The very definition of a page-turner! This smart, original, twisty story had me gripped from the first to the last page. Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author A read-in-one-night suspense thriller narrated by a compulsive liar whose little white lies allow her to enter into the life and comfort of a wealthy married couple who are harboring much darker secrets themselves. For the millions of us still chasing those gone girls, this is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley, and Laura Dave. Sloane Caraway is a liar. Harmless lies, mostly, to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting. So when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she cant help herselfshe tells the girls (very attractive) dad shes a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girls foot. With this lie, and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy, and privileged Jay and Violet Lockhart. The perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island. But maybe Sloane isnt the only one lying, and all thats picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth. To say anything more is to spoil the most exciting, twisty, and bitingly smart suspense novel to come out in years. The thing about lies is that they add up, form their own truth and a twisted prison of a world. And in Count My Lies, Sophie Stava spins a breakneck, unputdownable thriller about the secrets we keep, and the terrifying dangers that lurk just under the images we spend so much time trying to maintain. Careful what you lie for.

Well , I didn‘t read it as fast as some of the reviewers, but I did enjoy this twisty thriller. Sloane lies about nearly everything, she had a rough beginning and uses her fibs to make her life more interesting than it is. She meets a handsome father with his lovely daughter at a the park, maybe a nanny gig ? Maybe something else ? Getting close to this family may be more than she bargains for !

I enjoyed my #BOTM pick for this month! Fast-paced & entertaining, I read this in practically one sitting! Stava nicely mounts the tension in her debut where Sloane‘s lies add to the unsettling feeling as she inserts herself in the lives of Violet, Jay & Harper. The pace really picks up in the latter half with some real, satisfying surprises (though perhaps not perfectly plausible in the long run). It hooked me & I‘m excited for more from Stava!

I was so excited for this one but there was way too much going on. The amount of twists and turns was very distracting. Also very unrealistic. I loved the idea of story but quite a few times i was so confused i thought i missed something. This was a miss for me but i would try another book by this author if she writes one!

So excited that my hold came in on this! I watched the author on GMA this morning and listening to her talk about the book made me even more excited to read it! She also said it‘s in development for a show! Also my library makes the best bookmarks!

I had someone close who lied often about inane things. That silliness was enough to long ago convince me to be comfortable with who I am and the things that might seem weird to anyone else (ie, I really don‘t merge well😞). So I wasn‘t sure if I‘d be interested in a story of a consummate liar. The first twist came earlier than expected so I anticipated more and found this entertaining.

It's my birthday month for #BOTM (March), so I got to pick a free add on, and they gave a free Lolly pick, so I ended up with 4 books this month! 📚 What did you pick?
