Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera

3.0

I’m very torn between giving this book 2 or 3 stars, so we’re going with a two and a half. The half I’m giving because the final 1/4 of this book was not terrible. However, the rest of it was very cringe and hard to read. Throwing in pop culture references that added nothing to the plot or furthered it in anyway was really bugging me while reading this. Why date your book with game of thrones and avengers references when it was completely unnecessary? I can see how the fast-paced true crime aspect would entice people, but this one just wasn’t for me. It just feels like a book that should have been released back in 2012 when both avengers and game of thrones were relevant.
