The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

General Description: Kat Roberts blames Meg Williams for everything wrong in her life. When Meg randomly reappears in Kat's area as a real estate agent, Kat knows it's time to exact her revenge on Meg. Meg has no idea about Kat, because Meg has one goal: take down the man who ruined her left. Who will be able to get revenge on who?

The goods:
- The scams were pretty clever.
- The twists in this book (especially the end) kept me on my toes and engaged in the book.
- I enjoyed the dual perspectives we got in this book.

The loss of 2 stars:
- Someone needed to be like run over by a truck in this book and I seriously feel like the tension was all that was built and the vengeance was not truly delivered. 
- The first 1/3 of this book is spent in the past, which is a long backstory for a 300+ page novel. It definitely dragged the book down because I wanted to get to the main scam.

Overall, if you like scammy, psychological thrillers with minimal physical violence, you'd enjoy this book.
