On the outside, a perfect family. A loving wife and husband and 2 beautiful children. A last minute decision to accept a foreign exchange student leads to excitement and new challenges. However, under the surface, everyone is harboring secrets.
The first part is very slow and then eventually speeds up. I enjoyed the concept and story of the book but I struggled with the characters. They didn’t have much depth and the main focus, Jo, the mom is downright annoying. I get her kids are everything and that’s her argument for being over protective but it got very repetitive very quickly. The second half had more action to Jo didn’t bother me as much. Great twist and ending though.

I will admit, when I started this book after reading the book synopsis that I was so thrilled to read this book!!! However, it took almost Half The book to even believe I was reading the same book that the synopsis was describing.... I just couldn't believe it was the same story until around Chapter 23 that the first event mentioned in the synopsis happened so I felt unsure about the book leading up until that point. Despite that, I absolutely loved this book! Great character building the twists and turns at the end were totally gripping and heart stopping. I highly recommend someone starting this book to know it does eventually make sense!! Great read!

Wow. What a ride.
The first 30% was a bit slow as we get introduced into the world and characters. But then Eden starts to become a very suspicious character (btw Eden is an exchange student from England with severe allergies allegedly) and Jo (the mum) starts to count the time until she’s gone. But then she disappears and the husband gets arrested and wowow everything I thought was going to happen ended up being not correct. Overall great read with minor notes.

Thanks to the author and Netgalley for the ARC and the possibility to read this book.

📚✨BOOK REVIEW✨📚
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Three Little Lies by Danielle Stewart

This was a twisty, bingeable read that had me flipping pages all weekend. If you're into messy family secrets, control-freak moms, and exchange students who might not be what they seem... buckle up.

Jo is that mom—on top of everything—until her seemingly perfect world starts unraveling thread by thread. From a bratty daughter to a suspiciously secretive husband… oh, and did I mention the exchange student goes missing? 👀

Watching Jo spiral while clinging to control was honestly the best part. A solid domestic thriller with just enough bite to keep you hooked.


Will be published on my blog and IG Sunday 7/6

It took me a little while to get into this read but then the twists started coming and I couldn’t put it down!

Three Little Lies is a tense psychological thriller that explores the cracks beneath a seemingly perfect family life. Jo and Everett’s marriage starts to fall apart after a shocking confession, and the secrets they try to hide quickly spiral out of control. Danielle Stewart does a great job building suspense with twists that keep you guessing until the end. It’s a gripping read about trust, betrayal, and how far people will go to protect the ones they love. If you like domestic thrillers with emotional depth and plenty of surprises, this one’s definitely worth a look.

This book was captivating, thrilling, and at times so mysterious that no matter how hard I tried, I could not predict what was coming.

I’ve read a lot of thrillers and can usually piece things together, but while I had my theories, the conclusion still caught me off guard—in the best way. No predictable twists here!

The plot was tight, with no noticeable holes, and the morally gray characters? Chef’s kiss. I adore a cast where everyone operates in that murky middle ground.

The multiple POVs worked perfectly—not too many to be confusing, just enough to keep the suspense high.

If you love an unpredictable thriller with compelling, complex characters, this one is definitely worth the read.




thank you to net galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review *

Marshall expertly weaves past and present timelines, gradually revealing the layers of deception and the complexities of the characters' relationships. I typically don’t enjoy this style of writing, but this book may have changed my mind! The suspense builds steadily, keeping readers on edge as they navigate the twists and turns of the plot. The exploration of themes such as trust, betrayal, and the consequences of past actions adds depth to the narrative, making it more than just a typical thriller.

Three Little Lies was a really good read. It had interesting characters and enough twists and turns to hold my attention without going over the top.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

This book had me hooked almost instantly!! If I’d had the time, I would’ve finished it in one day.

After being in a pretty long reading slump, this book ya led me right back out. The twists were engaging and I enjoyed the author’s writing.

The plot could be considered a little outlandish, but with the right pacing/writing (which this totally had), it made for a 5 star read.

With this book, Danielle Stewart might’ve just been added to my auto buy list!!

Thanks to NetGalley & publisher for this ebook.

I was excited to read this one! The plot had me intrigued and ready to devour the story. Unfortunately I was left feeling a little underwhelmed. I guessed the twist early on and so the ending fell flat. However, it was still well written and a decent, quick read

Tgis was a tense, emotionally layered thriller that delves into themes of trust, deception, and the fragile dynamics of family. The writing is engaging, and really brings you into this world readers into a world where nothjng is what it seems. Its well writing with compelx themes thredded throughout resulting in a suspenseful read and a thoughtful examination of how the smallest lies can unravel everything.

Pulse-pounding thriller! A foreign exchange student unravels a couple's reality. Unputdownable from page one!

Three Little Lies is a relentlessly gripping and intense psychological thriller that will have readers glued to the page. The story plunges into a nightmare scenario as a woman's seemingly perfect life unravels under the weight of her husband's escalating lies.

The compelling twists and turns made this book impossible to put down. While it starts as a slow burn, the pacing is actually perfect for unraveling this complex story. You won’t see the twists coming! I look forward to reading more from this new-to-me author.

Jo is a neurotic American stay at home mother who spends her life helicoptering over her teenage daughter and son, who has many complex food allergies, while her husband travels around the world with work. When complimented into taking an exchange student, she thinks this might help her and her daughter to get on better and find common ground, however things don’t go to plan when the exchange student goes missing and some home truths come to the surface.

This is an excellent book which had me gasping on several occasions. An absolute must read.

I really enjoyed this one! I found myself thinking about the story and what could possibly going on when I wasn’t actively reading it. I really related to Jo with her anxiety, especially surrounding her son’s food allergies (my son also has severe food allergies). It really enjoyed the main twist and did not see it coming, although I felt the very final twist at the end was a bit underwhelming for how much I feel it was *hyped* to be this horrible dark thing that happened in Jo’s past. If you like domestic thrillers, I’d give this one a shot !

This book had me hooked from the first page,
I found the writing style really easy to read and there was so many twists and turns it had me guessing the outcome throughout the story.


I can't wait to read more by this author as I really enjoy her writing style.

"Three Little Lies" I loved the dual timelines - they don't always work, but Danielle was able to beautifully weave the two together while building a great story. With the two timelines, I felt every chapter was another secret from the girls' past being revealed. Could not put it down!

This was a fast paced thriller, I really felt myself flying through the chapters with this one. It kept me hooked and eager to read on. This would have been a higher rating if I hadn’t of guessed the plot twist early on in this book. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
