The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark
4.0
3.75 ⭐️ “The lies I tell serve a purpose, tipping karma in the right direction. Returning power to those who have lost it. The difference between justice and revenge comes down to who’s telling the story.”
wasn’t as twisty and suspenseful as The Last Flight, but i still enjoyed it
a female con artist exacting justice by targeting evil and corrupt men who always seem to evade it?? cool! rooting for her!
i really liked meg and kat’s friendship and the character growth they had throughout the story. a con artist and a journalist determined to expose her starting to develop a genuine friendship while trying to outwit one another was a fun dynamic to follow.
just like meg’s approach to her targets, the pacing of the story was slow and thorough. while i usually prefer more fast-paced books and was a bit bored at times, i see how it was important to Show (not tell) us exactly how meg pulls it off every time, how she slowly gains trust of her targets and how much meticulous planning goes into it. no insane plot twists, but i liked how the tension slowly grew and led to a satisfying conclusion.
a super clever, original, and well-written story <3
