People tell lies for all kinds of reasons. Sloane can’t stop herself from lying—but most of her lies are small ones, things she wishes were true, stuff she hopes will make people like her and think she’s interesting. Sometimes the lies come so fast and furious that she can’t even keep track.
One afternoon during her lunch break, Sloane is relaxing in a park. She sees Jay, a handsome man whose young daughter is sobbing because she got stung by a bee. She tells the man she is a nurse (she is not) and helps take care of the girl. Of course, she’s tremendously attracted to the father, so when he promises to have his wife look for her in the parking lot the following week, she agrees.
Sloane and Violet, the wife, hit it off from the minute they meet. Sloane is wowed by Violet’s effortless style, and before too long they become close friends, and Sloane takes a job working as a nanny to care for Violet and Jay’s daughter. For the first time in a long time, Sloane feels wanted.
Of course, Sloane hasn’t completely told Violet and Jay the truth about who she is and what her background is. It turns out that Sloane isn’t the only one who has issues with the truth. But what will that mean for her job, or her friendship with Jay and Violet?
I was hooked on this book pretty quickly, and I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Not every twist was surprising to me, but I couldn’t stop flipping the pages to see just how the plot would get tied up. Sure, the characters aren’t very likable, but would anyone get what was coming to them?
