Beautiful Lies - Lisa Unger

If Ridley Jones had slept ten minutes later or had taken the subway instead of waiting
for a cab, she would still be living the beautiful lie she used to call her life.
She would still be the privileged daughter of a doting father and a loving mother.
Her life would still be perfect-with only the tiny cracks of an angry junkie for
a brother and a charming drunk with shady underworld connections for an uncle to
mar the otherwise flawless whole.

But that's not what happened. Instead, those
inconsequential decisions lead her to perform a good deed that puts her in the right
place at the right time to unleash a chain of events that brings a mysterious package
to her door-a package which informs her that her entire world is a lie.

Suddenly
forced to question everything she knows about herself and her family, Ridley wanders
into dark territory she never knew existed, where everyone in her life seems like
a stranger. She has no idea who's on her side and who has something to hide-even,
and maybe especially, her new lover, Jake, who appears to have secrets of his own.

Sexy and fast-paced, Beautiful Lies is a true literary thriller with one of the
freshest voices and heroines to arrive in years. Lisa Unger takes us on a breathtaking
ride in which every choice Ridley makes creates a whirlwind of consequences that
are impossible to imagine . . . .
