Customer Reviews

Such an enthralling book

There Will Be Lies has a lot of moving parts to it but it's written and displayed in a way that makes total sense. It took me a year to track down the name of this book so I could read it again and it was well worth it. If you're interested in a book with high stakes but a relatable main character, this is your book.

Very good

First of all, I love the description. It’s weirdly vague so you have no clue what it’s actually about. And then when you start it, it’s so unexpected. This book is soooooo good. I cannot stress it enough. And I won’t spoil anything but I love the main character and the “minority” group she represents because you don’t see many of her people as lead characters.
