Liars Like Us by J.T. Geissinger
3.0
3.5 stars
Liars Like Us was my first book by J.T. Geissinger. And to be honest, I'm not sure if it was the best book to start. Don't get me wrong, the writing style is intriguing and I definitely will pick up another book by her, but there is just something about this one that simply didn't get through to me.
It might be the fact that this book is written solely in Emery's POV. To me, to understand everything better, specially a morally grey hero, I need his POVs as well. This made it hard for me to connect with Callum on a deeper level.
Also, the ending felt rushed to me. And I'm still confused about Callum's side job.
Even though many questionable things happen in this story and red flags (at least in real life they would be) are thrown out left and right, I thoroughly enjoyed Emery and Cullum's banter. The flow of the story was nicely paced and kept me interested. There is some push and pull between Emery and Callum that ends in hot tension and scenes well placed within the story.
