Özet
THE LIE: Ruby Powell is perfect. She lives in her dream home in the most affluent neighborhood in Dallas. She's a doting mother, a devoted wife, and a respected member of her community. She takes pride in serving as the president of both her son’s elementary school PTA and her daughter’s high school soccer Booster Club. Her kids adore her, and her husband is still her best friend after eighteen years of marriage.
THE TRUTH: Ruby Powell is a full-figured, middle-aged housewife, living in a house she’s grown to despise. She detests her husband, who is engaged in a long and ongoing affair. Her teenage daughter loathes her, and her sweet, gentle six-year-old son suffers from PTSD after being the victim of a kidnapping as a toddler. And she’s addicted to anti-anxiety pills due to a recurring nightmare that has started to blur the distinction between fact and fiction.
As Ruby's carefully crafted facade begins to crumble, the discovery of a body threatens to bring a terrible, long-held secret to light.

This has some dark themes, and may contain triggers for some, so check them out if you need to.
Ruby and her family’s lives look idyllic. Looks are very deceptive though as every one of them has big problems/ issues which makes for very entertaining reading. Non of the adult characters are particularly likeable especially at the start, but that’s part of the pull. I enjoyed the writing style, it doesn’t feel overdone, there’s a lot of similes and metaphors used but they work well for me. What makes this book is the characterisation, they are so well crafted, flawed, but believable with their relationships and interactions.
The mother/ children bond and issues I felt was really well done.
The fierce bond between Blue and Red was just sweet and heartwarming.
There are plenty of revelations/ twists, non of which I saw coming, but that’s nothing new for me. I highly recommend this audiobook.
Had me gripped throughout

Good story

Within a couple of chapters I was irritated by how much description there was, everything was likened to something and you could barely find the plot amongst the scene setting at times.
I soon became distracted by how frequently the words 'like' and 'as if' were used.
The plot had a lot of potential and although the twists were easy to guess it wasn't a terrible story.
I'm sure some would be gripped by the hours of comparisons and wordy descriptions but it wasn't for me.
For me the best thing about the audio book was the narrator who did a good job of bringing the characters to life.
Drowning in description.
