Summary

One little lie was all it took . . .

‘A juicy escapist page-turner with scandal at its heart’ Tasmina Perry

‘The perfect summer read’ Daily Mail

The brand new novel from the global bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada

Peyton Marcus is the woman New York wakes up to, anchor of the most-watched morning show in the city. With a husband who adores her and a daughter who’s headed to one of the best Ivy League schools, Peyton Marcus is that woman, and she’s damn good at it…

Skye, her sister, is a stay-at-home mom in Paradise, the idyllic NY suburb that’s home to designer boutiques and people who fly private. She has a knack for helicopter-parenting with the best of them. But she’s not like them. She’s looking for something real and it’s within touching distance…

Max, Peyton’s bright and quirky seventeen-year-old daughter, is poised to kiss the fancy private school she hates goodbye – and all of its spoiled rich kids – and head off to pursue her dreams in film. She’s waited her entire life for this opportunity…

But suddenly the grass isn’t looking so green. One little lie. That was all it took. Will any of them survive the truth?

Disappointing

I spent 11.5 hours waiting for something to really happen.
I was waiting for some real girl power and kept coming up with ideas that I hoped would happen in the story to brighten it up, but they didn't happen.
What was the significance of the thong at the beginning?
So many questions I could ask, but it was all lack lustre and such a shame as I've enjoyed Lauren's books in the past.

Disappointing

I was really looking forward to listening to this book as I am a big fan of the author, however, I was very disappointed. The story was lacking, the characters were dull and it’s seemed to drag on.

Perseverance is required

I’ve had this book on my nightstand for a year or more and have tried to read it but kept getting distracted so decided to listen to it instead. Gosh if I hadn’t of wanted to hear how this book turned out I would have asked for a refund…the narration is dire! It sounds like AI at times and was really very off putting and very difficult to ignore and just concentrate on the storyline. That aside it’s a good enough story with a few laugh out loud moments but really it’s not that great and the 3 main characters are quite annoying really.
If I had my credit again I wouldn’t waste it

Not exciting as promised in write up

I'm sad I wasted a credit and I can't return it either. I thought the story would start getting going but it's not, very dull. So I've had to stop listening.

Not her best

too many loose ends. It was also a pretty dull story.
Finally, the narrator should not have tried to do an Australian accent
