A Merry Little Lie is the story of a group of women coming together for Christmas. First, there's Becky, she's nervous about coming home because she thinks she made a fool of herself at her twin sister's recent wedding. She's barely spoken to her since the wedding and how is she going to make it through the holidays without making a fool of herself. Rosie, the other twin, is newly married to Declan. They only just got married and they've already hit a rough patch. How will they keep up the charade that their marriage is perfect for days in front of her parents and grandparents scrutiny.
Also, the twins brother, James, has an announcement to make this holiday and he said to plan a party and have champagne ready. He must be engaged they all think. He's bringing his new girlfriend Hailey home for the holiday. Then there's Jennifer their mother. She's been trying so hard to make this the most perfect Christmas for everyone but especially for Hailey, as she grew up in an orphanage and never had a real Christmas before. She's also worried about everyone including her newly retired husband.
A Merry Little Lie is probably my favourite Christmas book I've read so far this year. I could not put this book down. There was so much going on that I was constantly wanting to know how this was all going to unravel. This is not a predictable Hallmark story. I've only read one other Sarah Morgan book but I have a couple others on my shelf and I think I'll have to check out more because I really enjoyed this story.
