Thank you for providing a copy of this book for review however I was unable to open the file for this document unfortunately! Apologies.

I really enjoyed this book. My only criticism would be if like to know more detail of what happened to Jess while she was on The research programme. I would read more by the same author and would recommend it to others.

The Truth About Lies was an interesting book with insight into memory. I wish it had been more sinister, with the organisation behind Jess/Freya being more of a threat.

Jess has Hyperthymesia “a condition which leads people to remember an abnormally large amount of past life experiences in vivid detail.”

I loved that this book had a different angle from the normal psychological thriller. I was intrigued by the condition Hyperthymesia and how it would affect a young girls life.

Jess’s roommate Hanna has killed herself but someone is leaving her messages and it may not be a straightforward suicide.

We find out Jess isn’t who she is supposed to be and when new student Dan appears, Jess tries to keep her distance but their friendship and Jess revealing her past is very touching.

An enjoyable book full of mysteries, just when you think you know where this is heading there is a twist that will keep you guessing until the end.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a

This was deliciously suspenseful and full of action, secrets and lies. Jess is a fantastic character, unique and tormented by her past. Most of the things that the program put her through are only skimmed over, but the effects of them are so obvious in her voice and actions. She's so traumatised and closed off. And she just feels very, very real.

There are so many mysteries here. First in the facts surrounding Hanna's death and how much Jess did or didn't do to encourage her along and second in Jess's history. In the details of the program and in her mum's death. It's so interesting that right from the start Jess knows all the answers, all of them locked away in her memory, or so she thinks.

I have to say, I enjoyed every single second of this book. I loved the characters and the plot. It was just a brilliant book from start to finish.

An interesting book that is very well written told by protagonist who might be telling the truth or going out of her mind. This book kept me reading and I couldn't put it down. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good thrilling read.

Jess roommate has died. It is stated as a suicide, but we start to become unsure of that truth. Jess has a photographic memory. She remembers everything she’s ever experienced. There is good and bad that comes with that. Jess starts to get creepy notes from a stranger which leads her to believe someone is following her and someone knows the truth about her and about what happened to her roommate. Who is following her?

The hidden identity of Jess portrayed in the beginning of the book totally grabbed my attention. She sheds some light on what happened to her family and I needed to know more! Not long after, we are introduced to her love interest Dan. I felt that was super rushed and he was to perfect, but as I kept reading, I enjoyed their relationship more and more. This book is not a romance book, but it adds a nice level to the story. In terms of the story behind her roommates death, I felt that dragged on. I think this story was way more about Jess’ hidden life than it was her roommate. I say that because the novel started out almost completely focused on the mystery of what truly did happen to her roommate. The ending did catch me off guard which I was happy about. I couldn’t predict that coming! It was a bit slow, but enjoyable read. Thank you netgalley and stripes publishing for the read!
