The author is Sophia Stava and her debut book is Count My Lies.
Sloan Caraway lies. To herself, to her friends, to her customers, to strangers and to herself. She is the focus of the first part of the book. She’s wonderfully drawn. A little bit of me felt sorry for her in the beginning. But she’s so manipulative. A chance encounter in the park gives her a little wedge to worm her way into the Lockhart family.
Violet Lockhart opens the door even wider. I wanted to shake her and shout that this woman is lying to you. But, I don’t want to spoil this book for you, so I’m going to leave things right there. But, there’s a third part as well…
You might think that some of the situations are far-fetched. And one or two might be, but just go with the flow. I really appreciated and enjoyed Stave's plotting. A strong debut and I would pick up Stava's next book.
I've said it many times - some books are better for me in an audio book format. This was true with Count my Lies. There were three narrators - Andrew Eiden, Devon Sorvari and Emily Tremaine. They all did a great job in creating a voice that matched their character. They were believable. All spoke clearly and enunciated well. They captured the tone of Stava's work. And I felt like I was listening at the door... Hear for yourself - listen to an audio excerpt.
