It seems like every suspense trope was used here, and many of the characters were not well developed or likable. I did listen to part of it, and the reader had an Irish accent and that helped with the pronunciation of some of the names.

An interesting read, but I could see the plot twists coming a mile away. Also the disappearance mentioned in the book description doesn't happen until about 50% of the way through the book--a very strange experience!

This book was a bit too sporadic and "high school" for me. The characters were all super shallow, and the plot would have been good if it weren't so jumpy. Not horrible, but also not great.

Too predictable
I expect psychological thrillers to be suspenseful... this one was not. It was very predictable, and I was distracted by lots of typos. Sorry, don't let the kindle title fool you (bestselling psychological thriller).

I had a hard time getting into this book. It improved as I kept reading but I almost gave up on it. The story was ok but the writing was a little rough. The main character, Erin, aggravated me with much of her behavior - she was often selfish and thoughtless. Ultimately, the ending felt equal parts messy and too perfect.

The Girl Who Lied is a really enjoyable read that kept me intrigued right up until the end.
Erin obviously has something in her past that she doesn’t want anyone to find out about. Unfortunately for her Roisin has discovered something about her and she is intent on ruining her life.
I have to say I really didn’t like Roisin, she is one bitter and twisted person and only has her own interests at heart. She is so eaten up with getting revenge on Erin it really does make her one unlikeable person.
Erin I really liked. She thinks her life is pretty much perfect but when Roisin gets in touch I think it makes her realise she can’t run from the past anymore. Returning home makes her start to revaluate her life.
Kerry is a great love interest. Him and Erin didn’t really have much to do with each other when they were younger but there is definitely some sparks between the pair now and I loved seeing the relationship between them start to bloom, though the road certainly isn’t without a few bumps along the way.
The Girl Who Lied is a highly enjoyable read, filled with secrets and romance. Quite a perfect combination if you ask me. Great for readers who love a good suspense/thriller which isn’t to dark.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Harper Impulse for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
