indoorg1rl 's review for:
Lying Out Loud
by Kody Keplinger
I was torn between 2 or 3 stars for this one. A bit of background context: I was reading a whole bunch of mystery and thrillers for #buzzwordathon round 2 (2019) at the time, and I needed something light in between to break the rhythm. I'd say this book did the job - it was light, didn't require much thinking, and it was surely entertaining.
I quite liked how Sonny, the main character, was far from perfect. It made a good story how she had to deal with the consequence of her negative actions. Having said that, my problem with the plot was that for a lot of the problems the main character was put through, the resolutions were very oversimplified. She was lucky enough to have a perfectly nice and able family to somehow support her entire life easily, despite of her horrible behaviours. I'm not really a fan of fairy-godmother solution.
The positive surprise for me was that I couldn't put the book down. And being a light reading, I flew through the pages and finished the book in a short amount of time. I did feel entertained after reading it, so it was a fairly good experience for me.
