Riveting. With Tell Me Lies, Carola Lovering has given us a keenly observed, no-holds-barred examination of the mistakes we make under the guise of love. If you've ever fallen for the wrong person —and let's be honest, you probably have —this book is for you." I resonated with both Lucy and her friends so much because I used to be them. Partying, hooking up, dating the wrong person—this coming of age story is not too unfamiliar for me. The likability of these characters is hard, because at some point of another you've been them. I ended up finishing Tell Me Lies, questioning myself as a person, but also how to work on myself and learn to prevent missteps in the future. Both Lucy and Stephen have secrets they hide from one another. And as Lucy tries, over and over, to regain control of her life, she can't resist her feelings for Stephen, and she knows that if everything was perfect, he'd feel the same. Is she wrong to keep pinning her hopes on someone who keeps disappointing her? Will it ever be different? I’d watched her sacrifice so much of herself on my behalf, even though I’d never given her what I knew she wanted.

The problem is, Lucy, that you wrote an article about Cabo San Lucas and did not mention our Cabo San Lucas client, Las Ventanas al Paraiso. You are first and foremost an employee of The Suitest. Do you have any idea how this makes us look? What if Sonja sees this? I know Harry would agree, had he read the article, which clearly he has not.” Melissa’s lips are curled into a snarl, and I can see just how much she cherishes the opportunity to make me feel like an idiot. It’s disconcerting to hear so many spiteful words coming out of her mouth rather than seeing them typed out in long, pointed paragraphs on instant message. I can tell she’s pleased with herself for handling this offline.Even though, two years and some change later, he still did not love me. Even though, two years and some change later, I was his longest "relationship" to date. I was 21 when we got together. He'd graduated, had just dumped his long-distance girlfriend (or had he? I don't know). I was insecure and young and naive and I was number 32. Yes, he told me what number I was, and I thought it was so cool of me that it didn't bother me. That it didn't bother me when he told me I wasn't the prettiest girl he'd dated, or that I wasn't even the best at sex—not even in the top 5. That we were never "official." That he never, not once, said that he loved me. That he'd taunt me with it by mouthing "olive juice," because it looks like "I love you." He proudly said he had Peter Pan Syndrome, that he would never grow up. That he manipulated me emotionally, socially isolated me from my friends, and I bought into every damn thing because I just wanted to be accepted.

I saw a lot of people rating this low because they hated the people and I get that. If you aren't interested in reading about garbage human beings, this is not the book to you. It has as much drama as a Lifetime movie, and the way that Lucy and the other girls talk about each other is pretty gross. Nasty New Yorkers seems to be the new trend in women's lit this year, as I've seen it displayed not just in TELL ME LIES, but also SOCIAL CREATURE and SOCIABLE. I went in with pretty low expectations but actually ended up enjoying it just as much as I did BIG LITTLE LIES. No, the characters aren't likable but they're realistic and interesting, and very entertaining to watch. I'm pretty satisfied with how it all came together although part of me wishes things ended a little differently. I really wanted a couple of things…sorted out. But we can’t always have what we want and like I mentioned at the beginning, I was still addicted to this story, unable to put it down. I'd be lying to you if I didn't tell you how real, honest, and raw Tell Me Lies is. Lucy Albright, young Long Island twenty-something year old has moved across the country to California to enroll in college. Embracing her new chapter at life, Lucy makes new friends, enjoys the college lifestyle of partying while balancing school work, and venturing into romance. Lucy stumbles across Stephen DeMarco one night and the duo's chemistry is magnetic. While Stephen isn't as physically attractive as the stunners that Lucy typically dates/hooks up with, she is intrigued by Stephen and his charm.
