This book was great! Was into it enough that I read it really fast, but my only complaint that prevented me from giving it a full 5 stars is that I predicted who the killer was, it was pretty obvious. Otherwise, loved this book!

my mom recommended me this as a fast thriller, which it is! the sense of humor was definitely not for me; the millennial sarcasm fell flat for me and the pop culture references just felt out of place. the mystery was interesting enough, though sometimes it was hard to take the narrator’s voice in her head seriously, especially at first. the ending was definitely a surprise! for me, this was mid overall but fun to read

I completed this book via audiobook. And it was such a great listening experience!! I was wowed. And I’m team physical copies of books! 
A classic thriller and mystery in many ways, dare I say it also had a bit of a beach read vibe to it. (When I tell you, I was all ears!!) 🎧 
“Listen for the Lie” was funny at times, definitely had a handful of sarcastic and petty characters on deck and there’s a scene of overt smut for those of you who love a steamy read or chapter 😏. But the underside of this very entertaining novel was that domestic abuse, infidelity, and male incel behavior were also included and explored. As well as the impact and importance of friendships, past and present.
