A review by tarainez
Liar, Dreamer, Thief by Maria Dong

4.0

I’m giving this one a 3.75. This was a little confusing to get through at the start and a little unbelievable at times, but it held my interest. I wanted to see the end through and figure out how everything fit together, much like the main character, Katrina. It almost felt like two different books at times. The first portion focused on Katrina’s mental health, her relationship with her roommate, Leoni, her job, and her stalking Kurt, a coworker. There is a very clear shift in tone at a very specific point, right between Second and Third Stellation. It felt like I was reading something completely different and more of a standard thriller after this point. I’m not 100% sure on my overall thoughts for this book, because it was such a fever dream haha but I did read about half of the book on Memorial Day alone, so I think that says something about how intriguing the plot was.
