She Lied She Died by Carissa Ann Lynch
3.0
3.5/5
A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
Everything and everyone goes crazy when Jenny, a local teenager, is found brutally murdered on Natalie’s family’s farm. Chrissy Cornwall, who is only 14 at the time, is found guilty of the murder and is sentenced to a lifetime in prison. However, 30 years later, she is released… and she wants Natalie to tell her story and what really happened to Jenny many years ago.
I started reading this at the same time that I started The Overnight Guest, and there were a few similarities between the two books so I kept getting confused between the stories. I ended up pausing this one and coming back to it at a later time, which I’m really glad I did!
With a fresh mind, I was way more into the story and intrigued by the storyline. It was a pretty quick read after that. I was hooked from the beginning, and it was a pretty thrilling read.
I did feel like the ending was way too rushed, and I’m not too sure how satisfied I feel with the way everything wrapped up. I didn’t realize the book was so short because I had about 35% of the book left, so when I found out that the rest of the ARC was actually a couple of chapters of a different Carissa Ann Lynch book, I was taken aback.
But overall, it was a great first book to read from Carissa Ann Lynch, and I can’t wait to pick up more of her others!
