I actually started reading this a few weeks ago but my initial reaction was
negative. Had I been asked then what the book was about, I would have said
that it was a romance novel set in a southern state of USA (Louisiana) about
a woman who becomes the girlfriend of a man with a tight set of friends.
What was the lie? I assumed it would be something in their relationship.
It wasn't until the moving in scene that something started to trigger. There were a few things slightly off about this that hinted that there was more to come. But my real life intervened and more obviously interesting books beckoned to me.
Picking up the book again (or rather, reopening it on the kobo) led to more interesting material than the tight set of friends, and from there on I was hooked. I don't want to give any of the story away so there will be no spoilers. Suffice it to say that nothing is as it seems. This is not a romance novel but rather an unusual thriller.
The title comes from the attitude that the first lie becomes the basis for a new perspective, and it's very important to make that lie as important as can be. Otherwise tell the truth.
