Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Lies We Told has the makings of your perfect weekend read. Think: an obsession, a dysfunctional family, and a disappearance, with an unreliable narrator to top it all off. Page, turned." (The Skimm)

“[T]he construction and pacing are solid, staying just far enough ahead of the reader to be fun, and offering, in the last quarter, a buffet table of twists.” (New York Times Book Review)

“[A] twisty psychological thriller.... Think you have the plot figured out? Think again. There are no easy answers in Way's dark, compelling story. Grade: A” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer)

6 Stars

Only the 2nd book I've given 6 stars too :) It was SO very good. I could not wait to read (or listen via Audible actually) everyday. I was worried, based on some other reviews, it would be confusing going back and forth between 1980's and current day, with a lot of characters, but it was not..it was GREAT! Probably the first time I felt truly creeped out by a character in a long time. Hannah.

Eh on the performance

I had a really hard time listening to the voice of one of the readers. It really didn’t match the character for me. The book was amazing a part from that!

Wow!!!

I listen to a lot of books and never write a review but this book was so good!! I found myself anxious to get back to it. Lots of twists and turns!! Totally recommend!!

spoilers for my own use

this is a highly implausible but entertaining story, Girls boyfriend is kidnapped, boyfriend was kidnapped by his long lost half sister, who is a sociopath. sociopaths Bio dad cheated on wife and had baby, wife got mad, meets the other woman, pushes her off a cliff, gives baby to friend who wanted but couldnt have kids. and when sociopath daughter finds all this out she plots revenge of her half siblings and the wife and her dad.

A twisted tale

I was interested in the story until it began to unravel toward the end. Then I lost interest.

Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

Great book. Always wanted to keep reading more. even dudes need to read this. Boo never stops charging forward in the story. A must read that you'll get lost in.

Best book ever!

Listen all I have to say is this is one of the best books I have read! It have EVERYTHING! Love, marriage, suspense and you would never be able to put the pieces together! So good!

Surprises all along the way

Great suspense and good narration for at least most of the characters. Sometimes not young enough for the teenagers. This is not unique to just this narrator. I get confused by the ages or gender in many of the audible books.

The Twist!

Well done storyline. Loved the way it twisted at the end. Was not particularly crazy about the narrator. One had a voice that her pitch bothered me. But i enjoyed the book.

Wow great thriller!!

So many twists and turns! Kept me in suspense all the way to the end!
