Description
The perfect family... or the perfect lie?
To the outside world, Gemma Bradley has it all – a doting husband, high-flying career and two delightful kids – but inside the four walls of her tastefully renovated home, she is a mother at her wits’ end who has given too many last warnings and counted to ten too many times.
When a child’s scream pierces the night, Gemma’s neighbour does what anyone would do: she calls the police. She wants to make sure that Rosie, the little girl next door, is safe.
Gemma knows she hasn’t done anything wrong, but the more she fights to defend the family she loves, the more her flawless life begins to crumble around her. Is the carefully guarded secret she’s been keeping suddenly in danger of breaking free?
When Rosie disappears, Gemma thinks she only has herself to blame. That is, until she discovers that Rosie has been keeping dark secrets of her own in a pink plastic diary.
Distraught and terrified, Gemma doesn’t know where to turn. The only thing she knows is that her daughter’s life is in danger…
Little Liar is a heart-in-your-mouth psychological thriller about the people we choose to trust and the secrets we keep behind closed doors. If you loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl or anything by B.A. Paris you’ll be totally and utterly gripped.

Definitely worth a read
I really enjoyed this book, and for me it was definitely one that kept me turning the pages to find out what would happen next. The author uses fantastic language to articulate the journey of each character and so it was easy to create the images of what was happening.
My reasoning for 3 out of 5 was the ending. It seemed to just come to a sudden stop which didn’t do justice to the amazing writing that preceded it. It felt rushed, and although the ends of the story were tied up - it just didn’t feel as satisfying as it could have been.
I would still recommend reading this book as the majority of it is thought provoking and addictive to read.

An interesting read
I read this book because of all the really good reviews for it, I found that it did live up to its hype, although I’m not sure if it really fits into the crime/thriller genre on saying that though I wouldn’t be sure what genre it would fit into, nonetheless, I did really enjoy it and I would definitely recommend

Hmmm
This book was good, well written (enough to ignore a few grammatical errors) however the blurb is so inaccurate it could be for a different book altogether. So then it doesn’t quite live up to the expectation. I kept thinking I’d confused it with another story. I would rewrite the book description because I kept wondering when the things I was told to expect were going to actually happen...so that created a huge anticlimax. So I’ve given 4 stars because 3 is too low but really I’d give 3.5 stars

Fantastic
This is an amazing story. I haven’t been so gripped by a book for a long time - it even made me cry along with the characters. Simply fantastic.

The blurb gives too much away
From the blurb you’d think the focus of this book would be on the disappearance of Rosie with her ‘life being in danger’. However this occupies less than 50 pages of the 1500 pages (on an iPhone) of this book. Due to this there was no suspense in the book and it was rather dull.

Disappointing
I found the book messy and unfinished in so many places. Some parts of the story are so long winded and unnecessary. The ending was one of the worst I’ve come across, it didn’t tie up any of the issues in the book.
