Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review
This Is Why We Lie is a new mystery where everyone has secrets. Following Jenna and Adam, we explore the murder case of Colleen O'Dell and her connections to other characters in the story.
This one was a little disappointing. I'll go through the pros first. First of all, the cover is a banger. Love it. Also, I had a really fun time reading it. It wasn't totally boring in any way.
And now the cons. I think that this mystery had potential but the execution was very underwhelming. I don't think the final reveal was built up enough and it followed a predictable pattern. I also didn't really enjoy the writing and I had no attachment to any of the characters. The romance between two of the main characters fell flat for me.
Overall, I can understand why people would like it and I would encourage you to read it because of this. Despite the cons, This Is Why We Lie is a fun and enjoyable read that's a good fit for people not as versed in the mystery genre.
