"Alexandra Inglis is a respected family doctor, trusted by her patients to keep their most intimate secrets. And if sometimes the boundaries between duty and desire blur... well, she's only human.

Jonathan is obsessive, and to get what he wants he will tear Alex's world apart -- threatening not only her career but her marriage and family too. Soon Alex finds she's capable of doing almost anything to keep hold of her perfect life, as it begins to spin dangerously out of her control." --… (mais)

White Lies by Lucy Dawson was one of the few books this year that I finished in one sitting. I first off want to thank Netgalley and all parties involved for my arc this was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. This is one of my first He said She said novel and I loved it so much. WOW just wow at how good this was. I found the Alex and Johnathan chapters very well done and found myself conflicted with who I felt sorry for Her, Him, both or No one. Alexandra Inglis is a respected doctor within her practice and for all that know her. There are ethics and boundaries that have to be in place and each doctor to abide by. Within these pages those boundaries are broken when both Alex and Johnathon cross those lines and she becomes obsessed with him or does he? What I loved most about this story is that you read and yet when you get to the end you hold your kindle and go…. What did I just read???????? I am impressed by every word on the pages of this book and encourage everyone who loves a thriller to pick this up.

Dr. Alexandra Inglis dangerously crosses the line with one of her patients, 17-year-old Jonathan Day. She confesses this to her husband, then making every certainty that she didn’t know he was a patient at the time and that it will never happen again. She is immediately forgiven. But Jonathan has other ideas. This presents a danger that she never could have imagined.

What ensues in this book is the true definition of a psychological thriller! Alex will do anything to keep her family together – anything. This book is definitely designed to be read from cover to cover without taking a break! Who is really telling the truth and what really creates the danger that lurks in White Lies? The ending truly blew my mind! Definitely a must read. ( )

Hooked from the very beginning to the last word. Great story with many unsuspected twists. If you like a good psychological thriller, you will love this book! ( )

Hmmm, three and a half stars? I thoroughly enjoy unreliable narrators. The ending said something that subtly let you infer the truth if you’re paying attention to it, and I must say it elicited an out-loud gasp from me. I was left mulling the story over for a while. Fun read, but not life-changing. ( )

It's all go in suburbia! White Lies is quite the coil of unreliable narrators roiling on a sand dune in a wind storm. I kinda loved that about it. I won't be giving spoilers on this one and have to give points to being surprised about the big reveal at the end. Dr Alex Inglis definitely stands as a reminder that having a one off shag when you're away on a girls' trip is a epically titan bad idea. Having it with a teenager (even unbeknownst) only multiplies that by infinity and I don't even know if there's a word to describe that level of bad. Throw in a list of supporting characters who are all vying simultaneously for Most Self-serving or Most Self-conscious in a media setting and things really threaten to go off the rails entirely. There's some first class awful behavior on display and it was a challenge for me to apportion my sympathies out equally. And I just couldn't look away. There are several nods to current events circulating around sexual harassment and what that means and looks like through the kaleidoscope of media. It's not pretty.

By story's breath taking end, I was equal parts relieved, surprised and sad to see it was over. I promptly popped over to my online book outlet of choice and purchased a copy of another of the author's book's and then over to her website to sign up for her book club. While reading this it reminded me in pace of the programme, Doctor Foster. Not that Alex was channelling Gemma but just the level of adrenaline flowing through the story and the awful voyeuristic feeling that it's going to all come crashing down due to some serious manipulations and no one is going to get out unscathed. So if that's your thing, this may well be too. Definitely recommended.

Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my unbiased review. ( )
