Lie with Me by Philippe Besson

3.0

This book is written in first person present tense looking back on past events. The way this book is written (translated?) along with the fact that it's very short, prevented me from really connecting with the characters. It seemed cold and disconnected from events of a first love. Normally that type of story should really pull at the heart strings but alas, this does not. It's not even that it's bad or poorly written, it's just that it doesn't really engage the reader.
