One in his hand. 

One in hers.

His truth. Her truth. And the actual truth.

In this web of lies, only one person can be telling the truth, can’t they?

MY THOUGHTS:

Beth’s father has passed away, and she’s furious that her fiancé, Joe, wasn’t there to comfort her. With his pressing business commitments, he still can’t come home to her. Beth finds solace in a bottle, and this is where the story begins in the first chapter.

However, the eye-opening prologue actually sets the stage for this thrilling tale of lies and deception. Joe and Beth lie there, each on the brink of death, seemingly at the hands of the other. Which story is true? Beth’s dependence on alcohol or that riveting opening scene in the prologue? Noelle Holten masterfully guides readers to the consequences of both situations.

Meanwhile, Joe and Beth’s household is crumbling. They were engaged, but their relationship spiraled out of control. Lies from both sides expose the extent of their disconnection. As the saying goes, there are three sides to every story: your side, my side, and the truth. In this twisty novel, whose truth will we believe?

Beth and Joe are a couple with hidden truths, and neither is alone in their struggles. As the adage goes, “write what you know,” and Holten’s brilliant writing is a testament to this principle. She skillfully weaves a fictional narrative that captivates readers, drawing them into her world and refusing to let go until the very end. That final twist had my head spinning. 

Many thanks to One More Chapter and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
