Critics Review
‘Despicable, controversial and peep-through-your-fingers compelling. A marmite must-read for book clubs’ – Rachel Sargeant, bestselling author of The Perfect Neighbours
[One Little Lie] is so well researched and plays with the dark and light of lies and trust in a way that made me try to understand Sarah’s behaviour, veering from sympathy to disgust. Fabulous read’ – Jacqueline Ward, The Replacement
A must for your book club. Provocative, emotionally challenging and everyone will have an opinion - guaranteed – Imogen Clark, multi-million copy bestselling author
This beautifully written story about how one impulsive lie can spiral into catastrophic consequences will stay with me for a long time. Does one bad choice really make you a bad person? – Louise Jensen, million-copy selling author
Dark, original, thought-provoking, and utterly compelling – Louise Beech, award-winning author
This novel articulates something many people feel but rarely say out loud: how easy it is to lose yourself in the care of everyone else. Provocative, powerful and impossible not to talk about afterwards – Celia Silvani, author of Just Between Mothers
A taut, emotioonal read guaranteed to provoke heated debate about what women do, and do not want from domestic life and marriage. This thought provoking book asks questions about gender roles and where responsibility lies. I raced through it, and the questions it poses have stayed with me well beyond closing the final page – Clover Stroud, The Wild Other
An intense read with a plot that spirals towards disaster, One Little Lie is deeply provocative, often painful, and sure to get conversations flowing. I couldn’t look away even when I was screaming in frustration at each dangerous choice that Sarah, the central character, made – Lucy Ashe, Clara & Olivia
One Little Lie ties together the urgent and mundane with expert precision. Just when you are lulled by the familiarity of a scene, you’re hit with another jolt of the dark and unexpected. You won’t want to put it down – Gemma Hartley, Fed Up: Navigating and Redefining Emotional Labor for Good
