The Better Liar by Tanen Jones

2.0

Why is this a thriller?

It's a book. It has a story and a plot and all that, but it's not a thriller.

I can't say I enjoyed it. The dialogue was stilted and awkward. The dual POVs felt unreal -as in Leslie stuttering every sentence in Mary's POV and Mary being tacky and sketchy in Leslie's POV- and the whole dynamic was grating on my nerves.

I find the author's efforts to write something noble very commendable, and I'm not feeling good about myself for not liking this.
