Description

What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter?

After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast "Listen for the Lie," and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder, even if she is the one that did it.

This book surpassed my expectations. Not only was it an amazing mystery and thriller, but it also touched on a very important subject: People always believing a man's side of the story before a woman's. I'm pretty happy with how things turned out, though in the beginning I was skeptical on whether I should even keep trying with this book because it started off kinda slow. The mc's decisions (and that voice in her head, before the reveal) did piss me off a few times, but at the same time, I KIND OF get where she was coming from. There were a few other things that weren't extremely realistic, still. And that many semi smut scenes were not needed. But bonus points for the fun grandma.
