Lily Atwood is an award winning television reporter with a secret from her past that she would like to keep private. Does someone know too much about her and want to ruin her life, and the lives of her loved ones? Her Perfect Life is another phenomenal thrill ride by Hank Phillipi Ryan. I was glued to the pages and couldn't put this book down. I highly recommend this book!

I thought this book was ridiculous. None of the characters were even remotely likable and the only parts I found my mind not drifting was Cassie’s. The whole premise was so silly and frankly, not executed very well. The dialogue was strange and at times absurd. The twist at the end was interesting but not mind blowing or anything. I had high hopes for this as I saw good reviews so I might be in the minority here but for me, this was a major dud.

Another wonderful tense chilling read by Hank Phillippi Ryan.Her books always keep me reading late into the night and the same happened with this one.So well written so tense .#netgalley #macmillantorforge

Hank did it again! This is my favorite of all of her novels so far. A thriller that I couldn’t put down, with twists that I couldn’t guess. Loved it!

Her Perfect life was a fantastic read. I wasn't sure what to expect from this because of the mixed reviews, I'd say I exercised quite a bit of suspension of desbelief whilst reading this book, and it worked for me.

The main character is a successful producer who uses an anonymous source who feeds her tips, and she believes every single of them blindly... who does that? Lily Atwood, of course!

I have to say I loved the three different viewpoints, the unreliable narrator and... that secret (which was absolutely insane!!!)

Overall a fun read.

Disclosure: I would like to thank the publisher for my advanced reader copy of the book. This is my honest review

Her Perfect Life has lots of twists and turns, you will not see what’s coming. And the ending will surprise you, yes the one with the perfect life isn’t as it seems. Will her secrets remain private I guess you will have to read the book to find out what her secret is.

Her Perfect Life is a good Mystery I enjoyed it.

Her Perfect Life could be Hank Phillippi Ryan's best yet. This tightly wound, perfectly knotted mystery centers around Lily Alcott, a popular television news icon, and the story-book life she has constructed for herself, When a secret from her past threatens to ruin her, who can she trust to keep the secret safe? Masterful twists and intriguing characters will keep you entertained to the very end.

Another winner from Hank Phillippi Ryan! Her Perfect Life is "perfectly" thrilling and the suspense doesn't let up. I loved all the characters and the many layers to this story. Don't miss out on this one!!

Hank Phillippi Ryan's HER PERFECT LIFE
While there can’t be a perfect life, this may well be a perfect book. I was completely blown away by twists and turns and the ending, I did NOT see coming, but which felt so right. I LOVED THIS BOOK!
Lily’s “over-protective” care for her daughter grew from the unsolved disappearance of her sister when she was young. One can’t reason away the pain of loss, early traumas and ongoing fear . . . one can only help create a safe space, as we did for a friend who feared dogs because of a traumatic early childhood attack.
Part of her protective armor is the creation of a perfect life #perfectlily with the income to support private school, a nanny, and other safety barriers. The problem is that perfection is not possible, not real, and as friends and I remind each other, perfection is the enemy of the good. As the “perfect” life, a house of cards, begins to wobble, whom can Lily trust to help keep Rowen and herself and others safe? Sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s really on your side, especially while trying to maintain a mask of perfection.
Clear the calendar for this one, as you won’t want to put it down!
Lesson: Taking responsibility and making amends is a better way to build an authentic life.
Side note: Ryan’s use of multiple narrators adds to the clarity of the story. I color code markers for each, but this is written so clearly that I wouldn’t have needed to.

Her Perfect Life starts out as a fast paced thriller with an alternating duel narratives between Lily Atwood and her Producer, Greer. Lily is the local TV news "talent", the face the public loves. Greer is our unreliable or untrustworthy narrator of the two that seems to both love and resent the woman that gets all the credit. But wait, throw in a mysterious source that is feeding the women juicy tidbits of information that makes Lily's star shine all the brighter. And, if that isn't enough, there is always a secret. This one is Lily's who has been hiding what she believes is a career-ending whopper.
While you're cruising along at mach speed, another narrator pops up that starts to develop a backstory and the possible secret that Lily wants kept hidden.
I have to admit, it got somewhat confusing at times with the addition of characters and alias' but it all comes together in the end.
Thank you to Ms Ryan and Netgalley for an early copy. All opinions are my own.

Everyone knows Lily Atwood—and that may be her biggest problem. The beloved television reporter has it all—fame, fortune, Emmys, an adorable seven-year-old daughter, and the hashtag her loving fans created: PerfectLily. To keep it all she has to do is protect one life-changing secret. Easier said than done. This book grabbed me on page one and kept me up all night finishing it. More page-turning suspense than I have read in a while. I had my suspicions about who the bad guy was but wasn't positive so the ending was perfect. I'm not sure Hank Phillippi Ryan can write a bad book and this story maintains her status of Queen of Mystery in my book. Trust me....this will be one of the best books you will read this year. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced readers copy for review.

This was not my favorite novel. I was not going to finish it, but I powered through. The first 2/3 was boring. The last 1/3 kept me interested.

This is one of those stories I raced through to see who done it, and a little more than halfway in, figured it out. I still enjoyed seeing all the threads finally weave together toward an agreeable ending.
Lily is that perfect person we all know, impossible. Her producer's role is both crucial and breeds the inevitable resentment that tie them together.
Using information from a secretive and anonymous source has propelled their career to great heights until things change. With clues from her past that only someone very close to her could know, Lily suddenly is confronted with a possible answer to the disappearance of her sister many years ago. But this solution presents several layers of risk. to her career, her daughter and her peace of mind. But the truth is irresistible and they follow the leads.
Once I gathered what I believed would be the story, it was more fun to follow the action but I never really saw the purpose of Greer.
This is a fun end of the day read, 3.5 stars
