When We Lied by Claire Contreras

5.0

This story takes place in the same world as Until I Get You but follows Finn and who loses his sister and is trying to figure out what happened believing Josslyn has something to do with it. I loved Until I Get You and was excited to read this one. I have to say that Contreras did not disappoint and I really loved every single bit of this book. This story was well written and I loved how the mystery and the romance was such a perfect balance in this book. The pacing was great and I loved the conflicts throughout this story. There’s so much love and betrayal that will make you want more. This story is told from both Finn and Joss’s pov. 

 

Joss is a basketball player and influencer who doesn’t remember what happened the night Mallory died. I really enjoyed her character especially as she deals with mental health and seeing her go with her life with it. The author doesn’t make it disappear which I really liked so it felt natural. Then we have Finn who is obsessed with Joss but doesn’t believe in love. I was obsessed with him and loved how much he cared for Joss. He’s such an amazing guy but also broody and grumpy. There are also amazing side characters in this book and we get a feature of our favorite character from the other book. The romance is one-night stand, he falls first, and grumpy x sunshine with some spicy scenes. 

 

The ending was well done for this book and I really loved how this story ended. The last part of the book was not what I was expecting which I loved. This book was amazing and I loved every single page of it. I recommend checking this book out because you don’t want to miss out.
