Thank you so much to NetGalley and Agora Books for my copy of All Your Little Lies by Marianne Holmes in exchange for an honest review. It published October 22, 2020.
This was quite a twisty novel that had me questioning and not trusting anyone or anything up until the very last chapter! There were so many things that happened that I truly did not see coming, and it kept me on my toes the whole time.
If you love thrillers with a main character that you’re not sure if you can trust, then you’ll love this one!

A slow burn but with intriguing characters that keep it moving! Worthy of a read. Following Annie as goes from an unseen life to front and center as she’s the last to see Chloe before she disappears.

First book I have read by this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well written and gripping, couldnt put it down! I would highly recommend this.

An intriguing, original and very creepy thriller. Annie gets embroiled in the mysterious disappearance of a local 12 year old. Annie is a cringeworthy misfit in many ways, and the plot unfolds gradually, skipping back and forth in time, allowing us to build up a fuller picture of her shady past.
Slightly convoluted / long winded in places but also strangely compelling.

I found this really hard to get into as I find Annie a really unlikeable character . This doesn’t normally affect my reading but with this one I just couldn’t get any further so I decided to DNF.

The synopsis indicates that you will have an unreliable narrator. I would have most likely enjoyed this one more if I would have went in blindly. I expected more.

First book by this author and it won't be my last!
Well written and once I got into it I couldn't put it down and the storyline flowed really well.

People struggle to connect with others, and I think the pandemic of 2020 and 21 made it even worse. This makes for a good read of where a woman tries to connect with the outside world in her own special way. Someone gets murdered, she tries to investigate but becomes a suspect herself. Good solid read.

This book was a brilliant story that could have been ripped from the headlines. I couldn't quite connect with the main character and the decisions that she was making at first but by the end of the book it all made total sense.
I enjoyed the story and the ending was unexpected in a good way.

The main character in this was so relatable and I really felt for her. The plot flowed really well and I didn’t want to put this down

The empathy that I felt for the main character had me cringing at everything that went wrong for her. This book was beautifully written, and was one of the first books this year that made me feel utterly connected to a character

Exciting book to read. I couldn’t put it down once I started it. It was a great plot the book was very well written and flowed well. Definitely a winner

I enjoyed this book - the main character, Annie, is a troubled, dysfunctional and awkward young woman who in all honestly is quite hard to like (deliberately I would guess)
Initially I cringed for her as she continued to make blunder after blunder, but as the story went on and events unfurled, it all began to make sense.
Ultimately the story of destroyed childhood which was just so sad. .
The dual storyline was good and kept me reading long into the night to see what happened next.

CWs: kidnapping, missing persons, murder, child murder, divorce, stalking
A really solid thriller that kept me guessing from start to finish.
I really enjoyed the dual timelines and loved the way that as soon as you think you know what is happening you are hit with a really interesting twist. There is somewhat of a question of the culpability of children in crimes and the lasting effect their crimes can having on them, their families, and their communities. I was also really gripped with trying to find out what happening to the missing 17-year-old in the present timeline, continually guessing what could have happened to her.
Definitely the kind of thriller that sticks with you.

All Your Little Lies by Marianne Holmes was an intriguing read, but at times I found it quite slow going and hard to get into, but overall I enjoyed the storyline.

Omg omg omg .......... this book was amazing I could not put it down I read every word on the edge of my seat I loved the story line, i loved the way the story just kept us guessing all the way threw I loved all the twists and turns and would defiantly recommend this book it was so believable and kept the reader engaged I love it

I really enjoyed the book. A little slow to begin with, but when I the story started to come together it was a good read and kept you wanting to read. The back story was intriguing. It was a nice read.

All Your Little Lies by Marianne Holmes is a great read and one that kept me guessing. I always enjoy dysfunctional and different lead characters, and this book achieved that. I didn't know exactly where the story was going, but it was overall quite good and entertaining.

Sorry to say that this title just didn't work for me. I found it very hard to get interested in it, and I had a hard time finishing the book. Maybe I am tired of reading about just the ordinary Joe trying to be the hero and solve crimes, but its just getting too unrealistic for me.

Not fitting in but wanting to and hiding secrets for a reason. I found this to be gripping and couldn't wait to get to the end to find out Annies story and just what she saw.
