Didn't capture my attention and engagement. Interested in trying it again though and hopefully it will take.

I was so excited to get an early copy of this, because I've loved other Hank Philippi Ryan books, but this didn't live up to my expectations, unfortunately. I really enjoyed the first half. It's fast, and the alternating POVs and flashbacks are great at building suspense. But about halfway through, you find out what happened to Cassie, and it just didn't make sense. I stuck it out because I was really hoping I was just missing something, it'd come together later. And there are some twists later that definitely surprised me, and helped a bit with the logic, but I still felt like there were too many plot holes that were just not addressed. My other issue is that all the POVs didn't seem necessary. It added an extra mystery to incorporate, but that mystery didn't add anything to the primary storyline. When it all came together, I felt like that POV and story was just a distraction from the main story.

I loved this book! Lily was a beautiful emmy wining news reporter with secrets. Greer her producer gets pulled into the game of the mysterious person threatening to expose her secrets. He story is also narrated by Cassie a woman from the past. The past comes to the present with a vengeance let’s just say. Otherwise will give away the plot. Loved it though

I had really high expectations with this book. I liked it but I didnt love it. Found it hard to connect with the characters so that influenced my rating. I just felt like something was missing. I got frustrated with what the characters were doing.

This incredible thriller kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. The characters draw you in and the plot is fast paced. I really enjoyed it and looking forward to recommending to friends.

Lily is a high profile TV reporter that everyone envies. People think she has a perfect life, but she’s got one big secret she’s hiding. Lily’s life slowly begins to crumbled when one of her sources starts giving her information about her own life.

This book is carefully crafter with multiple timelines and POVs that keep readers hooked until one giant twist is revealed. The characters of this book are well written and I loved the relationship between Lily and her sister and daughter. They are extremely sympathetic characters and the relationships add another complex layer to this book.

This is a fast paced thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Her Perfect Life is a fast paced thriller with a twist that I didn't expect but made perfect sense! Great beach read.

I loved the short chapters but somehow sometimes they dragged. Character was often too gullible to believe sometimes. Alot of things didn't make sense or add up and never were clarified which made it all so confusing and pointless

This book was the only thing that was able to capture my attention during a difficult time. I loved about 75% of it. Unfortunately, the ending fell a bit flat for me and the story overall seemed a bit far-fetched.

Fake sugary sweet tv announcers get their just deserves? Can we say many of us are on board for that? Yes, but when children are involved things get messy. And then messier.

absolutely loved this book and kept me excited to keep
Reading. Will read more from this author
Thank you

Going into this, I think I had a different idea of how this would play out than it actually did, which is part of why my expectations were higher than they should have been. I have a habit of doing this to myself. Despite this, I did enjoy this for the most part. I was definitely surprised by all of the twists and turns and found this to be a fast moving thriller. I would have liked a bit more depth in all of the characters. I had a hard time connecting to each of them because the POV bounced between the timelines but never gave a full picture of the sisters together and pieced it in throughout the book. I typically love a dual POV narrative and wasn't confused by this one at all but somehow thought it didn't flow quite the way it should. I think the story was fascinating and definitely enjoyable, but it was just missing something to give it that WOW factor in my opinion. Overall, I think the writing was very well done and the plot keeps you absorbed in what is happening to the characters. However, the investigative portion of this wasn't really up my alley and took away a star for me. I look forward to reading more from this author. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of Her Perfect Life. A story about Lily and her perfect life as a local celebrity/journalist with secrets of her own. I love all the twists and turns in this book and not knowing who to trust. I liked it was told in past and present timeline giving you a glimpse of what happened.

Lily Atwood is a famous social media star and while it might seem like she has the perfect life the opposite is true. Her sister Cassie has been missing for many years and nobody has been able to find out what happened to her.

One day her colleague goes missing as well and Lily is approached by a detective who offers his help to Lily.

Little does Lily know that Cassie has a dark past and she may not be as innocent as she seems.

This was definitely my favourite book by this author. I have now read three of her books and this one is by far the best. I really enjoyed the various plot twists and the ending was extremely unpredictable. I also really enjoyed the narrator of this one who was easy to listen to and kept things exciting. I would definitely say this is a must read for everyone

I'm fairly new to author Hank Phillippi Ryan as Her Perfect Life is only the 2nd book of hers that I've read. But Ryan has become another favorite author and I'll definitely be checking out her backlist along with whatever she comes up with next!

I love twisty books and my oh my, this book had some delicious twists that I enjoyed so much!

Lily is perfect. She leads a glamorous life as a famous award winning newscaster. Greer is Lily's producer, and her job is to help Lily continue to be perfect. But then Greer discovers that Lily has secrets.

This book is told by alternating points of view between Lily and Greer and is a fascinating look at the life of a celebrity.

It's also a mystery, a thriller, and very suspenseful and I enjoyed every minute.

*Thanks so much to Forge Books and NetGalley for the advance copy!*

Thank you Netgalley for this digital ARC - all opinions are my own.

I genuinely enjoyed this book and all if its twists and turns, and let me tell you that there are plenty of them. With complex characters and a handful of character POV's, all narrators feel unreliable enough to make you second guess yourself as you piece together the mystery (similar to Lucy Foley books in this way). The pacing is fast and will let you speed through it in a flash! Compulsively readable.

The twist at the end was not predictable and was definitely satisfying but made me wonder - why?

Overall I would rate this a solid 4 stars and would recommend to any mystery/thriller lover.

I have been sitting on this review while I digested my feelings about Her Perfect Life. I liked the story, but the pacing was choppy and the main character was infuriating. One would think that a hard-nosed journalist would have way more sense than Lily ever showed. I powered through and finished, but was underwhelmed. Love the author, but this one was not my favorite.

I have never read anything by this author before and I really enjoyed her writing style. I loved the multiple POVs, I thought it really helped to bring the story to a head by the time you finish.

I thought the characters were different enough that I found myself rooting for Lily & Cassie, while starting to dislike Greer.

It kept me guessing pretty much throughout the entirety of the book, and I was satisfied with the ending.

Ms. Ryan's writing style is intriguing and a bit unusual. I have read a couple of her other books and she seems to take you in the back door of her stories. Sometimes it feels as if I'm missing something until I get to the end and all is revealed.

I received an ebook ARC from Netgalley and this is my voluntary, honest review from the hardback version.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to connect with this book and did not finish reading it. I may give it another try at sometime in the future.
