Synopsis

Will, a recovering heroin addict-turned-counselor for whom truth is a championed element to recovery, has a dark secret—shared with no one outside of his anonymous AA meetings.Over twenty years ago, after an ultimatum from his pregnant ex-wife, Will was forced to assume a new identity and to fake his own death to get out from under his dealer and user-friends once and for all.Now Will is counseling Thea, a young woman who has been diagnosed with a pathological addiction to creating fake social-media identities and who founded a start-up company, Alibis, that created false internet identities for clients, many with suspect pasts. Thea’s addiction has landed her in rehab as a condition of her parole—after a plea bargain cut short a court case that would have put both Thea and Alibis on trial for a very high-profile crime.As Will works with Thea, the truth is put into motion on a collision course. Both Will’s secrets and his young client’s start to unravel—and reveal, at long last, the truth about Thea.

Goodreads review by Amy on October 24, 2017

This will be one hell of a tricky review to write, there is SO much I wish I could say but it would all be one gigantic spoiler and y’all know I don’t do that. Whatever you think this book will be about based on the description doesn’t even come close to what it’s actually about, it goes in many une......more

Goodreads review by Sue on July 06, 2017

I really can't tell you anything about this book because anything I say could be a spoiler - or maybe not! This is a wonderful book full of twists and turns and major surprises.

Goodreads review by Jamie Rosenblit on October 18, 2017

Fresh, twisty and gripping. I had been eagerly awaiting this book since I stumbled upon the “pre-order” page on Amazon a few months back. Often, I find the books I am so excited for to end up being disappointing. I’m happy to report this was certainly not the case with The Truth About Thea. Looking......more

Quotes

“Clever, mind-bending and darkly original…Fast-paced and twisty, the unexpected ending will have you gasping for air. “ Heather Gudenkauf, author of One Breath Away

“Impellizzeri unleashes a tangled skein of half-truths and lies that unravels with each chapter. Perspectives alternate between that of almost sociopathic Thea and others who are trying to discover Thea’s truth. This satisfying story will keep readers guessing until the end.” Booklist

“[An] up-all-night thriller…A perfectly compelling read all the way to the shocking end.” Kimberly Belle, author of The Marriage Lie
