Clara wakes up in her apartment to find out that her boyfriend, Luke didn’t come home the night before. His phone is in the apartment so he didn’t call her, but she got an email saying he was leaving work and heading home. Luke comes from the perfect family and seems to be the perfect boyfriend until Clara starts investigating to find out what happened to him. Flashback to Beth, who is telling the story of her daughter, Hannah, a sociopath who has done awful things to her parents and younger brother. Luke’s sister Emily left home when she was 18 never to be heard from again. When Emily contacts Clara about the investigation into Luke’s disappearance all of their lives will become entwined in ways none of them imagined, but is she really Emily?

The Lies We Told is a great thriller. There were twists throughout, and I didn’t see the big twists coming. I loved the chapters told from Beth’s perspective. Hannah was such a creepy, messed up character. I couldn’t believe the things she did. Mac, Luke’s best friend, was another character I really enjoyed however, I did see the twist at the end of the book involving him coming which is why I rated the book 4 out of 5 stars. I still highly recommend it though, and I’m really hoping for a sequel.
