Picture Perfect Lies By Mia Hayes

If you can't be you, who can you be?

That's the question Veronica White asks herself in the wake of her husband's very public affair. For years, she's been known as the prettiest member of the Bitch Brigade and Pete's wife, and she has used social media to present her messy life as picture perfect.

But those days are over.

Leaving her Waterford life behind, Veronica lands in Marrakech, Morocco. There, she plans to regroup and convince everyone she's having the time of her life without Pete. First step: post endless fun pictures on Instagram. She believes that if she can convince others she's okay, then maybe the pain will cease.

Enter Oz, an engaging young man who is traveling the world and chasing the endless summer. He regales Veronica with stories of his adventures, and intrigued, she throws caution to the wind and joins him on a trip to the Sahara Desert. Soon, Veronica finds herself following Oz to Croatia and France, where she tries reinventing herself.

As she grows closer to Oz, Veronica realizes she may not be the only one who's playing a manipulation game, and that sometimes what we want to see gets in the way of reality.

My Thoughts...
I was so happy to go back to Waterford. This book was a fun read, it was just as good as book one in the Waterford series. It can be read as a stand alone you will not be lost. But read book one The Secrets We Keep you won't be sorry.
I had the best time traveling with Vee and the surprise in the end was so worth reading this book.
A good summer 4 star read that I recommend.

The Secrets we Keep By Mia Hayes

Sometimes, the people who seem the happiest have the most to hide.

But it's imperative Elizabeth put on a brave face. So when she's not going to Costco or day drinking with her best friend, she's trying to create a new, drama-free life in the suburbs.

And it seems to work - until an anonymous gossip blog begins spilling the women of Waterford's darkest secrets.

Now, the blurred conversations and blank spots in Elizabeth's mind give way to panic and anxiety. If her secrets - like a hospitalization for bipolar disorder and a suicide attempt - don't stay buried, she faces social shunning.

Because after all, life in Waterford must look Instagram perfect at all times.

With her mental health in tatters and her marriage on the brink of imploding, Elizabeth fights to protect her family, her reputation, and her sanity.

A delicious mix of gossip and darker narrative, The Secrets We Keep is a brilliant look at life in the social media age, friendship, and the stigma of mental illness.

Fans of Liane Moriarty, Lauren Weisberger, and Emily Giffin will love this twisty, heartbreaking novel.

My Thoughts...

Are you a fan of reality TV? Do you watch all the housewives? If you answered yes then you must read this book it's full of gossip, day drinking, money over the top. Affairs and mental illness. Friends stabbing each other in the back. You don't want to see it come to an end.
I gave this book 4 stars and I recommend it to all my reality TV fans.
