***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

While the book provides an abundance of content, I felt that the story lacked significant events. It began at a slow pace, with much of the focus on the protagonist, Alexandra's, feelings rather than on the unfolding of actions. Fortunately, the narrative did pick up towards the end. However, Alexandra's internal struggle between doing what is right and keeping her secret felt prolonged and at times too much. Her overwhelming emotions seemed a bit overdone.

The relationship between Alexandra, her mother, and her adopted brother, Niall, was somewhat perplexing. Although her mother had fostered several children, she chose to adopt Niall, and both of them were deeply fond of him. Alexandra even formed a strong bond with him. However, one night 20 years ago, Alexandra spilled everything to her mother, and despite their love for Niall, they continued their lives as if he no longer existed. This aspect of the story was unclear to me.

Alexandra's hypersensitivity, even to the sound of rain, was excessive as well. The main character was difficult to sympathize with. Despite having many secrets herself, Alexandra became excessively paranoid about others lying to her when her secrets were at risk of being exposed. While her husband did indeed lie to her, she came across as somewhat hypocritical.

Overall, this was not one of my favorite books. I found the main character challenging to like and occasionally irritating.

I do appreciate the author's effort in crafting the story, even though it was not to my taste. Thank you, Storm Publishing and NetGalley, for providing me with the opportunity to read this book.

This book kept me up far past my bedtime every time I picked it up to read. Finished it a couple of days. I cannot wait for it to be released.

Alexandra has kept her past a secret and when she is appointed to a jury, someone blackmails her into revealing everything if she doesn't follow their instructions. She will soon discover that she is not the only one keeping secrets.
The plot is interesting but at times I found it a little slow and predictable. I didn't really empathise with the characters either.
Overall a good novel to pass the time and little else.

I couldn’t put this one down! Alexander has built a new life after a tragic night at a party 20 years ago. She’s trying to put the past behind her, but when she gets called to jury duty and recognizes the one on trial, she knows her past is coming back to haunt her. She doesn’t know who she can trust but wants to do all she can to keep her family safe. Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC.

The story is a bit messy and all over the place. It was hard to get into for me, but I pushed through. I felt the storyline had promise but the way it unfolded was very messy. Sometimes the story was so boring, I had to push through just to get by. I found the story to pick up pace near the end when we have a conclusion as to what occurred 20 years prior.

This is a story filled with secrets, twists and turns. All the characters are lying in the book! What a perfect title!!

Everyone is Lying is a mystery/thriller book about a woman named Alexandra and her questionable past. I was hooked from the start! Trying to figure out what exactly happened and how it all connects to the present. I really loved Alexandra’s character and her growth throughout the book. This book is based in the UK, which came with some confusion, me being in the US, but I still found the book easy to follow, despite the different use of language. While reading, I kept waiting for the BIG plot twist that I thought was coming, but unfortunately never did. Overall, this was a great quick read, although a little predictable. 3.5 rounded up!

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were good with a good storyline that kept you wondering where it was all going to go. This is the first book I've read by DE White and I'll be looking forward to reading more by the author

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion

this story is just so good a very fast paced addictive read. it in a day. Alexandra has the perfect life happily. Married two children and her own business. but when Alexandra is called for jury duty her life is about to change. her past is going to collide everything that she has tried to keep buried. you think you figured it out but nope, lies deceit and a good plot so recommend.

Bit of a slow one for me compared to my usual style but still a as good plot, Some mystery and suspense but just didn't keep me engrossed, bit of a slow burn.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Everyone is Lying is my first novel by D. E. White.
To me it is a slow burn mystery that was quite exciting to read. I do like more twists and turns that were in this book but it was still a great read. I enjoyed it a lot as I read it in a day. I do recommend it.
Thank you Storm Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC.

Could have been a five star with the idea of plot but a but slow and while finished it , it could get me engrossed.

Thank you Net Galley for an advanced copy

Bit of a slow one for me.

My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of Everyone is Lying by D.E. White due to be published March 31, 2025.

Alexandra has the perfect life: a successful business, a loving husband, and two beautiful children. But twenty years ago, she witnessed something she was never meant to see. Now she has to confront her past and try to destroy some of the most powerful men in the country. Will she succeed or get hurt in the process.
This one was very different from any plot I had read. I thought I had figured it out, but nope, I didn’t. Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, it went another way. A page turner for sure!

I enjoyed this one a great deal! In 2004 Lexy is a "Candy Girl," a hostess who earns money by entertaining men. Now in the present she is married to Harlan, a police officer and they have two young children. She finds an odd oragami bird on her doorstep and it reminds her of her sketchy past. Then when she is assigned jury duty, she finds herself on a murder case and believes she recognizes the defendant from her past. Now she must put all those memories behind her as she is bound by the law but it brings back so many memories she has trouble staying in the present! It's a captivating story that I raced through as it's unlike anything I've read!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.

This was ok, I didn't love it but I didn't hate it so 3 mediocre stars. There was no. suspense, no relating to the characters, zero communication between Alexandra and her husband. I mean, he springs a surprise purchase on her and she has almost no reaction? And then they go on with their lives? As for the court trial, why was she allowed to be on the jury in the first place if her husband is a police officer? Predictable ending where she seemed to get a grip on herself at the very last minute. A quick read but Ii wouldn't recommend it.

I wanted to like this book more than I did. I think the plot was interesting, I like the mystery and the way that it unravelled I just feel like we spent a lot of time in Alexandra’s thoughts and it was so cerebral that I just didn’t care for her. It’s hard to like a character who spends the whole time stressed and depressed and waits until the last 5% to actually do anything.

I think if this was written from Lana’s perspective it might have been more interesting. Or if more of Harlan’s activities were involved and they were both running against the clock at the same time for their different crimes.

I think it definitely has potential but maybe not the best execution.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. This is my honest opinion.
