Little White Lies: A Novel of Love and Good Intentions

by Gemma Townley

Random House Publishing Group | February 28, 2006 | Mass Market Paperbound

WHAT'S ONE LITTLE WHITE LIE?

Okay, so it isn't that little. It's kind of a whopper. It's just that when Natalie Raglan ups and quits her job at a Bath advertising firm, breaks up with her loser-ish boyfriend, and moves-to London! Things don't quite turn out the way she planned. Having made the brave move to the Big City, the lifelong country mouse finds that living chic is still a long way off. Even Cressida, the girl who used to rent her tiny flat, still gets more phone calls and mail there than Nat does. Come to think of it, Cressida Langdon's life looks pretty appealing-especially when an invitation to the posh, exclusive Soho House club arrives, addressed to Cressida.

Before she really knows what she's done, Nat has opened Cressida's mail . . . and taken up her life. Soon Nat's dating a gorgeous investment banker named Simon, giving "reiki healing sessions," wearing wonderful clothes, and partying with the A-list at Soho House. But the best part really is Simon. He's everything Nat has ever wanted. The problem is he thinks she's someone else. And as her life and her lies begin to spiral out of control, Nat can't help but wonder: Will she be exposed as a liar and a fake-or be saved from ruin by simply claiming good intentions. . . .

    Lying can get you anywhere

    When I started to read this I found it okay, the story line was predictable.the main character natalie just proves that even though lying to everyone even you best friend in the end can really get you anywhere. Even though that she confessed about every (after everything came out in the open) it just shows that to get where she wanted to go and getting the guy lying got it for her. Overall it was good book, something to past the time with

    I enjoyed the book and there were funny parts, but the ending was unrealistic. Everything got resolved and everyone ended up happy.

    Who could have thought a web of lies could be this good!

    An extremely large tangle of lies and deceit doesn't get any better than this.

    Who would have thought that one lie could lead to another so easily. That telling lies could become so... well... second nature.

    Natalie Raglan sure could. This novel is the interesting story of Natalie Raglan and her move to London. Wanting to spice up her new life a little, Natalie's drunk behaviour leads her an incredible man, Simon Rutherford, and this is where her lies begin.

    Read this story to find out how Natalie... or is it Cressida... nope, definitely Natalie... spins the web of lies and learns to untangle them.
