One Little Lie
One little white lie. One tiny omission. A slight manipulation of the truth. But that moment would change everything…'A big tangled mess of lies that I couldn't put down … Wild and brilliantly written, I loved it' ?VOGUE WILLIAMS‘A must for your book club. Provocative, emotionally challenging and everyone will have an opinion - guaranteed’ IMOGEN CLARK, Reluctantly Home‘Despicable, controversial and peep-through-your-fingers compelling’ RACHEL SARGEANT, The Perfect Neighbours‘Will stay with me for a long time’ LOUISE JENSEN, The Intruders It was the small things that weighed Sarah down. The dirty dishes abandoned in the sink. The empty bottle of milk put back inside the fridge. The clothes left crumpled on the floor. A life of never-ending mental load and constant demands. Somewhere along the way, Sarah had become a caretaker for everyone around her, both at home and at work. Then came the lie. One harmless white lie, she thought. Just a little shift in the narrative. And for a while everything became better. But one lie wasn’t enough. It was soon followed by another. And another. Until the truth became something unrecognizable, a distant memory swallowed by fiction. She never intended for it to spiral this way. It was just one little white lie. But the truth would inevitably threaten everything she held dear…Readers can't stop talking about One Little Lie… (? reader reviews)‘A sharp, thought-provoking domestic drama that explores how a single white lie can spiral into something far more destructive’‘Loved this read … It felt brilliant and fresh within the genre’‘A clever, thought-provoking book … would make a brilliant book club read’‘Despicable, polarising and uncomfortably compelling. A good one for book clubs to discuss’‘I expected domestic drama. What I got was a slow-motion emotional breakdown of epic proportions’
