[The Girl Who Lied] by Sue Fortin
3.5 ★
Sometimes the perfect friend tells the perfect lies. Erin and Roisin were once friends until a fatal accident ruined both their lives. Now, Roisin has discovered a secret...one Erin has kept for over a decade...and she’s determined to make Erin pay for her lies. When Roisin suddenly disappears, suspicion soon lands on Erin. She would do anything to protect her family, but just how far is she willing to go when time is running out?A good story and an easy read...and the "secret" is fairly easy to work out. [The Girl Who Lied] was advertised as being a 'physiological mystery" but I found it to be basically a romance novel with some family conflicts. Those conflicts were enough to keep me reading but I found the ending rather disappointing since I had already sorted out what the "secret" was. Actually the entire revenge thing on Roisin part was more of a teenage misunderstanding and her jumping to conclusions by not having all the facts. I had to give it the extra half star because Ms. Fortin did give us a cleverly written book with some really human characters.
