Ariel receives a text from Drew asking her to meet him as soon as possible. There’s just one problem — her former boyfriend has been dead for five years. That text begins her search for the truth behind why Drew vanished, not just for herself but her five year old son too. 

I picked up this book because I enjoy Sarina Bowen’s romance books and wanted to see what her debut thriller would be like. Well, it delivered! 

Like The Last Thing He Told Me, The Five Year Lie is centered around the question of how well do you know the people love? The opening pages drew me in. The surprises throughout the book kept me turning the pages as fast as I could read. The technology angle along with Ariel and Drew’s love story made this story memorable. 

The Five Year Lie is a great book to throw in your vacation bag. This fast-paced entertaining thriller with a touch of romance is the perfect escape read. 

I received an early copy of this book.
