My book for today is Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera
Publication Date: March 5, 2024
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.
First Sentence:
LUCY
A podcaster has decided to ruin my life, so I’m buying a chicken.

“I’m not trying to prove you killed Savannah,” Ben says. “I’m trying to find out who killed her.”
Today’s Question Is: – On average, how long do you spend writing a review? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)
A: That depends. If a book blows me away, it could take me a few days to find the words to write down. If it is not that great, I can write a review immediately.
