Okay, this has to be one of my favorite thrillers of all time. "The Last Time I Lied" follows Emma, a twentysomething artist in New York who is tormented by her past. While at summer camp her cabinmates Natalie, Allison, and Vivian sneak out in the middle of the night, never to be seen again. When she receives an unexpected invitation to join the camp for its reopening, Emma decides to face her past and figure out the truth of what happened to the girls amongst the lies told so many years ago.

I can't recommend this book enough! I think I was hooked on the first line and it held my attention until the very last word. There are few novels in which I can not predict the killer, but this is one of them. The environment, the first-person style of writing, and the realistic portrayal of the characters lends this to be a relatable, believable story about jealousy, revenge, and the truths we tell in our lies.

I loved this book, and all of its twists and turns. Very excited to continue with the series, Lara is a beautifully flawed character and I hope that she can atone for her mistakes.
