This book was great! Was into it enough that I read it really fast, but my only complaint that prevented me from giving it a full 5 stars is that I predicted who the killer was, it was pretty obvious. Otherwise, loved this book!

my mom recommended me this as a fast thriller, which it is! the sense of humor was definitely not for me; the millennial sarcasm fell flat for me and the pop culture references just felt out of place. the mystery was interesting enough, though sometimes it was hard to take the narrator’s voice in her head seriously, especially at first. the ending was definitely a surprise! for me, this was mid overall but fun to read

I completed this book via audiobook. And it was such a great listening experience!! I was wowed. And I’m team physical copies of books! 
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.

I like Lucy's character for the most part. She is funny and snarky. One of the issues is that sometimes it can be a bit much. All the other characters (not including Paige) are just horrible people. Even our smug with questionable ethics podcaster, Ben.

Very interesting read to start off the year!  While I ended up reading most of it, the audio version had a male narrator for the podcast versions, which was a really nice touch.

I thought it was surprisingly funny amid all of the heavy content.  Definitely would read more by the author!

As a thriller fan and a feminist, I loved this debut! There are some major trigger warnings, so I don’t think this will be for everyone depending on where you’re at in your healing journey. However, I think it was thoughtfully written and definitely helps combat our society’s tendency to victim blame.
