Tell Me Lies is a messy, twisted story that shows the reality of toxic relationships, overcoming trauma, and finally getting over THAT guy.
My biggest complaint (other than the stress this book caused me) would be that there is ultimately no real resolve, or I guess consequences, to some of Stephen's more horrifying actions. I suppose that is the way the world works at times though.
I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys Colleen Hoover's style of books.
With that being said, this book is not all just empty drama. It also deals heavily with mental health while getting into these real-life issues.

Very different from the show, and I hate the changes the show has made to both Wrigley & Evan's characters. Interested to see how it plays out though! ♡grboph's review against another edition
