Count My Lies by Sophie Stava
3.5
A solid 3.5 ⭐️
The quality of writing wasn’t my favourite at first and took me a little bit to get on board especially given the main character is quite literally my worst nightmare in human form. But the story, plot, and thrilling aspect made up for this and if you just let yourself be taken for a ride, it will be worth it.
A POV change halfway through was a pleasant surprise and switched to my favourite character. Especially upon hitting this part, I was fully invested and was excited for the rest of the book.
I had fun with this book and that alone makes it worth the read. I feel so often we forget to rate books on what they are instead of comparing to classics or incredibly moving books. This thriller did all the things I wanted from the genre. I was interested in the plot, looking for ways out of their situations, invested in characters (whether invested in their success or downfall), and the ending was satisfying.
