Week 16 Review: The Lies Among Us

From Goodreads:

From the award-winning author of The Shelterlings and The Lake House comes a haunting novel about sisterhood and grief, where difficult truths must contend with the corrosive power of unchecked lies. After her mother dies, Hannah doesn't know how to exist without her. Literally. 

In fact, Hannah's not even certain that she does exist. No one seems to see or hear her, and she finds herself utterly alone. Grief-stricken and confused, her sense of self slowly slipping away, Hannah sets out to find new purpose in life―and answers about who (and what) she really is. Hannah's only remaining family is her older sister, Leah. Yet even Leah doesn't seem to notice her. 

And while Hannah can see and hear her sister, she also sees beautiful and terrible things that don't―or shouldn't―exist. She learns there's much more to this world than meets the eye and struggles to make sense of it all. When Hannah sees Leah taking the same dangerous path that consumed their own mother―where lies supplant reality―she's desperate to get through to her. But facing difficult truths is harder than it looks…

My Review:
I loved reading this book! I love her writing so much and it sounded like a really great read. And it was, I had such a wonderful time consuming this story! I wanted to know what was going on, and watching the truth being uncovered was so great to read!

I had so many questions, mainly about what the truth was, which makes sense in a book with lies in the title. Hannah is dealing with the fact that her mother just passed-and the fact that her sister, it seems, doesn't even see her. So that was a bit question mark for me.

I really enjoyed all these characters, espcailly the mom, who had such an impact on these two. They were complicated, they didn't always make the right choices, but I cold understand why they were doing what they were doing. Reading their story was thrilling! 

When we got answers, when we found out what Hannah was and what was going on, that was brilliant. It was wild and weird and so great to read! I was really content with how the story went, and it was just a delight to read. Sarah Beth Dust just comes out with such excellent story ideas and then does them so well! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Sarah Beth Durst!
