Another absolute banger from Ms. A.R Torre!! I fell in love with her writing in "Every Last Secret", so I knew that I would love this book as well! "The Good Lie" is the perfect mix of rich people drama, character development, and true crime..and let me tell you I ATE this book up. As a woman who is currently in school to become a criminal psychologist, it was incredibly interesting and empowering to read about an FMC in the same profession that I wish to one day be in..even if her moral compass was a bit skewed. A few of the smaller plot twists were easily guessable now that I'm becoming a "seasoned" thriller reader (lol), but the huge plot twist at the end was a complete SHOCKER. 
Overall I absolutely love this book and cannot wait to dive back into the world of A.R Torre. <3
