A review by jakemitton
Lie with Me by Philippe Besson

4.0

I’m a little bit unsure about how I feel about this book. I enjoyed the story between Philippe and Thomas but I found it written in a fairy specific and somewhat unusual style. I don’t know how much of this is the translators choice versus the authors writing. The autofictional nature of this book also has me a little confused. I’ve never read autofiction before and I didn’t realize that this what is this going into it. I feel like my opinion on this book will solidify over the next few weeks but I think 4 stars is a safe bet since I know I didn’t dislike it but I’m not sure if I loved it.
