Meg is a con artist, and has spent years perfecting her craft of telling everyone what they want to hear until she gets her hands on what she wants then disappears.

Kat has been waiting for 10 years to find the women who upended her life. Now that she's finally found her, she is determined to be the one to expose her.

The Lies I tell is such a twisty book following these strong women's past and present. There is so much going on that you cannot put the book down unless you are taking a second to process something that just happened. I greatly enjoyed this twisty tale that kept me guessing to the end.

Special thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the digital book in exchange for a candid review.

This was a great book. It was suspenseful and kepy me guessing. This is the first time reading a Julie Clark novel. I will definitley be reading more of her books.

Julie Clark is quickly becoming one of my favorite new authors. I adored her last book but The Lies I Tell was even better. Twisty and turny, it kept me guessing until the very end.

5 FREAKING STARS!! Her writing is amazing and engaging and riveting, Such a well written book that had me thinking about it days after. How do you not fall in love with Meg's character as she journeys through a sick mom, homelessness, and a con artist. The suspense kept me going. Such a great read!

This what not my kind of my book. Predictable and less than thrilling, this book did not intrigue me at all. Some parts were interesting, but overall, it wasn't worth the time..

I found the characters hard to relate to, maybe I just missed something. It all seemed a little too... All men are bad? I don't know. Maybe this just wasn't the book for me. I will not share my review outside of netgalley because I can't find the right words to explain why it didn't resonate for me.

You will not be able to put this book down! It is so freaking good. The storyline seems simple, until you read it, and realize how great the author is at spinning the plot twists up.

My review as posted on Goodreads:

I am grateful that the publishers provided a copy of this book to read and review. Wow! I could not put this book down and read it in less than 12 hours today. Clark did an amazing job creating characters that I hated and loved at the same time. I wanted Meg to be caught but wanted her to succeed too! And Kat’s epilogue? Brilliant! So different than what I expected! I’d highly recommend this book…great summer read!

Great dual timeline story. Two women out for revenge, except one wants revenge on the other. I was rooting for them both - one because she was fighting for the greater good. The other because she was fighting for herself. The end, kinda expected but still amazing. I stayed up until 2 am to finish.

I absolutely loved loved loved this book! The plot was very simple to read with only a few main characters which made the story really easy to follow and connect. The story itself was fantastic and I loved learning about Meg and how her and Kats story intertwined and ultimately played out. I do wish we learned a little more about Megs alter egos… Cory’s story was the biggest part of the plot so I don’t really count that as learning about Megs past; I loved hearing about Phillip and would have loved another example. Overall this wasn’t a “twisty” thriller (I am not even sure if this is a thriller lol), but it was a great story of revenge and how peoples actions aren’t always how they originally seem to be!

THIS BOOK! The writing was great, the characters were so well developed, the evil characters killed it, the con artists were better than I expected and i am so glad i picked it up because it was very unexpected but in a good way!!!!

Clark's writing is engaging and evocative, creating a vivid and immersive world that is both captivating and terrifying. The tension and suspense in the novel are expertly crafted, and the pacing is spot on, ensuring that readers will be unable to put the book down.

Overall, The Lies I Tell is a gripping and entertaining read that is sure to satisfy fans of the thriller genre. With its well-crafted plot, complex characters, and expert pacing, it is a must-read for anyone looking for a page-turning novel that will keep them up late into the night.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the free review copy! 4 stars! Julie Clark has done a wonderful job portraying a cat & mouse game among two different women with interwoven lies. I was a big fan of The Last Flight by Julie Clark & this novel does not disappoint. Deception, friendship, and revenge are key tenets of the story and the ending is great.

I had not read many novels by Nora Roberts before I read Nightwork and I enjoyed it so much I decided to read Identity. I really enjoy the mystery mixed with romance. I love how the wonderful characters especially the strong women were developed..

When Morgan's identity is stolen she loses everything and we see how she rebuilds her life and becomes stronger.

The dynamic between Morgan and Miles was so entertaining.

I look forward to reading other Nora Roberts books in the future. I have become a fan.

Thank you Net Galley for letting me read it before publication

The story flows alright. It would've been easy for things to become too confusing to follow, but that did not happen. I didn't really connect with either of the two main characters, but it was easier to more or less understand one of them than the other.

Think Leverage, but more personal, not a team, and not so much about fun. Overall, a pretty good read.

Thanks to Netgalley, Sourcebooks publishing , and Julia Clark for this ARC. I loved Last Flight and really wanted this book to be as good…I was not disappointed. This was one really good book. Did you ever really want for the bad person to win. ? Sometimes evil deeds can not go unpunished. Meg saw that revenge is sweet and that makes her my kind of person…fictionally speaking of course. I love routing for the underdog, and having them come out on top ! 5 stars and a definite recommendation to my bookclub. I think this book can get us all talking …

This book was amazing! I was instantly hooked and flipping the pages to see what was going to happen next. I couldn't put this one down. Highly recommend this one!

The Lies I Tell is a quick, compelling read about a grifter and a journalist determined to take her down. I was hooked–I love reading about grifters, like in Pretty Things and The Last Mrs. Parrish. This was one of those books where I couldn’t decide who I should root for–I sympathized with both Meg and Kat, even though they were on opposite sides!

While this book is thrilling, it wasn't exactly a thriller. There’s no big reveal, the reader just steadily finds out what happens and why. The pages turn quickly, though, and I was excited to see how Meg’s con would turn out.

I haven’t read The Last Flight yet (although I own it!), but I will certainly be jumping in soon after enjoying this one.

It hooked me from page one and kept me engaged with the dial POVs and nonlinear timeline 👏🏻⁣

It starts with two characters: Meg, a mysterious con women, and Kat, a journalist on a mission to discover the truth about Meg. This one is more fun going into without too much background info, but it’s kind of like CATCH ME IF YOU CAN meets psychological mystery, so if that’s your thing, you’re probably going to love this one!
