Our Wicked Lies by Gledé Browne Kabongo – Review by Felicia Bates

Our Wicked Lies by Glede Browne Kabongo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Our Wicked Lies is the first book I have read by Glede Browne Kabongo and it will not be my last. My genre of choice is always a good psychological or domestic thriller and I was really intrigued by the synopsis of Our Wicked Lies. It is honestly hard for me to verbalize how I feel about this novel. I feel as though it was slow to start and took a while to really pick up but simultaneously I didn’t want to put it down either. The writing was really strong, and even though I had a hard time connecting with some of the characters (especially Alicia) they were really realistic and to many, probably really relatable. Throughout the beginning half of the book I found myself wondering if I had missed something a time or two, but honestly it helped build up the suspense. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and this author’s style of writing and she evoked emotion when I was reading whether it be empathy or even frustration. I would give the book 4 stars and as mentioned before, definitely will keep an eye out and read more from this author.
