Carola Lovering’s four standalone novels chart a consistent path through contemporary psychological fiction. Tell Me Lies (2018) launched her career with a story of a codependent college relationship that poisons both people involved. The book was later adapted into a Hulu series, raising Lovering’s profile significantly.
Too Good to Be True (2021) brought a thriller edge to her work with a story built on deception and unreliable narration. Can’t Look Away (2022) explored the fallout when a woman’s past resurfaces in her new suburban life. Bye, Baby (2024) examined a close friendship coming apart under pressure. Each book is self-contained and features different characters, though they share Lovering’s interest in how people perform their lives for others.
