I bought this at the library book sale.

The story was good, but it was written in a very predictable way. I knew how the book would end before I was halfway through.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I am bringing this to the meet-up.

I'm not really sure how I felt about this book. It didn't pick up until the middle/end, and the beginning was painful to get through. It also got fairly predictable.

From the cover:

If Ridley Jones had slept ten minutes later or had taken the subway instead of waiting for a cab, she would still be living the beautiful lie she used to call a life. She would still be the priviledged daughter of a doting father and a loving mother. Her life would still be perfect---with only the tiny cracks of an angry junkie for a brother and a charming drunk with shady underworld connections for an uncle to mar the otherwise flawless whole.

But that's not what happened. Instead, those inconsequential decisions lead her to perform a good deed that put her in the right place at the right time to unlease a chain of events that brings a mysterious package to her door--a package which informs her that her entire world is a lie.

Suddenly forced to question everything she knows about herself and her family, Ridley wanders into dark territory she never knew existed, where everyone in her life seems like a stranger. She has no idea who's on her side and who has something to hide---even, and maybe especially, her new lover, Jake, who appears to have secrets of his own.

Sexy and fast paced, Beautiful Lies is a true literary thriller with one of the freshest voices and heriones to arrive in years. Lisa Unger takes us on a breathtaking ride in which every choice Ridley makes crates a whirlwind of consequences that are impossible to imagine...

I forgot to add the release notes. I set this free at the Charleston Un-convention over the weekend. Enjoy!
