I do love Gemma Townley’s writing, but Little White Lies wasn’t one of my favorites. Having just discovered Gemma Towney this summer, I’ve been excited to read more of her books, so I’ve been picking up as many as I can.

The right time to tell Simon never arises, so Natalie continues to live a fake life as Cressida Langdon, Reiki healer and socialite extraordinaire. With good intentions to tell Simon who she really is, Natalie goes on a few dates. Intrigued by the letter with a phone number for a man named Simon Rutherford, Natalie, in a drunken stupor calls the number. After several boring nights in, Natalie goes out with co-workers, gets hammered and comes home and opens one of Cressida’s letters. Natalie’s new life is so pathetic that she doesn’t even get her own mail delivered to her house she receives letters addressed to the previous tenant Cressida Langdon. She doesn’t have much of a social life and is disappointed by her new life in the big city. Natalie gets an apartment in London and a job at a high-end clothing shop in town. When Natalie quits her job in Bath, England for a more exciting life in the big city of London, she realizes that sometimes adventure isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Little White Lies: A Novel of Love and Good Intentions by Gemma Townley tells the story of Natalie Raglan, a 20-something just looking for adventure.
