This wasn't so bad..read people didn't like it, but I liked it

Meh. I've read worse?

This has been done. Again and again and again. I love an unreliable narrator but the characters were "meh" and the twists weren't that twisty. I shouldn't be able to figure out the ending of a book in the first 25% ?‍♀️

I was not impressed by this at all. The names stuck out to me so much that they took me out of the story (Cobain, Nixon). The plot was remarkably predictable from the first page. It's spelled out for you, so the suspense is extremely lacking. I wanted to like it, but I felt like the book was failing with every turn of the page.

There were things I loved and hated about this book. I loved the back and forth between the past and present but I knew almost immediately what had happened. It was a quick read so I don't feel like I wasted my time but I wish the story had a little more to it.
Book 40/100 for 2019

Another mystery, another unreliable narrator. When the 1st twist came (long into the story) it surprised me. Then the 2nd one came. Again, nice twist. And then they coming, coming, coming &I‘d had enough. I think a good mystery uses twists sparingly &at the right time. When you throw a bunch in at the end of the book it discounts them &makes for some eye-rolling. The whole book leading up the the twists was lackluster as well.

Dark and lyrical, romantic and suspenseful, We Told Six Lies is a fast-paced, engrossing page-turner that will have you dying to know how it ends...

Ever heard the song Held by Natalie Grant? My mind had it on replay as I went through We Told Six Lies by Victoria Scott. By the way, if you call the twist before the end then you're a better CSI agent than I was, and I was pleasantly surprised.

You could sniff out the darkness, find people‘s weaknesses. You didn‘t use that knowledge against them, exactly, but you would use it to get what you needed. It sounds the same, but it‘s not.”

“People are desperate to speak of themselves, and there‘s no way to get someone to open up faster than to present an opinion on something they feel passionately about. Then—and here‘s the real lesson—then you must pretend to come to their side. When they feel they‘ve won you over, two things happen: they like you better than they did before, and they feel guilty for convincing you. That‘s when you can ask for what it is you really want.”

“No one sympathizes with crying. Not really. What they sympathize with is someone trying not to cry. A mother crying over her sick child isn‘t nearly as riveting as a father standing at a podium, asking for someone to find his baby girl, with tears in his eyes that he‘s fighting to hold back. That‘s what‘ll be repeated on newsreels. You understand the difference, Mockingbird?”

“You want to know the fastest way to make a friend?” you asked. "Make an enemy.” My brow furrowed in confusion. "No one feels more vulnerable, or more upset, than when they‘re a target. So target someone.”
“I don‘t get it,” I said. “How will targeting someone make them a friend?”
“You don‘t target the person you want to befriend, my wolf. You target the enemy of the person you want to befriend.”

I just finished this book and I don't really know how I feel about it. I know I didn't love it but I also didn't hate it! Molly and Cobain are dating. The decided that they are going to run away together but Molly never shows up at their meeting spot. When Cobain finds out Molly has been kidnapped he is devastated. But when the cops start looking at him. He is forced to think is he the one that took Molly? I just felt like something was missing!

Thank goodness it is Friday and the start of a three day weekend. Starting it off right by reading! Ruby wasn't to happy when she saw that I was going to read. She turned her back to me right after I took this picture! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

“You said, “He let me go.”
And tears filled your eyes. You bit down on your anger, your entire body shaking in my hands. You weren‘t mad at this memory you were holding, I don‘t think. You were mad because you didn‘t want me to see the emotion on your face. But I saw it anyway... If the world had split between our feet, asphalt falling to the center of the earth, I would still have found a way to hold on to you.”

A haunting title, a mystery and it's Friday!😃✨🔥🌟🙃

I am DNFing this at 28%, I just cannot go on anymore reading this. I think it was a good idea for a plot, however it was poorly executed. The writing was weak as well as character development. There were things characters said that I don‘t think most people will say. Also, it was slow moving and I just didn‘t care.
