I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!! All I can say is, immediately after finishing this book, I went to buy more of Freida’s books.

Her writing style is so captivating and the short chapters really help with attention spans. This story had me hooked from the first page.

My favorite thing is that after you finish and discover the twist(s), if you go back and reread the book, you start to reinterpret some of the dialogue and descriptions through a new lens, and it’s so trippy.

This was my first thriller maybe ever and I’m definitely a fan.

Oh, we love Frieda - She is my pallet cleanser between heavy content, and I'm rarely disappointed, even when the story is outlandish. With Never Lie, she delivered exactly what I was expecting - which is a book of characters that are truly awful people, and a plot twis  I never would have seen coming. 

Never Lie is a wild ride, and per Friedas MO, the twist will knock you off your feet. Highly recommend for a fast past quick and easy read 💕

Slow start, worried it was going to be slow the whole time. It was not. Without knowing it I was obsessed. A quick read.
