Lies You Wanted to Hear by James Whitfield Thomson & Giveaway (US/Canada)

November 1, 2013 by Darlene

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you all had a great Halloween.  We had more kids than we’ve ever had so it was a good night.  To end our week I’m spotlighting a book releasing on November 5 entitled Lies You Wanted to Hear by James Whitfield Thomson and it’s also Redbook magazine’s December Book Club Pick!  This book sounds amazing and I wish I could have had it read in time for this post but alas I could not.  Read on to the description of this novel to see why it is that I can’t wait to read it and be sure to pop by the end of the post for a chance to win a copy for yourself.

LIES YOU WANTED TO HEAR (from Sourcebooks)

Alone in an empty house, Lucy tries to imagine the lives of her two young children. They have been gone for seven years, and she is tormented by the role she played in that heartbreaking loss. You can hardly see a glimpse of the sexy, edgy woman she used to be. Back then, she was a magnet for men like Matt, who loved her beyond reason, and Griffin, who wouldn’t let go but always left her wanting more. Now the lies they told and the choices they made have come to haunt all three of them.

With shattering turns, Lies You Wanted to Hear explores the way good people talk themselves into doing terrible, unthinkable things. What happens when we come to believe our own lies? And what price must we pay for our mistakes?

A searing story that will leave you wondering what choices you would make, Lies You Wanted to Hear is a stunning debut.

    We didn’t get any trick or treaters last night. It was windy and rainy, but we still usually have at least a couple. This sounds like a pretty intense story.

    I can’t imagine what you could do to lose your children. I assume the lies are what she tells herself about her part in losing her children. This will be a fascinating read.

    This does sound like a fascinating story and the synopsis makes it just mysterious enough that you want to find out what’s happening. I’d love to get a copy.

    Interesting sounding book. What happened? Was it a bad environment? Did she go to Prison? Did she abandon them? Were they abused? I need to win this book so I can find the answer. Please! Maxie mac262(at)me(dot)
