Tell Me Lies by Carola Lovering
2.0
I hated the characters in this book. I kept holding out that Stephen and Lucy would become better main-characters as the book went on, but sadly they did not.
'Tell Me Lies' is filled with drugs, sex, cheating, and toxicity -- all of which would normally make for a fun read for me (as a 20-something living in NY), but it just felt forced and unrealistic. Stephen was an asshole character that never had any character development or growth, and Lucy was often super annoying, albeit she had some character growth and I liked her better.
I wanted to like this book, but in the end, I was just so disappointed. I finished the book to finish it, but I honestly couldn't care less about where each of their storylines ended.
Overall, I was able to read/finish this book, but it was not my favorite.
***SPOILER BELOW***
Additionally, one of the most interesting plot points in the story, a young girl named Macy who's death was tied to both Stephen and Lucy, never really had a conclusion. It left me dissatisfied and wanting more information or a little something more to address it.
