Compulsive (Liar Duet Book 1) by Lia Fairchild
5 Stars
Wow, I read this book in just a few hours because I could not put it down. There wasn't any major twists and turns or major drama, mystery, or suspense involved, but was simply about a woman who thought the only way to survive life was by constantly lying, even little white lies that wouldn't matter one way or the other, she just couldn't help herself. There was a continued mystery of how she got to where she was in her life and a few small twists you didn't see coming, but to me it was more about how she coped, and how she worked to fix it.
She was forced into therapy because of something that happened at work, and had to comply or she would lose her job. Therapy was not working with her current therapist as the lies just kept coming, until she ends up seeing Dr. Daniel Harrison. She feels comfortable with him and finds herself opening up and facing some of the issues that have been haunting her for years.
The few flashbacks that I got were perfectly placed and were completely relevant in explaining why Gray was the way she was. She had some traumatic events happen in her past that would make it hard for anyone to not have some problems as they got older. The secondary characters in this book were fantastic, well most of them were and watching all of them interact and play a part in Grays life was awesome. I really liked Gray right from the beginning, she wasn’t a bad person in any way, she just made bad choices, and I can’t wait to read the next book to see if her healing progresses and also to find out more about the doctors past, and whether there is any healing for him in his own future.
I sincerely loved this story, it obviously flowed well since I read it within a few hours and I can’t wait to dive in to the next part. This is my first read by this author but will for sure not be my last even after this series.
