A review by elioreadsbooks
Lie With Me by Philippe Besson

emotional reflective sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This actually made me tear up while I was reading this is a beautifully rendered story with so much heart and emotion at the core
