Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Lies She Told in Books
Feb 19, 2018
This was an edge-of-your-seat thriller that kept me guessing. Liza is an author, and her agent gives her 30 days to come up with a novel that will wow him and keep her writing career alive. She’s also trying to conceive the child she thinks will make her husband happy again. The story moves between Liza’s world and her protagonist Beth’s world, and the suspense builds as the line between fantasy and reality start to blur. I highly recommend this one to thriller fans!

Still great 20 years later
Full review here:
20 years on, this movie still holds up and remains just as joyous a watch as it ever was. For me, this is up there with the best performance than Jim Carrey has given. He finds a nice balance here between the over the top comedy he is known for and a more nuanced one. As for the plot itself, it's even more sinister in the days of reality TV and while I don't think things would ever get this far- it's a cautionary tale of what could be.

I love romance. I am a sucker for a good love story. I will aww and sob my way through books and movies and pray for my prince charming to come and whisk me off my feet.
You: Aasiyah, that's not how real life works.
I know, I know, rose-tinted glasses and all that, but honestly, sometimes that kind of view can get us through the day and give us something to look forward to.
Sometimes it's nice to take a break from reality.

I'll keep this short and sweet otherwise I will be repeating everything I've pointed out in other reviews of this series.
I really enjoyed this, the trials and tribulations, the reality of life on the move and the beginning of their schooling was thoroughly enjoyable to read. The prose appears to develop as Laura gets older, and that is lovely. The introduction of newer characters like Nellie and Christy really help liven up the story and bring a breath of fresh air into the family dynamic.
Overall it progresses nicely, picks up right where they left off and is lovely :)

Could not put it down
My boyfriend made me read this as it's his favourite book. I was a bit sceptical as it didn't seem my thing but I couldn't put it down.
It's about a kid who spends his life in the virtual reality oasis on the search for an Easter egg that will grant him the keys to the game he plays and lots of wealth.
Full of pop culture references and lots of action it is the perfect books for all the nerds out there. Don't bother with the film. As usual the book is miles better.

Amazing first book in the series!
The guys are all so individual and amazing. Completely different from any characters in any other book I've read. Laurel has created this fabulous alternate reality that I could only wish to be a part of. Carlyle is this beautiful strong female lead and you can really tell Laurel loves her character as you read the story. This book sets the tone for the whole series and if you've read the other books, you will know she just keeps up the standard the whole way through.
