Count My Lies

Count My Lies by Sophie Stava

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK “The very definition of a page-turner! This smart, original, twisty story had me gripped from the first to the last page.” —Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author A read-in-one-night suspense thriller narrated by a compulsive liar whose little white lies allow her to enter into the life and comfort of a wealthy married couple who are harboring much darker secrets themselves.

For the millions of us still chasing those gone girls, this is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley, and Laura Dave. Sloane Caraway is a liar. Harmless lies, mostly, to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting. So when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can’t help herself—she tells the girl’s (very attractive) dad she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl’s foot. With this lie, and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy, and privileged household of Jay and Violet Lockhart. The perfect New York couple with the brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island.

But maybe Sloan isn’t the only one lying, and all that picture perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth. To say anything more is to spoil the exciting, twisty, and bitingly smart suspense novel to come out in years.
