Summary
Everybody lies。 Even the ones you think you know best of all 。 。 。
Olivia Bender designs exquisite home interiors that satisfy the most demanding clients。 But her own deepest desire can’t be fulfilled by marble counters or the perfect rug。 She desperately wants to be a mother。 Fertility treatments and IVF keep failing。 And just when she feels she’s at her lowest point， the police deliver shocking news to Olivia and her husband， Park。
DNA results show that the prime suspect in a murder investigation is Park’s son。 Olivia is relieved， knowing this is a mistake。 Despite their desire， the Benders don’t have any children。 Then comes the confession。 Many years ago， Park donated sperm to a clinic。 He has no idea how many times it was sold—or how many children he has sired。
As the murder investigation goes deeper， more terrible truths come to light。 With every revelation， Olivia must face the unthinkable。 The man she married has fathered a killer。 But can she hold that against him when she keeps such dark secrets of her own？
This twisting， emotionally layered thriller explores the lies we tell to keep a marriage together--or break each other apart 。 。 。

I received a pre-publication look at this book through NetGalley。 It was a thrilling ride to the end！ The story had twists and turns throughout， unveiling of secrets along the way。 Trying to figure out who did what and who was lying was never ending and kept me guessing until the final chapter。 Well crafted suspenseful thriller。

Sigh。 I can’t go on anymore rants about unreliable narrators this year。 This was just terrible and everyone is wholly unlikeable and the “twist” was so obvious and given away halfway through so what was the point？ Just don’t。 Thanks to the publisher for an arc。

The premise of It’s One of Us is Profound。 The idea that donated sperm can father close to 30 children is insane and for all of those offspring to be wanting to meet their father？ This is good stuff。 The writing is superb and I could not devour it fast enough。 This book is practically perfect。

Interesting plot about a woman who suffers multiple miscarriages during in vitro。 When the police arrive at their door， she discovers that her husband has unintentionally fathered multiple children after his sperm donation was used too many times by a fertility clinic。 One of these children has just murdered a woman。 Somehow everyone is connected in this fast-paced thriller by J。T。 Ellison。 An enjoyable read and a moving book on infertility。

A well written psychological thriller that explores nature vs nurture and do we ever really know the people we are closest to。 Worth the read for the many ethical issues it raises as well

I thought It’s One of Us was a very interesting book。 The hook of the story is that a woman has been murdered。 While investigating the murder， the police discover that the likely perpetrator has familial DNA of a local man。 The police arrive and discover that this man did not know he had any children！ The characters were interesting and mostly believable ， and I enjoyed the novel。 Some actions in the novel seemed so unrealistic that it took me out of the book。

This book was so good I couldn’t put it down。 From page one， the story takes off and doesn’t slow down until the end。 It has so many twists and turns that I kept trying to figure out how it would end。。and failed。 I can’t wait for my friends to read this book so we can talk about it。 The only part I didn’t like was the epilogue。 It was not only unneeded it felt like trying to put a bow on a story that was too all over the place。
