I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. It was a well written book. It is my first book read by this author. I hope to read more books by this author.

Great read and very suspenseful. Would recommend. Carol Lovering is a great story teller.

Thank you Netgalley & St Martins Press

From the very first page to the very last page, I was totally involved in this novel.
The author wove a story so intriguing that I found myself surprised at every twist it took.
I couldn’t put it down.
I don’t want to give anything away, so I will stop here.
Don’t miss this!

I am a huge fan of this author and this book did not disappoint me! I love books with in reliable narrators and this definitely fit the bill. I was never sure who I could trust or what story I could believe. I found the book as a whole to be super satisfying. Must be willing to suspend belief in realistic situations! I finished this book in less than 24 hours.

Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author, for letting me have a copy of this book to read and review. This story started amazing. I was into it, could not stop turning the pages to learn more and get into the story and let the story take me for a ride. Definitely a fun read.

Too Good to Be True by Carola Lovering is a thoroughly engrossing domestic thriller. Told from three different POVs that take you through several decades. I cheered on characters in one chapter and yelled and cursed them out the next. There are many thrilling dimensions to this story and it went in directions I didn’t anticipate. Great read - google recommend!!

Special thanks to NetGalley and St.Martin press for providing me with an ARC.
This novel is so good, i really loved it, this is a debut novel for Carola Lovering , it's so good and surprised me in a lot of ways.

Carols Lovering has hit the jackpot with this story. Her characters are skillfully developed and their relationships are complicated. The story told from three points of view gives the reader just enough information to form conclusions that may or may not be true at the time of the telling. I was surprised time after time as the story changed in ways I did not see coming. A satisfying read for anyone who likes psychological family drama.

I received an Advanced Reader's Copy from St Martin's Press through NetGalley. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Thank you St. Martins Press and Netgalley for the ARC of this book. I loved it. Every time I put it down, I wanted to read more. The writing is great, the characters are great and the story is great. The way the book has three POVs, and different timelines allowed for a number of 'what the heck' surprises. I'm not sure how many other ways I can say how good this book is, Just read it!

PS - Near the end Skye calls Burke "Goose" - is that an error?

Too Good to Be True is one of the best domestic thrillers I’ve read this year, or the last five years probably. The pacing and writing is excellent and I could not put this book down, muttering one more chapters, one more chapter, and then I got to the BIG UNBELIEVABLE TWIST, and just kept going to the end. The three main characters were carefully constructed and we feel for them in one chapter and hate them in the next. Three POV’s and my head was spinning trying to figure it out. I didn’t. I could not tell which one was true. Seriously, one of the best!

Lots of great twists in this book about a young woman and her "perfect" husband. A definite page-turner with lots of memorable scenes. I had hoped for a different ending, which I didn't feel supported the main character's development. Still, I did fly through this book! And I look forward to reading anything else by the author.

Thanks to Netgalley for the arc to review.

Too Good to Be True had me hooked from the start til the very end! I finished it within a few days and it was definitely an emotional roller coaster ride. The length of the story is quite long compared to other mystery thriller, but it only allowed me to enjoy it longer. It's one of the best multi-layer thriller I have read in recent years!

I enjoyed Lovering’s first novel, Tell Me Lies...but I thought this one was even better! First off, I loved the way the story was woven together. Not only is it told from three perspectives, but they are in different formats and in different periods of time. It left me guessing what would happen all the way to the end. The book also really makes you consider how much our childhood’s shape us, as well as what we are capable of overlooking when it comes to someone that we love. Read this one, it does not disappoint!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I didn't know what to expect when I read the synopsis nor even when I started reading the book. I was happily surprised it was a darkish twisted good read. The only thing missing for me would be something to happen to Heather, although I totally understand why it didn't go there because Burke would not be able to move forward or be the somewhat good man that he is.

Too Good to Be True by Carola Lowering is a fairly intriguing thriller that I read in one day. I loved the main character, Skye Starling. She was such a genuine and caring person. I liked how her OCD was approached in the story. I feel like Lowering showed how it impacted Skye's life, but showed how Skye was able to still be successful. I also like that it was not in the story simply to be a plot device. So many thrillers use mental illness so that there will be an unreliable narrator. I also liked how Lowering was able to show the dichotomy between the lives of people simply because of the family that they are born into and how wealth brings about great privilege that most people will never know no matter how hard they work. I don't want to spoil anything in this review, but I do recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good domestic thriller. With that being said, I did not like the ending and there were definitely parts of the story that simply didn't seem believable in the year 2020 (for example, if I'm a wealthy woman involved in a whirlwind romance, I would probably do some kind of background check).

Too Good to Be True by Carola Lovering. Oh my, wasn't expecting to get so involved in this story. Couldn't put it down, which lead to a couple of days of marathon reading with the kindle pages flying past. Romance, mystery, tension, twists, and so much more, It is Too Good to Be True. Highly recommended!

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

I was so excited to read this book! I loved “Tell Me Lies” and this book proved just as good. I could not stop reading. The characters were believable and incredibly intriguing. You will definitely be on a rollercoaster throughout this one. Hang on; you won’t be able to see what’s coming! Excellent read!!

An amazing thriller that I could not put down! I instantly related to Skye, and watching the story unfold was nerve wracking. Every time I thought I had figured it out, another twist proved me wrong! Definitely well written, with realistic characters and a gripping plot.

Carola Lovering’s first book, Tell Me Lies, was one of my favorite books of last year. When I saw this arc I snapped it up. While it didn’t floor me the way Tell Me Lies did, it was still excellent. This book as first glance seems like it will follow in a similar vein to Tell Me Lies. The presentation of the manipulative and scheming man at first is like that of her first novel. As the book continues, however, it becomes more of a thriller in the tradition of Gone Girl (not quite so twisty or dark) but it kept me on my toes. Unfortunately, I can’t really say more about the specifics of the plot without giving away the story and ruining it.

I was literally raging in the first 25% percent only to find myself doing an emotional 180 by the latter half of the book. There are a lot of threads in this book. The author handles multi points of view and timelines deftly. In fact, I would say that the points of view and timelines make the book.

This is another solid effort from Lovering. She’s made me a fan. I’ll pick up whatever she writes next.

This book was a great thriller that I really enjoyed reading. Skye comes from a wealthy family, but struggles with some OCD tendencies. Relationships have been a struggle, but Burke comes into her life and sweeps her off her feet. But, is Burke too good to be true? Is he living a double life? Who can you really believe? I enjoyed all of the twists and turns in this storyline.
