Wife
Charlotte wants to start fresh. She wants to forget her past, forget prison and, most of all, forget Sean. But old habits die hard. Despite the ankle monitor she must wear as part of her parole agreement and frequent visits to her therapist, she soon finds herself sliding back toward the type of behavior that sent her to prison in the first place. The further down that path she goes, however, the closer she gets to the crime that put her in prison all those years ago. And that's the one memory she can't face. Until, one day, Sean tracks her down.

My Thoughts…
One More Lie is
a psychological thriller that tells the story of a young girl (8 years old) who
has led a life full of upheaval, struggles, and trouble. Along with her best friend Sean, they
managed to get in trouble repeatedly but always seem to find their way back to
each other. I am not sure, even after
finishing the book, if Sean was the reason for the trouble or if he just never
stopped it from happening.
The story was
told from both Sean and Charlotte’s points of view with flashbacks to the past
and the present. I never really was sure
what was the truth and what was part of their memory remember wrongly. The story seemed broken up and didn’t flow
as seamlessly as I would have liked it.
The ending left me wondering what was happening and it didn’t tie the
story together like I expected.
I enjoyed
reading One More Lie but it isn’t a book I’d rave about to my friends. It is easy to read but it isn’t as gripping
as I like a thriller to be.
