Though Skye seems to have the world at her fingertips—she’s smart, beautiful, and from a well-off family—she’s also battled crippling OCD ever since her mother’s death when she was eleven, and her romantic relationships have suffered as a result.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut now Burke—handsome, older, and more emotionally mature than any man she’s met before—says he wants her. Forever. Except, Burke isn’t who he claims to be. And interspersed letters to his therapist reveal the truth: he’s happily married, and using Skye for his own, deceptive ends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a third perspective, set thirty years earlier, a scrappy seventeen-year-old named Heather is determined to end things with Burke, a local bad boy, and make a better life for herself in New York City. But can her adolescent love stay firmly in her past—or will he find his way into her future?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a collision course she doesn’t see coming, Skye throws herself into wedding planning, as Burke’s scheme grows ever more twisted. But of course, even the best laid plans can go astray. And just when you think you know where this story is going, you’ll discover that there’s more than one way to spin the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eToo Good To Be True\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the \"27 Books To Read In 2021\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e— \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBetches\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of the \"36 of the Most Anticipated Mysteries and Thrillers of 2021\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e— \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoodreads\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLovering, \u003cb\u003ea master of manipulation to rival her own characters\u003c\/b\u003e, does a skillful job of gradually unspooling her \u003cb\u003eintricate tapestry of psychological intrigue \u003c\/b\u003ewhile\u003cb\u003e deftly juggling her multiple narratives.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e— Kirkus (starred review)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This \u003cb\u003efirecracker of a novel\u003c\/b\u003e will leave readers wondering what they would accept for love and how the most perfect of lives may be a facade. \u003cb\u003eA must for book clubs\u003c\/b\u003e.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e— Booklist (starred review)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eA head-spinningly devious plot\u003c\/b\u003e [with] a plethora of twists...psychological thriller fans will keep turning the pages to see what happens next.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e—\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cb\u003eTwists, lies, \u0026amp; cons oh my\u003c\/b\u003e...No spoilers but you’ll be guessing the ending until the last twisty page.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e—The Skimm\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"J\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eust when you think you’ve got it figured out, Lovering will throw another curve ball at you.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBetches\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Covering dual timelines and told from three differing perspectives, \u003cb\u003ethis exceptional psychological thriller is full of twists that will have you wondering which characters to trust and who to root for.\u003c\/b\u003e \" \u003cbr\u003e––\u003ci\u003eBookRiot\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I raced through \u003ci\u003eToo Good To Be True\u003c\/i\u003e, desperate to see what new twist was coming next. \u003cb\u003eGripping, tantalizing, and perfectly paced\u003c\/b\u003e, Carola Lovering somehow makes duplicity sexy––and even understandable. \u003cb\u003eGet ready for a wild, seductive ride\u003c\/b\u003e.”\u003cbr\u003e—Sara Shepard, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “\u003cb\u003eA twisty tale of love, greed, betrayal and revenge\u003c\/b\u003e.
