The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen

3.5

---

I didn’t realize that this author typically writes romance until after I finished this book - but now it makes a lot of sense. For it being a mystery - the romance peace was a little bit cheesy and too much of a focus. But overall, it was a really fast read, the bulk of it is super interesting and then the ending fell flat. Mostly because the author packaged everything up in a perfect little box with a pretty little bow and it seemed a bit a stretch, but I did enjoy the pace and the storyline until then.
