the only thing for me was the writing, it felt more like a YA book at times such as scenes with her love interest. Nothing wrong with YA books but this is not marketed as such so sometimes I felt like I was reading YA romance due to the wordings and descriptions.
I really did enjoyed the discussion on the ‘perfect victim’, very true and unfortunately always relevant.

A classic thriller and mystery in many ways, dare I say it also had a bit of a beach read vibe to it. (When I tell you, I was all ears!!) 🎧
“Listen for the Lie” was funny at times, definitely had a handful of sarcastic and petty characters on deck and there’s a scene of overt smut for those of you who love a steamy read or chapter 😏. But the underside of this very entertaining novel was that domestic abuse, infidelity, and male incel behavior were also included and explored. As well as the impact and importance of friendships, past and present.
