Lie With Me

2.5 Stars

I wanted to like this book a lot more than I actually did. Though the writing is lovely (reading a lot more like a very long journal entry rather than actual scenes, in part due to the lack of dialogue) the actual relationship and plot of said relationship felt very flat and ultimately very cliché to me. I guess I am just kind of over books (and really, all media) that feature an LGBT couple who have a brief affair in their youth, eventually spend decades apart, and then everything ends with the tragic death of one of the pair.
