Liars Like Us was my first book by J.T. Geissinger. And to be honest, I'm not sure if it was the best book to start. Don't get me wrong, the writing style is intriguing and I definitely will pick up another book by her, but there is just something about this one that simply didn't get through to me.
It might be the fact that this book is written solely in Emery's POV. To me, to understand everything better, specially a morally grey hero, I need his POVs as well. This made it hard for me to connect with Callum on a deeper level.
Also, the ending felt rushed to me. And I'm still confused about Callum's side job.
Even though many questionable things happen in this story and red flags (at least in real life they would be) are thrown out left and right, I thoroughly enjoyed Emery and Cullum's banter. The flow of the story was nicely paced and kept me interested. There is some push and pull between Emery and Callum that ends in hot tension and scenes well placed within the story.

I LOVED it! This book surprised me. It is not just another billionaire romance. It is the best that I have read of the billionaire (and other) romance books. Everything flowed so smoothly, no jerks out because of mismatched tense or other errors. The dialogue was natural and hilarious. You get really attached to the characters - I WANT MORE OF THEM. Oh yeah, it was quite the

I like it in general, especially of how witty the heroine is but I think this is just another feel good story that is easily forgettable.

This book was wild, but also low-key funny, so entertaining overall.

Liars Like Us is a book I couldn't put down once I started. It's filled with tons of steam and a great moments that made me laugh out loud. Plus, to put the decadent cherry on this delicious cake, Callum McCord is intense, fascinating, and an obsessive billionaire that I completely fell for.
Emery's life is falling apart around her. The bookstore that her father began is on the brink of closing, her rent is increasing, and that is just the beginning of her problems. Emery has no idea how to dig herself out of the hole she's in, but when a mysterious billionaire offers to basically solve her problems, Emery begins to wonder if she's on a reality show waiting for the punch line because mysterious men offering to be her white knight is not her reality. Emery is super sassy, with a huge heart for those in her close circle. She makes this book a ton of fun to read and that is only part of why I loved it.
Liars Like Us is witty and drenched in a ton of intrigue. Callum rolls into Emery's life under this cloud of mystery and only gives Emery bits and pieces of his life that is pertinent to the right now. He dishes her only what he needs to and mostly it is centered around his urgent need of why he needs her in his life. Callum never expands beyond the present and he's very good at changing direction or distracting Emery so she doesn't notice until later that she actually doesn't know him at all. I will say though in either her defense or perhaps in opposition, either way, Emery is super sassy and never wanted to listen, but as the story progressed, there was purpose to the enigmatic Callum and his distraction was intent-full. He wanted to wait to give answers to Emery at the exact right time, like I said...he's full of mystery.
The book is told completely from Emery's point of view, which also helped keep Callum in his cloud of intrigue. She is super sarcastic and never failed to speak her mind, and I loved her sassy wit, which is one of the things that drew Callum to her as well. While instantly being drawn to him, her sense held him at bay, but what else do you do when a billionaire propositions you and life seems to point at all signs of saying yes?
