That was not something I was expecting at all in this setting and I was so wrong. I was expecting a lot of bitchy and backstabbing girls but it turns out Little White Lies features some amazing female friendships. Those timelines were very much in sync and it gave the story a little something extra. I loved the little looks at the current time line and the connections you can make to the rest of the story at that moment. The narrative goes back and forth between the current time and flashbacks to everything leading up to this moment.
However, all isn’t resolved as easily as it seems and that is nice in a mystery. After a while I had some guesses about one of the mysteries and the reveal wasn’t as wonderful as the Naturals plot twists. When going in to the story there seems to be 1 mystery (as you can gather from the synopsis) but it turns out there are actually two mysteries. It takes a little while to find out what the book is about precisely. It is a very quick read, as you just want to keep on going and going. I really enjoyed reading about the debutante world and Sawyer’s discovery of this life was great to follow.
You can clearly see the parallels between these two wonderful shows and this book. I highly enjoyed this novel! It is exactly what it is promoted to be, a cross between Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl. All in all a bit of a forgettable but still pretty cover. The flowers look nice and fit the theme quite well. I love the colors used and think the lettering is very well done.
This cover isn’t super pretty or special or anything but I do like it. Sawyer has her own reasons to agree to this, for example finding out who knocked up her mother when she was only 17. When her mom is off with a new boyfriend again, her grandmother shows up and offers her a six figure contract to participate in debutante season. Sawyer Taft lives together with her mom, and mostly takes care of her as well. My audiobook subscription service had this one available the day it released, so I started listening to Little White Lies immediately. The moment I learned a new Jennifer Lynn Barnes book was being published this year, I knew I had to read it right away! I absolutely love Jennifer’s books and the synopsis for this one sounded wonderful.
