<h6><strong>Everyone knows Lily Atwood―and that may be her biggest problem. The beloved television reporter has it all―fame, fortune, Emmys, an adorable seven-year-old daughter, and the hashtag her loving fans created: #PerfectLily. To keep it, all she has to do is protect one life-changing secret.</strong></h6>
<p><strong>Her own.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lily has an anonymous source who feeds her story tips―but suddenly, the source begins telling Lily inside information about her own life. How does he―or she―know the truth?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lily understands that no one reveals a secret unless they have a reason. Now she&#8217;s terrified someone is determined to destroy her world―and with it, everyone and everything she holds dear.</strong></p>
<p><strong>How much will she risk to keep her perfect life? And what if the spotlight is the most dangerous place of all?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>HER PERFECT LIFE</strong> by USA Bestselling Author Hank Phillippi Ryan is her latest domestic thriller. I enjoyed this book much more than I did <strong>THE FIRST ONE TO LIE, </strong>and it was worth the two months wait at my library to get it.</p>
<p>Hank Phillippi Ryan is a master at creating unreliable narrators and telling the story from more than one point of view so that we see what&#8217;s happening in real time but with the added benefit of being &#8220;in the know&#8221; of more than one character. I felt sorry for the secondary character of Greer, Lily&#8217;s over-worked and ignored producer, who rang truest as a &#8220;real&#8221; person out of all of the characters in the book.</p>
<p>Greer has no life outside of making Lily look perfect, coming up with their next big story, and keeping her secrets. While the above back cover blurb is so vague I wouldn&#8217;t have picked up the book if it wasn&#8217;t by Hank, the secrets are not as life-changing as they are tragic.</p>
<p>The best part of the book was that I didn&#8217;t figure out the villain until a few paragraphs before the reveal, and that&#8217;s all I ask of my domestic thrillers. Keep me reading, keep me interested, and keep me guessing! I was hoping for a better resolution to the story because I didn&#8217;t feel it was entirely realistic, so for that I give it <strong>4 Stars</strong>.</p>
