“Three Little Lies” is a psychological thriller that delivers on suspense and surprises. While the first 30-40% unfolds at a slower pace, it remains engaging, building a solid foundation for the twists to come. Once the first major plot twist hits, the story becomes utterly gripping, keeping you hooked until the end. I was hooked and I couldn’t put it down. I’ve read it within a day!! Packed with numerous twists, this book is a must-read for fans of thrillers. If you enjoy the style of Freida McFadden, you must read this book!!

Thank you Netgalley for this e-arc in exchange for a honest review.

This book was a ride from start to finish. Every time I thought I had it figured out I was thrown for a loop. I loved the build up of a small lie that just snowballs. Jo was so relatable as her feelings and struggles are ones that most wives and parents have. Her yearning for keeping her family together was palpable.

This book was great. Entertaining, wanted to keep reading. I was very surprised by so many of the twists. Just didn't see a lot of them coming. I appreciate the strong mother and how she stands up for her children and herself.

I really liked this book. The characters were well developed. I enjoyed hearing the narrative from the mom’s pov, I thought she was done quite realistically. It hooked me from the beginning and kept me engaged. The best thriller I’ve read in a while! I will definitely be reading some of her other books.

I've read 24% the main character, Jo, the mom is so cringe worthy & dislikable. Nothing has happened except she gets a threatening letter in the mail and her exchange student, Eden, takes her 12 year old daughter Megan to get her ears pierced while they are in the mall. The book feels very YA & cheesey. Not worth my time or interest to continue.

This story grabbed my attention from the very beginning and kept me invested all the way through. It follows a family who takes in an exchange student, but as the plot unfolds, I began noticing small things that didn’t quite add up. Then, an unexpected and devastating event occurs, setting off a cascade of secrets within the Hargrove family.

I really enjoyed the author’s descriptive writing and the authentic portrayal of anxiety throughout the book. The fast-paced storytelling kept me engaged, with never a dull moment.

The twists and turns toward the end genuinely left me mind-blown—completely unexpected and brilliantly executed. The plot was captivating, so much so that I found myself losing sleep just to finish it!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrillers and mysterious reads.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!

How do I write this without giving too much away? I felt it was predictable. I knew who Eden was right away and where this story was going to do. I did not think it was about a foreign exchange student though as I don't think the blurb really matched the story. There were some good twists, and it def held my attention, and the ending was incredible!

Jo begs her husband to let them have a foreign exchange student that has similar food allergies to their son. Once Eden is in their house, Jo starts to notice wedges getting bigger in their family. Then Eden goes missing. What exactly is going on here?

This was so good. I knew from the first couple of chapters I was going to be hooked. Everything I thought was going to happen, didn’t. And then not even the opposite happened - something twisty and unexpected did. It was such a fun read and I devoured it. My first from this author but won’t be the last! Thank you for the arc!!

This book was just okay for me. All the characters were extremely unlikeable and I didn't really care what happened to any of them.

This was my first Danielle Stewart book and definitely won't be my last!!! It grabbed my attention from the very beginning! A housewife, an exchange student, and many secrets!!! It made me feel like I was on a rollercoaster blindfolded, not sure what dip or turn would come next! Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC! I can't wait to read another from this author!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Jo leads the perfect life. A handsome and charming husband and two children Megan and Ashton, who attend a top school. By chance Jo is talked into playing host to Eden, an exchange student. Then everything starts to go wrong. When Eden disappears, the truth nobody wanted to hear is spilled.

This was a good one. The title was catchy and made me want to read. Everett was such a weak man and I had my suspicions about him all along. Jo definitely seemed anxious, but I did like her character. Eden and Megan read as authentic teenagers. I enjoyed the twists in this book. It seemed to be in three parts and I like how each was completely unexpected from the lead up.

This was such an interesting story with characters that are manipulative, hiding secrets and lies that change the trajectory of their lives. The first 40% of this book was good but the last 60% was amazing! I really enjoyed how the story tried throwing off the readers by having multiple characters look like the bad guy by having incriminating evidence about them. Everett’s secret was so shocking but it made so much sense once it was reveled! It was nice to see Jo’s parenting style evolve towards the end of the story.

Minus one star since I personally found it easy to predict who was responsible for Eden’s disappearance.

My favorite characters were Jo and Eden.

My least favorite characters were Everett and Ivy.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for na honest review.

This was the first book I have read by Danielle Stewart but I am willing to give her other books a try after reading this one. This book was suspenseful but I did feel like there was just something missing about it. I enjoyed the twists but they were just delivered with such lackluster that I just was left feeling like it was lacking. All in all it was 3 stars for me.

Great plot with rather irritating characters.
Something a bit different here. We don't find out until the end what Jo is hiding and it isn't anything obvious.
Really enjoyed this drama and i finished it way to quickly.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

I really enjoyed Three Little Lies by Danielle Stewart. Jo and Everett's perfect kids, marriage, family, and life are all put into jeopardy when they welcome an exchange student into their home. This girl's secrets and subsequent disappearance will have readers on the edge of their seats. This is a book you won't want to put down.
