Goodreads Summary:
Rachel and Alice are an extremely rare kind of identical
twins—so identical that even their aunt and uncle, whom they’ve lived with
since their parents passed away, can’t tell them apart. But the sisters are
connected in a way that goes well beyond their surfaces: when one experiences
pain, the other exhibits the exact same signs of distress. So when one twin
mysteriously disappears, the other immediately knows something is
wrong—especially when she starts experiencing serious physical traumas, despite
the fact that nobody has touched her. As the search commences to find her
sister, the twin left behind must rely on their intense bond to uncover the
truth. But is there anyone around her she can trust, when everyone could be a
suspect? And ultimately, can she even trust herself? Master
storyteller Jessica Warman will keep readers guessing when everything they
see—and everything they are told—suddenly becomes unreliable in this
page-turning literary thriller.
My Thoughts:
Jessica Warman has created an awesome psychological thriller
that was filled with so many twists and turns I don't even know where to begin.
Beautiful Lies is one of those books that when I finished it I had to sit down
and think about everything that is happening, even once the end had came and
went the book still left me with a million unanswered questions, wondering what
parts of the story were what I thought and which were not what the reader
thought. Throughout the book, just when I thought I understood what was going
on Warman would turn around and throw a curveball and everything was changed. I
enjoyed this book and I also didn't enjoy this one. so many times I became
confused with what was going on and following along with the story but, it also
caught my attention and kept me reading until the very last page.
Beautiful Lies tells the story of a pair of identical twins
Alice and Rachel, they aren't your average twins either, when they were in the
womb they shared a placenta and a amniotic sac, it is rare that both of them
even survived. They are both completely different from each other, we have
Alice the smart and responsible one and then there is Rachel the rebellious
one. One night while they are both at the fair, one of the twins mysteriously
disappears and takes the reader on one wild ride of deception, secrets, and
lies. It hard to say too much about this book, without giving all the thrills
away so that is as much as you get to know.
Overall, this book was definitely an interesting read and I
would call it a psychological thriller that was god to read but, confusing with
all its twists and turns. I recommend this book to people who enjoy movies like
the Butterfly Effect, where you think you know the story, but it turns out that
you don't know it all.
Happy Reading!
