Summary: Meg Williams. Maggie Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person, depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be—a college student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything. Kat Roberts has been waiting ten years for the woman who upended her life to return. And now that she has, Kat is determined to be the one to expose her. But as the two women grow closer, Kat's long-held assumptions begin to crumble, leaving Kat to wonder who Meg's true target is. ~amazon.com 

Review: I absolutely loved The Last Flight by Julie Clark when I read it and there was definitely no sophomore slump with The Lies I Tell. 

This book was the ultimate cat and mouse game with both women being either the cat or mouse at different times in the book. By the end of the book, I wasn't sure that Meg was a horrible person like I initially thought. What   she did was shady and wrong but her reasoning, well she wasn't entirely in the wrong. Kat has her own reason(s) for getting close to Meg but can she handle the games they will inflict on each other. 

That ending wasn't what I was expecting either. As much as I want to discuss more about the book, I can't or it'll pretty much ruin the experience for you, dear reader.
