The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen
5.0

First and foremost many thanks to NetGalley, Harper Collins Publishing and Sarina Bowen for the advanced copy of this book.

I am not usually a super fan of domestic thrillers but this book was incredible . The pacing was perfectly timed to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat . You get all of the suspense and mystery played out alongside a heartbreaking love affair. I will say this played a bit more to the romance side than some domestic thrillers but it was still great. The social commentary on advancing technology and the ethical implications surrounding its legal uses was a creepy reminder to reflect on our own technological boundaries.

The characters in the book all had distinct personalities . Many of which were terrible but it brought a distinct realism to the story . Buzz is the cutest kid in a thriller hands down .

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely be recommending it to others. I look forward to seeing future thrillers by this author .
