Book
Summary from Harelquin:
LIES LIES
LIES (MIRA
Trade Paperback; August 4, 2020; $17.99) centers on the story of Simon and
Daisy Barnes. To the outside world, Simon and Daisy look like they have a
perfect life. They have jobs they love, an angelic, talented daughter, a tight
group of friends... and they have secrets too. Secrets that will find their way
to the light, one way or the other.
Daisy and Simon spent almost a decade hoping for the
child that fate cruelly seemed to keep from them. It wasn’t until, with their
marriage nearly in shambles and Daisy driven to desperation, little Millie was
born. Perfect in every way, healing the Barnes family into a happy unit of
three. Ever indulgent Simon hopes for one more miracle, one more baby. But his
doctor’s visit shatters the illusion of the family he holds so dear.
Now, Simon has turned to the bottle to deal with his
revelation and Daisy is trying to keep both of their secrets from spilling
outside of their home. But Daisy’s silence and Simon’s habit begin to build
until they set off a catastrophic chain of events that will destroy life as
they know it.
My review after reading the book.
Millie,
Simon and their daughter Daisy are the perfect family until life doesn’t seem
so perfect anymore. Let’s go back to the beginning of their story.
When Millie and Simon were first married they
had a hard time conceiving. When Daisy was born life seemed ideal. Then Simon
decided he wanted another baby. Millie wasn’t keen on the idea, but eventually
went along to meet the specialist. When Simon hears the fertility test results
he starts to spiral downward. His drinking becomes a huge problem in their
lives and their marriage. After an accident, Simon ends up incarcerated and
life must go on for Millie and Daisy.
The lies
start piling up right from the beginning of the story and only get deeper and
more intense as the story progresses. With a twist that you couldn’t even guess
at, the book ends and leaves you wanting more of Adele Parks brilliant writing.
