In
the irresistible new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All
We Ever Wanted and Something Borrowed, a young woman falls hard for an
impossibly perfect man before he disappears without a trace. . . .
It’s 2 A.M. on a Saturday night
in the spring of 2001, and twenty-eight-year-old Cecily Gardner sits alone in a
dive bar in New York’s East Village, questioning her life. Feeling lonesome and
homesick for the Midwest, she wonders if she’ll ever make it as a reporter in
the big city—and whether she made a terrible mistake in breaking up with her
longtime boyfriend, Matthew.
As Cecily reaches for the phone
to call him, she hears a guy on the barstool next to her say, “Don’t do
it—you’ll regret it.” Something tells her to listen, and over the next several
hours—and shots of tequila—the two forge an unlikely connection. That should be
it, they both decide the next morning, as Cecily reminds herself of the perils
of a rebound relationship. Moreover, their timing couldn’t be worse—Grant is
preparing to quit his job and move overseas. Yet despite all their obstacles,
they can’t seem to say goodbye, and for the first time in her carefully
constructed life, Cecily follows her heart instead of her head.
Then Grant disappears in the
chaos of 9/11. Fearing the worst, Cecily spots his face on a missing-person
poster, and realizes she is not the only one searching for him. Her
investigative reporting instincts kick into action as she vows to discover the
truth. But the questions pile up fast: How well did she really know Grant? Did
he ever really love her? And is it possible to love a man who wasn’t who he
seemed to be?
The Lies That Bind is a
mesmerizing and emotionally resonant exploration of the never-ending search for
love and truth—in our relationships, our careers, and deep within our own
hearts.
