Don’t know how to explain it, but the author seemed like a conservative who really wanted to bash liberals.

This is my first time reading this author. I want to thank my Goodreads friends for introducing me to this book, specifically.
This is an exciting thriller that will grab the reader right away – so I am just going to say, hold on to your hats – because every character is far more than what they seem. Whatever you think you know, think again.
Also…
With 2 unreliable narrators, readers will be drawn into a world of drifters, rich billionaires (yes, you heard me right!) and a roller coaster ride that just doesn’t seem to want to let up.
The story centers around two grifters named Summer and Leo who have bonded over loss. Leo ran away from her hometown after her sister died and her parents buried themselves in their grief. Summer doesn’t exist on paper, and has led a nomadic lifestyle from the beginning, being abandoned by her mother at 17. When Leo chooses to seduce a rich billionaire and then disappears, Summer determines to find her – and discovers the billionaire’s private island and all his secrets.
The characters are very richly portrayed.
The time frames shift between past and present between the 2 women.
The pacing of the story is fast, and the plotting is intricate and interesting.
This is a dark, and very twisted read.
Will Summer be successful in finding Leo?
This is a great beach read, beginning with the colorful pool cover! Two young women, sisters by choice, who are homeless scammers get in over their heads when one meets a billionaire with plenty of secrets. This is a super quick, fun read. You can't help but root for these criminals. I highly recommend this if you enjoy thrillers with different POVs.
This was a fun read. Slightly predictable but I still enjoyed it.
When a book sucks me in right from the first chapter, I know it's going to be a good one. You Can Trust Me did just that. I was so completely immersed in the story and binged it from start to finish. Told from the dual POVs of Summer and Leo, and alternating timelines over the course of a couple of weeks (the timeline is really just opposite days) for most of the book until the end when the timing lines up. This is one of those books that would be super easy to spoil, so I'm not going to say much more except READ THIS BOOK. It's such a great, binge-able read and the perfect book to read this summer.
Thank you Ballantine Books and NetGalley for this fabulous eARC!

I love thrillers but this one wasn’t that thriller-y to me. I thought the storyline with Michael and Leo’s sister was very predictable. The cold room with snow was obviously a facade. Leo was obviously alive the whole time. I thought the beginning of the book was the most interesting. The middle fell flat and the end was just not as twisty as I expected.
at this point, i think it’s me that just doesn’t enjoy thrillers anymore. i don’t know what i’m ever expecting but the pacing is generally off (slow burn transcends into a chaotic last ~50 pages) and the characters are surface-level. the pretty cover of this one is mainly what kept me going.
2 stars.
