She thought it was love. Then he vanished.
On an ordinary Monday morning, Ariel Cafferty's phone buzzes with a disturbing text message. Something’s happened. I need to see you. Meet me under the candelabra tree ASAP. The words would be jarring from anyone, but the sender is the only man she ever loved. And it's been several years since she learned he died.
Seeing Drew’s name pop up is heart-stopping. Ariel’s gut says it can’t be real. But she goes to the tree anyway. She has to.
Nobody shows. But the text upends everything she thought she knew about the day he left her. The more questions she asks, the more sinister the answers get. Only two things are clear: everything she was told five years ago is wrong, and someone is still lying to her.
The truth has to be out there somewhere. To safeguard herself—and her son—she’ll have to find it before it finds her. And with it, the answer to what became of Drew.
The Five Year Lie was a pleasant surprise. In it, the father of Ariel's son disappeared 5 years before. Right around the time of the death of her father occurred. One day she gets a text from him to meet up. This sets off a quest to figure out what really happened five years earlier.
I initially thought I had it all figured out as there is one part of the reveal that is pretty obvious. But there was a twist that I didn't see coming. It ended up being something completely different than what I thought it would be. I loved Ariel's character. From flashbacks, you can really see growth she went through to get to where she was in the present day. I liked that she didn't give up in trying to figure out what happened to Drew. I won't spoil the book for you. Instead I will definitely recommend it to you.
