Review: Everyone Here is Lying - Shari Lapena
Review: Everyone Here is Lying - Shari Lapena - July 2023
I'm in two minds with this
book and how I feel about it as I had seen quite a few people raving about
Shari Lapena's books on Instagram and so I figured as it did sound like a good
read, to give it a go. The book starts with Dad William having an affair with
Nora - a family who happens to live down the street from them. The family
supposedly don't know each other which was the first red flag as isn't American
streets supposed to know your neighbors as the book goes on every family in
this street will become intertwined and definitely by the end of the story all
because of one little girl will get to know one another. William's youngest
daughter Avery is a handful and after he's had a bad day as Nora has ended
their affair, he comes home to his daughter who just pushes one too many
buttons and he lashes out. William leaves and then he returns home to police
officers and his family in hysterics as Avery has gone missing. Did she run
away or has someone kidnapped her? Soon Ryan who is Nora's oldest son ends up
as one of the prime suspects, does Ryan even know who Avery is, or has someone
else on the street put a plan in motion to get revenge on both William and Nora
by attacking them where it hurts - their children? Or is it a whole different
situation? This thriller was a connect-the-dots book and one that had a strong
unreliable narrator theme to it. What happens when everyone has secrets and
something to hide? What happens when the lies won't save you and someone has to
start telling the truth? Find out in this family thriller, Everyone Here is
Lying where you as the reader, decide who is telling the truth and who exactly
is a liar, liar pants on fire.
