What readers think of The Lies I Tell, plus links to write your own review.

I loved this thriller! Julie Clark has a real flair for this back and forth kind of story-telling. You expect to not like some of the characters but the two leads are very likable and Clark does an excellent job of explaining why Meg and Kat are the way they are. I felt like Meg was a little more fleshed-out than Kat but I enjoyed reading about both. It's not high-brow literature but great escapist reading. A sequel with Kat's next adventure might be fun!

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, or conned, or cheated, or used, or...

I found myself rooting for the con artist, knowing that what she was doing was wrong but feeling that it was just so right. I loved that Meg partnered with unsuspecting women to target men who deserved it. Keeping true to her mother's rule that "two women working together are a force to be reckoned with," Meg seeks to even the score not only for herself but for other women whose lives have been adversely affected by scheming men. As her high school advocate would say "It's the girl code. We have to look out for each other because no one else will." Meg takes this to heart as she plays a modern-day Robin Hood, taking from the scheming men and giving to the women who had been hurt by them. Kudos to you, Meg! Go get 'em!!!

The Lies I Tell is a truly surprising book. The tale is told from two perspectives that of Kat and Meg, women whose lives have been entangled for 10 years. Meg is a con artist and one phone call from her to Kat led to great trauma. At the beginning of the novel it appears as if Kat, a reporter, is stalking Meg, but as the story progresses, the cat and mouse game becomes more muddled. Who is Meg really conning? Who is lying? The conclusion of the book is truly surprising. This is a real page turner of a story. I highly recommend The Lies I Tell.

I loved Julie Clark's book "The Flight" and have been anxiously anticipating her new book. I was so excited when I was selected to receive an ARC of this book. It certainly didn't disappoint. Clark weaves an intricate web that pulls you in at the start. The characters of Meg and Kat are so well developed I felt like I knew them personally. Clark is a genius developing the plot of this story bringing down powerful, corrupt men and justice or the innocent victims. My first thought after reading the book was "Robin Hood". My second thought was, "I wish I could read this book again for the first time". Julie Clark, keep them coming! You are at the top of my fav list!

Whew! I am a fan of psychological thrillers in general, but this one was over the top. Every time I thought I knew where the plot was going... Bam! Nope! What happens when revenge becomes a life goal? We see how it plays out in the lives of two women, Meg and Kat, who are determined to achieve their goals. Julie Clark has written a brilliant page-turner of a story I could not put down.

Wow. Julia Clark has done it again. I was so excited I got to read an early reader copy. I will be recommending this book to my book club and all my friends. What made this book so great were the two main characters. Meg and Kat were both smart, cunning and complex women. Who will succeed in their 'cat and mouse" game. Is Meg really a monster or just a woman seeking revenge? Does Kat get to redeem herself? Who really is the con? Can they really be friends? I read this book late into the night. It's just that good. What a wild ride.

From the very first page, I was immediately captivated!! The story of two women, Meg and Kat, each had reasons leading up to how they wanted to live their lives. It is hard to put it down but take a break to absorb what you've read. With the twists and turns to their stories the reader might favor one woman over the other…. but…. "Are things always what they seem?" The ending depends on your interruption of what exactly is happy ever after!!! All that being said… I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

The Lies I Tell is a fascinating story about an avenger con artist and a journalist who is also on a mission of revenge. The story is superbly told with lots of twists and turns, and it is a fast, fun read. It is one of the most enjoyable books that I have read over the past few years.
