A review by dvnielle_t
Last Girl Lied To by L.E. Flynn
2.0
I received an ARC of this from the publisher from a giveaway here on Goodreads! Thank you!
ah, the dreaded two-star review. by goodreads standards, it means the book is okay. and the book wasn't bad, at all, but if i ask myself if it was good, i just kinda "eeeeeeehhhhhh" to myself because i don't know. last girl lied to certainly isn't bad but it's definitely not something i'm going to tell everyone around me to read because it really is a lot of "ok."
i really don't think there's a single character in this book that i genuinely liked or cared about. everyone had their own flaws, and fiona liked to make sure we knew that she had them but it was almost beat into our heads by the end that she felt that she was lesser than because she wasn't the same size she'd been a year before. fiona used people just as much as she was used, and i guess spending 370 pages of listening to her judge others for things she personally wouldn't have done while she herself did things others wouldn't have done was just one big Clusterfuck.
i really. wanted to. like this more. but i just can't. like? i really thought when i was about halfway through this that i was going to give it like four stars, at least, because the mystery was really good in the beginning. but!
seriously, fictional high schoolers go through more shit than i could have ever dreamed of. or nightmare-ed of. depends on the situation, ig.
maybe more people will like this more than i did. i used this as a sort of cleanser between like a marathon of fantasy books and idk if it helped or not. thank you, again, to goodreads, the publisher, and the author for this arc!

Spoiler
if you want the entire mystery of not one but two deaths/disappearances/losses to be explained in, i shit you not, a couple of paragraphs about ten pages from the end, give this a shot.seriously, fictional high schoolers go through more shit than i could have ever dreamed of. or nightmare-ed of. depends on the situation, ig.
