Jo and Everett Hargrove are parents to Megan, 12 and Ashton, 7. Everett has a good job in a tech company and Jo is able to stay home with their children. As Ashton has serious food allergies, Jo tends to be extremely careful with food preparation and what he eats. She may be accused of being a helicopter parent, but she has strict rules for the children.

The children attend Windsor Knoll School, a very prestigious place with high tuition rates. At the school one day, a friend approaches Jo and asks that she host an exchange student from England for 6 weeks. A bit hesitant, she finally agrees. Eden, 17 arrives and Jo does her best to introduce her to the school and see that she has an enjoyable time. Since Megan has been acting like an irritable budding teenager lately, she hopes Eden will be a good influence on her. However, they have some difficult times with her and Jo is actually looking forward to the girl returning home.

One night, Jo has left her children in Eden’s care as she heads out to meet Everett for dinner. Arriving late, he says he needs to tell her something. Jo worries that he is seeing another woman. That’s when her phone rings and it’s Megan saying Eden went for a walk and it’s been a couple of hours and she hasn’t returned. Trying her cell phone gets nothing. Hurrying home, the place is surrounded by police and Everett ends up getting arrested. What’s going on here?

Oh my goodness! What a story this author has penned. It had me totally glued to the book and I couldn’t believe all of the things that were happening. Such a compelling novel this is. Don’t miss it!

Another great Bookouture read that had me on the edge of my seat! I couldn’t wait to find out what secrets Everett was hiding & what’s up with Eden, their foreign exchange student. In it, I found a domestic thriller that kept me racing through the pages.

Thank you, Danielle Stewart, Bookouture, & netgalley for my early gifted copy! All opinions are my own.

Three Little Lies by Danielle Stewart was an excellent book from start to finish with great twists and turns and I loved it! especially as it was well written with great strong characters, that were interesting. This was a book once I started to read it I ended up reading it all day. Absolutely brilliant!

I highly recommend Three Little Lies great holiday read.

Big Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

The book description doesn’t do this book justice! I feel like it should have mentioned the exchange student, Eden. The date night isn’t until about 30% in. However, the characters were well written… I empathized with Jo, the mother, so much! She was overbearing but meant well. Fans of psychological thrillers will enjoy trying to figure out the twist! I enjoyed this twisty book and could not put it down!

Thank you Bookouture for the arc!

3.5⭐️

This was an entertaining thriller with several twists. I enjoyed the short chapters and that it was an easy read. The first half of this book was a little slow for me but there was enough mystery to keep me hooked, though the ending felt a little rushed after such a big buildup. I don’t know, I have mixed feelings about this book. I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I always look forward to this author books they have good plots.
From the beginning as they build to the end.
I recommend this book was well done.
I received arc from Net Galley and Bookouture

Jo and Everett have a life that other people can only wish for. A great home and 2 kids with no worries about money and how they spend it . That was until she agrees to take a teenager into their home for a few weeks. She soon begins to regret it.
Couldn't put this book down it was that good, highly recommend.

Three Little Lies by Danielle Stewart is my third book by this author and I really enjoyed it.
Well-written, strong characterizations and an equally strong story makes this latest book by Danielle Stewart is a thoroughly compelling read.
This one kept my interest throughout and I truly could not wait to find out what happened.
The characters were well developed. It's filled with mystery, intrigue and surprising twist.

I always think I can figure out what the endings are going to be in books like this, and sometimes I do. But with Three Little Lies, that was not the case. This book had so many twists and turns that I was not expecting that I was surprised the whole time. Once I really got into the book, I didn’t want to put it down. It did kind of start off slow, but once it picked up, it really picked up and captured my attention.
Jo is your average overbearing helicopter parent, who has a husband who goes away on business just a little bit too often. Jo convinces her husband that they should allow this exchange student into their home because she has no one else who will accept her, and she thinks this will help with the strained relationship with her daughter. Well, that’s not the case at all.

This is a must read honestly, I could not put it down!

This book literally blew my mind!!! The gripping, unputdownable psychological thriller that will make your head spin with the amount of twist and truns.

Jo is an over protective mom who wants to control everything in her kids life when she has a husband who is constantly out for work. It seems fitting that being a stay at home mom to a pre teen Meghan and a severly allergic Ashton she is petrified that something bad will happen to her kids amd constantly moniters every second of their lives.

What seems an understandable excuse soon turns out to be something when she welcomes a teenage girl Eden in her home throught the student exchange program. Having the same allergies as Ashton, Jo welcomed the girl in the hopes to find a middle ground with both her kids and their detiorating relationship, until one day she goes missing.

This book has clearly messed with my Brain the amount of times I had to guess the culprit just to realize im wrong and come up with a new twist in the story which will leave you to guess ' Do you even know anyone for real?'

With the real and raw characters whom you'll connect to in an instance, the story line is an instant attention gripping and the ending that will leave you truly satisfied. This book is NOT to be missed.

Toodles 💕

Welcome to the Hargrove family. Picture perfect from the outside- hard working traveling Dad, stay at home dedicated to her children mom, 2 kids living in the lap of luxury with the nicest private schools, designer clothes and accessories, gigantic house etc. Convinced to open their home, they welcome a foreign exchange student who brings a whole lot more baggage than just her suitcases… How those 6 weeks play out will have lasting effects on everyone!

I really enjoyed the variety of characters in this story, and how they all felt relevant/necessary for the plot but still were well developed and interesting independently. The play on family dynamics throughout was compelling and the added bonus of the MC's character arc was nice! Particularly since the first few chapters left me thinking she would be irritating for the entire story. I felt like the pacing in the beginning of the story was a bit slow, and some of the dialogue was somewhat awkward at times. However, the plot was quicker during the second half of the story and I was much more compelled to keep reading. Once the pace was quicker, it was very entertaining to see if the twists were ones I was able to see coming or if my predictions were off base.

Three little lies review
5/5⭐️

Holy Molyyyyyyy, this book got me. It reeled me and left my heart bursting at the seams. Never did I think a thriller would leave me feeling the way I do.

Jo, the over baring, helicopter parent but does it out of the love and care for her children. The mum guilt and anxiety I could totally relate too, by the end of the book I loved her!

Megan and eden, bad ass young women. Treated as just little naive kids but being some of the strongest characters.

This book had me feeling every emotion, and the plot! It was an absolute bomb dropped with several more to follow. Absolutely loved this book!

Three Little Lies had a strong premise that immediately drew me in—secrets unraveling, a marriage on the edge, and a nightmare unfolding in what was supposed to be a perfect home. The pacing kept me engaged, and the mystery had enough twists to hold my attention. There were moments where I could see the pieces coming together, but the tension and unpredictability made the journey worthwhile.

Jo, as a main character, frustrated me for most of the book. Her severe anxiety and overprotectiveness made her act irrationally at times, adding chaos to already intense situations. That said, by the end, she does redeem herself, and I appreciated her growth as she acknowledged her mistakes and took steps toward change. Seeing how things played out made me appreciate her character arc more, even if she tested my patience along the way.

Overall, this book delivers on suspense, family drama, and psychological tension. Readers who enjoy domestic thrillers with layered secrets and emotionally driven characters will likely find it engaging. While Jo’s character was difficult to connect with at times, the resolution made her journey feel more worthwhile.

This book was an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) from NetGalley, and this review is being provided voluntarily.

Jo is the ultimate helicopter mom over her two kids, but she is noticing a growing distance between her daughter Megan and herself. Convinced that it might help, Jo welcomes an exchange student from England to stay with them (Eden). But Jo starts to feel like having Eden there may not be the great opportunity that she thought. To make things worse, Jo feels like her husband Everett has been hiding something from her. Just before they can discuss, Eden goes missing, and Everett is arrested in connection with her disappearance. From there, the lies start to come out.

I was thoroughly entertained by this thriller. There were so many twists and turns along the way that I did not see coming. This book is everything that I look forward to in these types of stories. Once I was about 75% of the way done, it was very hard for me to put the book down. I would hands down recommend both this book and author to anyone looking for a good thriller.

Thank you Bookouture, NetGalley, and Danielle Stewart for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Whew, there are some twisted people in this book!
I thought Jo was super controlling and quite annoying with all of her restrictions. I would’ve rebelled too.
I knew Everett was hiding something but it wasn’t until deep in the plot I figured it out.
I thought Eden was sneaky and up to no good.
The only person who wasn’t hiding anything was Ashton.
Jo will stop at nothing to give her children everything, but at what cost?

Thank you for allowing me to read this ahead of release. This had me hooked from the start!! The tension was perfect, I couldn’t guess what was coming. Great read and look forward to more from Danielle

Danielle Stewart, why have I not found you sooner?! Three Little Lies had me on the edge of my seat the WHOLE TIME!! I always thought I knew what was about to happen, then I was always extremely surprised and caught off guard. The development for each and every character (especially Jo) was so well written and so insanely interesting to watch. If you love mysteries, I highly highly recommend!! So many emotions all over the place - I couldn’t put this book down!

Special thank you to Bookoture and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

2⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy of Three Little Lies.

Jo has cultivated her perfect life with her husband Everett and children Megan and Ashton. She is asked to house an exchange student named Eden and she agrees. At first things are going well but then Eden disappears. Her family is looked at as suspects but she will do whatever is necessary to keep her family.

This book was very predictable. I was able to figure out the big plot twist pretty early on. I was not really a fan of any of the characters. This was kind of a boring thriller in my opinion.

Three Little Lies embarks you on an exhilarating journey to uncover the three little lies, and what a wild ride it is! This captivating tale follows Jo, whose entire world is turned upside down. When she is approached to host a foreign exchange student for six weeks, little does she know she’s about to be swept away on the adventure of a lifetime. As her experience with the exchange student spirals off the rails, I found myself gasping aloud in shock multiple times. I was utterly captivated, never knowing where the story would lead next, yet savoring every thrilling moment. I devoured this book in a single day, unable to tear myself away from the tantalizing twists! This was my first encounter with Danielle Stewart’s writing, and I cannot wait to dive into more of her works. This book undoubtedly deserves a resounding 5 stars!

Wow!! This was one of those books that really had me hooked from the beginning and that feeling never stopped 🙌🏻
I was OBSESSED with every part of this story. All the details of the characters and Jo’s anxiety were perfect!
So many questions and I love that you get ALL the answers in the end!

An amazing mystery/thriller with huge plot twists I never saw coming 🤯
