What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter?
After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.
But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast "Listen for the Lie," and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder, even if she is the one that did it.
Listen For The Lie is one of my favorite books this year. Lucy is almost an anti-heroine. She has a chip on her shoulder and rightfully so, in my opinion. Her whole community and maybe even some of her family, believes that she murdered her best friend. I loved her relationship with her grandmother. Without that relationship, Lucy might have been unlikable. My favorite thing about the whole book is the podcast interwoven throughout the book. And the podcast host becomes a very important part of the story. In the end, surprising details are revealed and Lucy has decisions to make.
