This book was so good. I devoured it in less than 24 hours. Had me hooked from the first chapter. A classic case of whodunit, except how do you solve a murder when the whole town covers it up? When the most influential of the town have their hands in everything and their peckers in everyone, finding the truth becomes a struggle. Watching Josslyn piece together the tragic events of her (sometimes) toxic af friend’s death while trying to prove to her infuriatingly hot brother that she and her family had nothing to do with it, was full of telanovela twists and emotional turns that left me shaking my head. I was giggling out loud at the way Finneas does a complete 180 and fanning myself to keep from overheating in the very same chapter.
Although this is not a sequel to Until I Get You, which was released in 2018, it is in the same world, with some characters popping up in When We Lied. You know it's a good story when you not only fall for the MMC but re fall in love with the MMC from the last book as well.

I was so excited for this book because I loved Until I Get You. I enjoyed Finn and the relationship between him and Joss. I didn’t love this one as much as the previous book, but I liked it. I like the danger/suspense elements, Claire is good at that. The only thing is, that I guessed the whole ending very early in the book which took some of my interest and excitement away I like to be shocked and surprised. Something was missing for me, I don’t know if that something is in relation to the storyline or the relationship development, but I just needed more of something.
