Evie and Ryan are in love and also have secrets they are keeping from one another. First Lie Wins focuses on each of their careers, stories, and lives, both past and present. I loved the mystery from beginning to end. Ashley Elston lets us in on the lies, secrets, and truth at the perfect pace, keeping us guessing until the end. This was engaging and fun, worth the hype. I like novels about cons - at least this one. I read (on audio) the novel quickly, while traveling.
