morrican 's review for:

Never Lie by Freida McFadden
3.0

Just not very good. Gratuitous and overdone. I enjoy Freida’s writing but this felt rushed and sloppy.

At one point, a character was commented as having bright blue eyes and just 2 sentences later it said something about the same person’s grey eyes.

Just felt amateurish.

Will continue to wait weeks though for a Freida book from the library!

Edit— it has only been 2 weeks and I didn’t remember this at all until I looked at the description.

Everything was overdone- “oh, he is so wonderful! My friends say xyz is a red flag (HINT HINT) but I have a secret (HINT)” I wish the hints were implied but they barely were.

For a lot of it I thought maybe the twist would be that Ethan was the guy but the EJ was just a red herring. Patricia/ Trish was a good sneak though.

As soon as I heard Patricia’s story I thought it was obvious she did it- I’ve read too many “final girl” stories to it go there
