In this current age of social media, it is easy to project a perfectly curated image of your life to the world. Such is the case for award-winning journalist Lily Atwood, who despite maintaining her #PerfectLily image, is in truth hiding some terribly dark secrets … one being that her sister disappeared away at college some 20 years ago, and has never been heard from since, presumed dead.
Another of Lily’s dark secrets is that the leads for her groundbreaking stories come from an anonymous source - a man who is feeding her tips on where the action is happening, prompting Lily to investigate. Things take an unsettling turn, however, when Lily’s source starts revealing details about Lily’s own life. Could her mysterious source have the clues to what happened to Lily’s sister so long ago?
Hank Phillippi Ryan’s Her Perfect Life is a finely crafted, multi-layered tale of suspense. Ryan has woven a smart tale of sisterly devotion full of twists and turns. Readers beware - it’s difficult to tell just who you can trust in this compelling page turner.
