Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant

Thanks to Hachette and Netgalley for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review.

Paul is a bit down on his luck not that he is really telling anyone that, for years he is has been stretching the truth and living off the fact that he once wrote a successful novel. Then he runs into Andrew, whom he doesn't quite remember until he mentions that Paul had dated his sister.

Paul doesn't really remember that and doesn't plan on seeing Andrew again, but when he calls he answers and accepts the invitation to dinner. Once there he meets Alice, and even though she really isn't his type he finds himself intrigued by her and asks Andrew for her number. Soon he is seeing her regularly and tries hard to get himself invited on their trip to Greece.

But really maybe he shouldn't have, because while Paul may think no one knows the truth about him, he has a tendency to forget people and things that aren't useful to him. Of course, he finds himself really falling for Alice but does he really know her? Will all his lies finally catch him?

Whew what a book, I am not sure if I love it, but it was something that is for sure. Paul isn't a very good person, the only thing redeeming about him is that he realizes it in the end. However, on the other hand all of the "good people" aren't that good either. I was wrong with my first theory however, I did suspect some of the rest before it was revealed. I still was surprised by quite a bit. It's hard to root for or feel sympathy for these kinds of characters, but it was a great read.
