๐ญJust devoured Listen For The Lie by Amy Tintera, and let me tell youโthis book is the definition of unputdownable!
First off, I love how Tintera manages to pull you into this small-town mystery right from the start. I love how the story alternates between Lucyโs perspective and the podcast episodes. The short, punchy chapters had me in that "just one more page" mindset, and before I knew it, I was deep into the book!
The podcast transcripts? Surprisingly addictive! Each character spilling the tea on everyone else, stirring up all that delicious small-town dramaโit added such a fun, gossipy vibe to the mystery. What really stood out to me was the dynamic between the characters. There's this whole web of lies and secrets, and it makes you question everyone's motives. I found myself constantly wondering who to trust, and that made the story all the more engaging. It kept me guessing and made the whole experience feel super immersive.
The plot twists? Let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Just when I thought I had things figured out, BAMโTintera hits you with another curveball. I was on the edge of my seat trying to piece everything together, and I loved every minute of it.
The pacing is spot on tooโfast enough to keep you hooked, but not so rushed that you miss out on the details. And the ending? No spoilers, but let's just say it wrapped things up in a way that left me satisfied but I certainly rolled my eyes at certain scenes!
The main character, Lucy - I loved her. Her inner murderous voice was hilarious and the sarcasm was on point. She had this dark, sarcastic humour about her that made me laugh out loud and instantly connect with her.
Lucyโs grandmother Beverly is the only character in the book I could root for from start to end without any dip.
Overall, Listen For The Lie was an absolute thrill ride. From the engaging characters to the twisty plot, I was completely hooked. The combination of Lucy's gripping narrative and the juicy podcast drama kept me turning pages late into the night.
๐.๐ This was my first time reading this author and I would be interested to read more from her in the future.
