Description
In her private memoir, Theresa Alston Crandall reflects on family secrets she has held for forty years. Her duplicity has created a life of uneven rewards as she begins to hear footsteps from the past sneaking up on her. Is it too late to start over? Revealing the truth of her missteps would shatter the present and demand answers to painful questions. She has betrayed her husband and sons, causing them to be unsuspecting players in her orchestrated deception.
Theresa spends time at Whimsy Towers, the oceanfront home she inherited from a grandmother she never knew. Poetry, parties, good food, and gratitude fill the summer days, allowing Theresa to maintain a careful charade. Whimsy Towers holds her secrets, until her safety from exposure gradually unravels.
The mysterious death of her son requires Theresa to confront a host of unresolved problems, a twisted accumulation of love and lies. From Cape Cod to Alexandria, Virginia, and St. Michaels, Maryland, new relationships develop. Through losing and finding love, she redefines family.

I thought this was a very deep and delicate novel. It was very moving and it made me want to continue reading about Theresa and all her family secrets. I felt like I personally knew the character and was right along side. Love & Lies was very beautiful and very well written.

This book was so good! The characters were so well rounded, you felt like you actually knew them! The plot was so good you didn't want the book to end!

Love & Lies is a memoir-story of Theresa and her deep dark secrets. This book opened a lot of portals for me, which kinda made me overthink and analyse my decisions. Thats what Theresa does in her memoir. She feels she has lead a double life.. her pain, feel of remorse, her hesitations are penned well by the author. The words are very moving and deep!
Thank you NetGalley, author and publisher for the ARC. This review is my own and is not influenced in any way.
