Messy: The Lies We Tell (Second Edition)

Rate this book
Author’s Note. PLEASE

This is the second edition of The Lies We Tell. This is a revamped, rebranded, revised version of the original copyrighted work with over 100,000 added words of new scenes, new characters and new plots.



One fact of life everyone lies.

Some lie for personal gain.

A small group lie for love.

Others lie to manipulate.

But the majority? They lie for absolutely no reason at all.

Once you tell one lie, you tell another to cover the previous lie and another to cover those until things tend to get, Messy.

Best-friends, Princess, Naomi, Monique and Kristina, all have lies they tell along with secrets they want to keep. But what happens when one friend’s lie can ruin all of their lives? Will another lie suffice to keep them on track or will that one truth cause their perfect façades to come crashing down around them?

ok read

This was an ok read. I’m glad it’s over, it took me forever to read. I had to keep stopping, I did finish, but feel like the story could’ve ended so long ago.

All the feels

This book literally gave me all the feels. I rode an emotional roller coaster. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Princess,Naomi,Monique and the rest of the gang. I love the way the author told the story in an easy to follow yet engaging manner. I can’t decide whose arc I love the most but I feel satisfied with the way the story ended. The storylines didn’t feel rushed and at the end nothing felt too unfinished. Definitely recommend.

Yes Ma’am

Best read of the year so far! I didn’t read the first version on this book but I can tell you this is straight fire. I LOVE a good long well thought out story. The characters were developed. The storyline flowed well and made sense. I think Monique was my favorite. Since went through it. It goes to show all that glitters isn’t gold. I can’t wait to visit the manor again.

Not what i was expecting

Someone put an paragraph in my book club and all i can say was it was bad. But after reading this book it was a paragraph from the wrong book. This book had me feeling all kinds of things.

Messy

This book was exactly what the title entails…Messy. I didn’t read the first edition but this edition was thorough and tied up all loose ends.
