Compulsive by Sommer Stein, Lia Fairchild

5.0

5 Stars

Compulsive is the first book in the Liar series by Lia Fairchild. WOW, this book is amazing!!! I don’t know how I have not discovered this author, or this book before now! It was recommended to me by a friend who said it was fantastic and a ‘must read’, but as I had not heard of the author before I wasn’t sure what I would find between the covers. But my friends glowing recommendation, the beautiful cover, and the intriguing blurb soon had me embarking on a very captivating, beautiful, emotional, and touching story. From the moment I opened it I was transfixed, I couldn’t put it down and ended up devouring it over the course of an afternoon.
The story is all about re-discovering yourself, overcoming grief/loss/pain, finding love- and so much more. I don’t think there is any way I can convey the beautiful story without giving away spoilers. And there is no way my meagre words can really do this book the justice it deserves. All I can say is that if you haven’t read this book, or this truly talented author- then I feel you are really missing out.
Ms. Fairchild has impressed me with her wonderfully descriptive, emotive, seemingly effortless and engaging style. Her attention to detail, well-developed and dynamic storyline, complex and endearing characters, and her masterful ability to convey moods and emotion, make this an irresistible and addictive read.
I really recommend reading Gray and Daniels story. But be prepared for a roller coaster ride of highs and lows as this story will rip your heart out one minute, before piecing you back together again. This story continues into book two, which is already released so you won’t have to wait to continue on.
It’s well worth your time and money. You are sure to love it as much as I did!

Thank you, Ms. Fairchild!
