A review by jessmurr17
Of Lilies And Lies by Margaux Porter
5.0
Margaux Porter's debut novel is an amazing emotional rollercoaster. A few times I had to pause my reading just to think everything through. I wish I could have just sat down and read this book through in a day, but unfortunately life and work didn't let me.
Throughout the book, we follow Kit who is on her healing journey trying to find herself again after many hard years. Kit moves home from California to reconnect with her family. What she didn't expect was to run into the man she met at a gas station before she moved and can't stop thinking about.
Kit and Greer are those characters who will stick with you. Kit is a strong woman who is a widow healing from an abusive marriage. She is sassy and caring. Greer is a patient, caring, and protective man. He is the one who will make you swoon. Each of their family members are amazing and supportive. I want to hear more about each of them. The banter between characters is funny and heart warming.
I loved seeing Kit and Greer's growth throughout the book. So many emotions provoked through their struggles and wins. There is the perfect depth to each character to feel like you really know them as a person or friend. The twists and surprises in the plot kept me turning the pages. You'll be torn and emotional, but patched up, smiling with tears in your eyes at the end.
"Without expectation, without wanting anything in return, I love you."
Run and get this book. I can't wait to read more of Margaux next novels.
