Tell Me Pretty Lies by Charleigh Rose
3.0
This book was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I was so excited for it and was on the edge of my seat waiting for when it would be published. Shayne and Thayer were absolutely forbidden and were step-siblings until a major event happened which rocked them both off their axis.
Now, straight to the point.
Did this book meet my expectations? No. Did I absolutely love this book? No. BUT, did I absolutely hate this book? Also No.
This book was a mix of good and bad. I didn’t like some things and I did like some others.
I felt like Shayne and Thayer had a connection but I would’ve liked it more if Charleigh had shown more of their past. We started off from when she already loved him and I feel like because of that, we weren’t able to see much of the connection between Shayne and Thayer. I would’ve preferred to see how they were before the prologue, seen some scenes which made them fall in love because it felt a little off especially since we didn’t start when they were first meeting. More than this, I feel like it wasn’t really all that clear because they had sex, a lot. It was very often and I feel like that also clouded their connection.
Though despite this, I absolutely loved Valen and Holden. For me they were kind of the stars and I’d definitely love to see more of them! They’re amazing and I feel like Charleigh will knock them out of the park. Charleigh’s writing also manages to drag the emotions out of you and this was certainly no exception to that.
