Too Good To Be True

From one of India's most-loved creators comes something new to fall in love with.

Avani's favourite thing to do is bury her nose in romance novels, but, honestly, life can't be trusted to make the stories real, right?

But in the bookstore where she works, a man walks in, straight out of the pages of her favourite love stories. Aman is hot, successful, seems to know what she's going to say before she's said it, and just cannot get enough of her. In short, he's perfect.

Then why is Avani losing her mind, ignoring the advice of her BFFs and trying to convince herself that he's just too good to be true?

Will Aman ever be able to figure her out? And will Avani allow him to?

Wickedly witty, tender and utterly relatable at every turn, Too Good to Be True by Prajakta Koli is the sparkling, true-blue, will-they-won't-they love story you've been waiting for!

"Too Good to Be True" is a psychological thriller by Carola Lovering that intricately weaves themes of love, deception, and hidden motives. The narrative unfolds through three distinct perspectives:

• Skye Starling: A successful, affluent young woman in her late twenties, Skye has long struggled with debilitating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) following her mother's death when she was eleven. Her condition has made sustaining romantic relationships challenging. When she meets the charming and older Burke Michaels, she believes she's found the perfect partner who accepts her unconditionally. Their whirlwind romance quickly leads to an engagement, filling Skye with hope for a stable future.

• Burke Michaels: Through letters addressed to his therapist, Burke reveals a starkly different reality. Contrary to the devoted fiancé image he presents to Skye, Burke is a married man with children, entangled in financial difficulties. His relationship with Skye is part of a calculated scheme, though the full extent of his motives remains concealed.

• Heather: Set thirty years prior, Heather's narrative introduces a determined seventeen-year-old aiming to escape her small-town life and tumultuous relationship with the local troublemaker, Burke. She aspires to build a better future in New York City, but unresolved ties to her past pose significant challenges.

As these intertwined stories progress, the novel delves into the complexities of trust, betrayal, and the multifaceted nature of truth. Lovering masterfully crafts a tale filled with unexpected twists, prompting readers to continually reassess their understanding of each character's true intentions. The shifting narratives and timeframes enhance the suspense, making "Too Good to Be True" a compelling exploration of how past and present secrets can collide with unforeseen consequences.

This novel has been praised for its intricate plotting and character development, with Kirkus Reviews noting Lovering as "a master of manipulation to rival her own characters."
