Publisher Description
What if you got a text from the love of your life... five years after he died?
On an ordinary Monday morning, Ariel's phone buzzes with a text: Something's happened. I need to see you. Meet me under the candelabra tree ASAP.
Her heat skips a beat. The message is from Drew, the only guy she's ever loved. The father of her child. The man who up and left five years ago without a word. The man who died shortly after in a motorcycle accident.
The text upends everything she knew about the day he vanished. Only two things are clear: everything she was told back then is a lie, and someone is still deceiving her today.
The truth is out there, and Ariel will do anything to find it. But she has no idea that if it finds her first, she and her four-year-old son will be in terrible danger.
For fans of The Housemaid, It Ends With Us and The Last Thing He Told Me, and with a heart-stopping romance that only Sarina Bowen can execute, The Five Year Lie is a page-turning, spine-tingling thriller that will have you guessing until the very end.

The Five Year Lie
The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen
Ariel receives a text from her boyfriend who died five years ago which leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew - about her life and her family. With the help of her friends, she starts an investigation of her own, looking into the happenings of her family business - a security company which is deeply seated in questionable activities.
I found the book a little slow to begin with, but once I started getting into it, it became one that I could not put down. Ariel was fiercely determined to find answers while still protecting herself and more importantly, her son, Buzz. There was a bit of past and present which was easy enough to follow. Overall, this was a great book - definitely different from Bowen’s usual style of writing but one I’m hoping she’ll continue to pen.
