luvlinn 's review for:

One Good Lie by Jane Isaac
3.25
mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Storyline was okay, if not a bit predictable but the writing is a drag. Lots of description and over explaining situations where it’s just not needed. Inference and leaving it open for the reader may have made the story less predictable. Also was not a fan of the chapters in italics as it felt overdone. 

However, the main characters Ruby and Sophie were well developed and came into their stride towards the end.
