*5 stars* There are books that you know you just can't do justice with a review, and Tell Them Lies is one of them. I can't say a signle bad word about it, the story was just perfect in my opinion. Liz and Kieran are my favorite Sorensen couple (even despite my deep love for Jake *gasps*). I can't find words to say how much I loved it. LOVED IT. A very original plot, a bit of a hate-to-love story mixed with a fake-relationship (which turns out to be not so fake at all ;) ) - you've never read anything funny, romantic and heartwarming like this before. Liz. A fellow bookworm and good girl. My spirit animal and bookish version of me in many parts (okay, I only wish I was a gorgeous blue-eyed blonde, although I know a person who fits the look perfectly, hi Goddess ;)) It's kind of creepy that I could relate to a fictional character that much. I understand Liz's struggles, being unsure about her career, dreams, plus the feeling of being left out a bit, like everyone moves forward and you're the only one that seems to stand in the same place, stuck at some point in your life, not knowing what to do next. It takes courage to break through, sometimes you just need the right person by your side, someone to light you up (see what I did there? LOL) and believe in you when you didn't yourself. Kieran, a perfect gentleman hidden under that whole tattoed bad boy appearance. He was utterly *le sigh* and removing his layers (preferably along with his clothes... lol ;)) enabled getting to know him, his past, and discover there was much more about him than meets the eye at first look. I'm adding that gem to my spacious book boyfriend collection ;) <3 I loved how Kieran tore through Liz's defenses, made them get closer to each other, then at last stop pretending and denying their obvious chemistry. I liked how they didn't make up immediately later in the book after a serious fight. It felt reasonable and right. Their relationship had the chance to grow stronger at a normal and steady pace, something that was missing at first. With this book comes an important message that you shouldn't let your past deprive you of your dreams and future. I only wish it was that easy in real life: not to look back and to find the courage to be who you want to be. Non sum qualis eram. Tell Then Lies is my favorite Sorensen book to date. I can't praise and recommend it hard enough. It's sad to see the series come to an end, but knowing that Casey, Rachel and Liz got their own HEAs is a sweet consolation prize that I fully embrace. After all, whenever I miss them, I can grab the books and read them again. And again. I know I will. Many times. <3
