rmarcin 's review for:

The Lies That Bind by Emily Giffin
2.0

When a book title has “lies” in the title, you know the whole story will be a lie. I spent the whole book knowing that there would be a giant lie that would overshadow the entire story, and just waited for the reveal.
When the lie was revealed, I felt like I knew it all along. I was incredibly disappointed in this book, although there were a few things I liked (mainly how Cecily was a good friend to Scottie, and how nicely her family treated her). I was bored with how easily Cecily fell into a relationship with Grant, and how quickly she reunited with Matthew. The Matthew / Cecily relationship seemed shallow all along.
Hoping for a better book from Emily Giffin in the future, as this book dragged for me.
