold on me! Definitely a fantastic read and one which I'd highly recommend. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. You won't regret reading this one.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I wanted to read this having read and enjoyed previous novels by Adele Parks, and this didn't disappoint. Pretty quickly the book took a different turn to what I was expecting, and despite a lull in the middle, most of the book was gripping and filled with unexpected twists and turns. Parks writes well, clearly giving a picture of the story and creating interesting, fleshed out characters.

Excellent book that I could not put down. It concerns a married couple who desperately want a child and have tried getting artificially inseminated and finally have a girl. Unfortunately the husband Simon likes his drink and becomes an alcoholic. The story keeps you enthralled from first to last page.

After years together, the arrival of longed-for daughter Millie sealed everything in place for Simon and Daisy. A happy little family of three. So what if Simon drinks a bit too much sometimes – Daisy’s used to it, she knows he’s letting off steam. Until one night at a party things spiral horribly out of control. And that happy little family of three will never be the same again.

So this book has two main parts separating it, the first part lays out what to expect and provides us with a background for the characters and was very hard to read and connect with. If you read this then you will see what I mean but due to the nature of what happens, I found it very hard to connect with both the plot and the characters, I was uninterested in what would happen to them and just was not rooting for anyone.

Then we move on to the second part which is where the action of the plot happens, this made for a better read and I preferred the choices the characters made but sadly the damage had already been done. I still did not connect to the characters or the plot and remained unconcerned with what would happen to them.

The title for this book is very appropriate, this is full of lies, some of the actual truths are more obvious than others, some really come out of nowhere and the couple of those that did meant the book became exciting and the plot had adrenaline injected into it. These couple of game-changing twists saved the book for me. However, I should say I think the really obvious ones were unnecessary.

I will also say that Parks handles a couple of very hard-hitting sensitive subjects and does so with aplomb and grace. They are not there for shock value but because they are integral to the plot and are needed and I have to say they were written about very well.

'Lies Lies Lies' could have been a twisting, intriguing hunt for the truth but for me, my dislike of the characters meant I did not connect with the plot or the people involved in the plot. I understand that they are the way they are because of the plot but I personally need at least one person to root for and get behind and this was not the case in this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for an advance copy.

I am a long time fan of Adele Parks and so I couldn't wait to read this and it did not disappoint. I finished the whole book in less than 24 hours.

This book focuses on some serious subjects such as alcoholism; domestic abuse and the horror of incarceration. Like normal Adele handles this admirably, the characters were well developed and the story riverting and engaging.

I loved this book and recommend to all.
