Lisa Jewell

Laurie's take

Here's what nobody tells you about Lisa Jewell: the twist isn't really the point. The point is the family that hid it. Her books (Then She Was Gone, The Family Upstairs, None of This Is True) are about the quiet, polite ways people bend the truth to keep a house standing. If you've ever sat at a holiday dinner sensing that everyone knew something but you, you'll get her right away. Start with Then She Was Gone. Clear your evening first, because you won't stop at a "reasonable" bedtime.
