Little White Lies Erin Lawless 9781482572889 Books

This book really resonated with me and kept me interested throughout the whole novel. The story is about university life in the London suburbs and the intertwining lives of 7 friends. Since there are so many characters in the book it took a little while to get to know them.

This book is split into 3 parts. The first part was the introduction to the characters and jumps around time a bit which can be a bit confusing, but it's necessary. I did have to stop once or twice during that section to skim back through it to remind myself who everyone was.

By the 2nd part I was totally hooked and knew exactly who everyone was. I loved the 2nd and 3rd sections and really didn't want this book to end. I think the characters had enough problems to make them believeable but not enough to make it too far fetched.

There are quite a few parallels to my own life which I really enjoyed.

I am giving this book 5 stars since it had all the elements that I have enjoyed reading about over the last few months and it kept me hooked and wanting to read more throughout most of the book.

Little White Lies Erin Lawless 9781482572889 Books Reviews

Little White Lies is a wonderful novel about the joy of friendship and the overwhelming sadness when that long friendship is destroyed. The book opens with a wedding between Miles and Nicky. It should be a happy reunion for Leigha, Sukie, Harriet, Johnny, and Adam. They were all friends in college...not any more. Harriet and Adam were a couple, but they parted ways badly. Will the wedding bring closure and a possibility of a second chance at love? You need to read it to find out! The author did a great job of giving us an in-depth look at the characters by writing chapters from their perspective. I felt like I was a part of this tightknit group of friends. I even felt sympathy for "mean girl," Leigha. When a writer can make you feel sorry for the antagaonist in the novel, he or she has great talent. I am hoping Erin Lawless will write a sequel later to let us see how Miles, Nicky, Leigha, Sukie, Harriet, Johnny, and Adam are doing. I would like to catch up with them again. Great job, Erin!
Little White Lies by Erin Lawless follows the lives of 7 individuals throughout their time in college and through early adulthood. The book begins in 2012 and goes back and forth to 2006 which at times was confusing. It was also quite annoying and a tad boring at the beginning to keep track of who was who and their particular storyline but as I kept reading it all became clearer and it became more intriguing.

As with real life, when you are dealing with people whose lives are so intertwined with each others there is sure to be drama, heartache, pain, and misunderstandings and there are definitely some in Little White Lies. I will admit that I felt a connection with this book since I have been to London so I knew some of the places that were discussed and with the phrases used and the spelling that the author used. They are flatmates, they are romantically involved, at times they are frenemies, but most of all they are people that at times allow those pesky little white lies interfere with their friendship.

DISCLAIMER I received a complimentary copy of Little Whites Lies from the author in exchange for an honest review.
After finishing this book I had one immediate thought; this is 'Cold Feet The College years.' (Any James Nesbitt fans amongst us? No? OK, moving on!)

This book detailed the lives of seven friends (mostly frenemies) navigating their way through University, Life and Love. The book begins in the present day with a brief glimpse into the lives of the characters and then entwines with flashbacks of student days from 2006. I must admit when I first started reading this book there were a lot of people to remember and the time jumps could be quite sudden and often. I felt the first few pages almost read like a screenplay. A very good one at that and I could picture in my head each time the camera would cut to another short scene.

The bulk of the book takes place during 2006 and I was glued to this part as this is where the crux of the story lies. I was engrossed whilst reading and enjoyed the journey of these students. Without giving away too much I will say a bit about each character.

Nicky - Nicky was a sweet girl with a promising career and in a relationship with the love of her life. I loved Nicky and Miles as a couple. In the present day it is Nicky's wedding and her journey is believable and I liked that she came up against some last minute obstacles before the wedding as it does happen in real life. At least this time she had her friends by her side.

Miles - I picture grown up Miles like a professor in a v-neck knitted tank top and checked shirt lol. I think because he came across as reliable and supportive. It did seem as if he made no sacrifices in regards to his relationship with Nicky. Although I feel he was lucky enough to have a partner like her as she was willing to give up a lot for him. At the end of the story he proved his love by doing this for her in return.

Sukie - Sukie Sukie Sukie, the little Japanese power house! Every book wouldn't be complete without the crazy outspoken friend and this was Sukie. I loved the unpredictability of her. I maybe didn't agree with her choice when it came to picking sides and her actions against some of her friends but I still liked her character. Even though she had been through a lot in her life and found herself on a path she didn't want or ask for, she was still able to retain her spark and for that I loved her.

Johnny - Oh Johnny boy. Sweet naive Johnny. If I met this man in person I would hit him upside the head and say "Dude, she's just not that into you!" This poor boy spent years pining after a girl and then when she finally threw him a bone, he knew he was being used but went along with it anyway. I'm sure this has happened to us at some point (awkward teenage crush anyone?) This boy only wanted to be loved and that is probably the reason why my heart went out to him. In the end realisation dawns on Johnny and he does come to his senses, hopefully it's not too late for him.

Harriet - I loved Harriet. Maybe I am a sucker for the underdog but I was rooting for this girl. Harriet's plan was to enjoy university life, have adventures with her girlfriends and graduate. Falling in love wasn't on the agenda especially with Adam. It goes to show some things in life happen out with our control. I wanted Harriet to be stronger as a person. I wanted her to stand up to her friends and take what she wanted just this once. But she didn't and instead broke a boy's heart as well as her own.

Adam - Adam the stud with all the girls fighting over him ) Adam was really likeable, he had a good heart and always wanted to do the right thing for Harriet. It is not often in a book that it is the guy trying to convince the girl to be open as a couple and come out from hiding. The night of Adam's 21st birthday nearly killed me. What a guy! *sob* I loved present day Adam too. He still remained true to himself and I am glad for second chances.

Leigha - I saved the best or worst for last depending on how you see it. I didn't really get Leigha's deal. Was she hard done to or spoiled as a child? This girl had a chip on her shoulder and thought the world owed her a favour. She altered a lot of her 'friends' lives and alienated a few by mistreating them and purposely lying to them. I really wanted Harriet to slap her (at more than one point) and say 'get over it bitch!' Yes this book elicited some fierce emotions from me ) I once had a friend like Leigha and for some unknown reason you let that friend get away with more than they should even though you may be sacrificing your own desires. This is what Harriet done for Leigha but as they always say 'what goes around comes around.'

Little White Lies contained angst, drama and love without the steamy sex scenes we see so often just now. Don't get me wrong I love to read about a hot naked man as much as the next fangirl but in this book it would have been out of place. I felt the love, passion and desperate need between Adam and Harriet without these scenes.

What I love most about this book is the reality of it. There is something that everyone can relate to. Major life events take place; university, moving out, moving on, finding love, losing love, best friends forever and best friends never.

I also loved the fact that it was set in England and I could relate to 'Boots' and 'Vk's' for a change (as I have overdosed on American books a lot lately).

This book was packed with unique characters and lots of drama! Besides the content it was the authors enchanting prose that kept me hooked. It was so well written. From the first page I knew it was going to flow well.

Definitely a great début novel by Erin Lawless. ~Ava
