The last time Katy saw Jude was on a school trip, when Jude was attacked by a stranger and Katy ran away. Twenty years later, Jude is back, and her reappearance coincides with a series of unsettling incidents: a stranger appears in the downstairs flat; one night Katy's house is vandalised; her mother is mugged and her home ransacked. And Jude seems to know an uncomfortable amount about Katy's current life... For fans of Gone Girl and Girl on a Train, THE LIES WE TELL is an addictive, complex and completely gripping psychological thriller in which present and past intertwine to devastating effect. Forced to revisit the same rocky waters of friendship and power they inhabited when they were fifteen, as the story reaches its explosive climax, Jude and Katy realise that when it comes to memory, truth and family - nothing and no-one are what they seem.

Meg Carter's debut was a thoroughly spine-chilling and tense novel that I found hard to put down from page one. Switching between 1989 and 2013, this is the story of Katy or Kat and Jude who were kind of "pseudo"-friends at school until an incident during a school trip leaves one injured and the other suddenly moves away. Now, all these years later, Jude suddenly gets back in touch with Katy just as eerie and unsettling things start happening in Katy's life. A really suspenseful plot full of secrets and lies that keeps you guessing and turning the pages.
I am usually not a great fan of books that keep going back and forth in time, but as the layers were revealed bit by bit and Katy was dealing with her repressed memories, it worked well here.
My only minor point of frustration, I couldn't buy into the weird relationship between Katy and her partner Michael. There was something seriously wrong there, but I suppose it fits the "the lies we tell ourselves"-theme.
But that aside, this is definitely a fantastic psychological thriller that will keep your attention throughout. 4.5 stars
Thanks to the publisher Canelo and to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review. (
