Everybody is A Liar by Liv Constantine
3.0
Read Completed 11/21/24 | 2.5 - 3 stars
I knew this was a short but I was excited for this. The production actually really made it difficult to get into at first. It was a full cast audio production, but it was part full cast where the narrators each did their own voices, and then part of it was someone narrating all of the voices during a different POV. I'm not sure why that switched around but it was a little confusing to switch back and forth.
The story itself was good, but for a short story, I found it a little frustrating at how many female voices there were. There were at least four different females to keep track of and since we didn't get to spend a lot of time with each one, I really felt like I was being bounced around frequently without getting to know any of them.
The conclusions was a surprise to me, and that finally felt like a classic Liv Constantine vibe. The rest of the book was fine, but like I said, it just felt a little all over the place until I really started getting into it, but by then, it was too little too late. I think that's just often something that can happen in a short story -- it either works quickly or falls apart quickly. This wasn't as easy to connect with as I wanted, but I liked the popcorn twist in the end.
