I spent a good chunk of my weekend absorbed in You and Me by Nicola Raynor. This book doesn’t come out until October 1, but thanks to NetGalley, I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of it. It’s another one that I had trouble putting down!

Well, the first thing I have to say about The First to Lie is that it is probably the most twisty novel I’ve read in a while. And yes, I said twisty – not twisted. Maybe the question shouldn’t be about who is or was the first to lie, but who ISN’T lying? Wow. This one really threw me for a loop. I started reading it and kept asking questions all the way through.

I still can’t really believe that I’m reading as many books lately as I am, but when you’re trying to just stay home, and social media is getting kind of annoying, and the news is not that great lately in the world… you turn to ways of escape, and books are a great escape from reality.
