Never Lie by Freida McFadden
The plot is full of holes, the characters were all *so* unlikeable. And I really don’t understand how the narrator spent the whole book lying, to herself? Like, I get that her lies made for a great plot twist but we were seeing everything from her point of view so I don’t understand how her point of view was just not real? Anyway, the doctor was crazy unethical and the entire reason for the storyline was so… blown out of proportion?

The writing is fine but the story was absolutely not it for me personally.

If I didn’t want to see what happens with the rest of this series I absolutely wouldn’t have finished this. Between the surprise pregnancy (gross) and the ridiculous miscommunication trope (yuck!) and Penny being neurotic and absurd (eugh brother) this was a major miss for me. Eli is a certified cutie patootie and has the patience of a saint.
