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.
The truth is out there, if we just listen.

Like true crime, but fake. I devoured this book. I read the first chapter and knew I needed to wait till I could sit down and dive in and once I did I read it so quickly! The format is so fun and I don't think there was any part of this book I didn't enjoy
4.5 i really loved this a lot and it definitely kept me turning the pages and i LOVED the MC and she is such a complex character and those are the ones I love to read from and the audio was so do good too I finish this book so fast and stayed up til 3am, I do wish the ending was a tiny bit more fleshed out and thats why I cant get it a full 5 stars other than that I absolutely loved it and didnt see the twists coming
This was a fun ride and I couldn't stop listening. It hit a lot of my favorite things about the mystery/thriller genre. A snarky MC, small town setting, lots of hidden family and friend secrets, A PODCAST tie in, lost memories, and an excellently woven mystery.
I would highly recommend the audiobook. It was dual narration and definitely brings the podcast element to life.
