Every Last Lie is Mary Kubica’s new book and I was pretty excited to get my hands on this one. I loved Mary’s first book and thought this story would have a similar feel. Admittedly I tend to stick with YA but there are a few authors who convince me to visit adult fiction every now and then and Kubica is one of them.

As I started this book, I was immediately pulled into Clara’s story. It alternates between after (present time) from Clara’s perspective and before (the accident) from Nick’s perspective. It was an interesting way to read the story but I’m not sure it really clicked for me. Sometimes I am an impatient reader and the back and forth was taking too long to get me to what had really happened and how Clara moves forward.

Clara was an interesting character for me. There were times where I was amazed that she had no clue what was going on with Nick. As close as they appeared to be, I couldn’t get behind him keeping such huge secrets from her. I get that he was trying to push through and come up with a way to solve the issues without burdening Clara but they were married and those were some BIG secrets.

Overall I found the story interesting and it was a pretty quick read. If you’re looking for an adult mystery that has a solid story and characters that will have you questioning their every move, consider checking this one out.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy.
