Resumen del Editor

Told in alternating chapters between the past and the present, L. E. Flynn's Last Girl Lied To is a gripping, emotional YA thriller about a teenage girl investigating the disappearance of her best friend.

Something made him angry that night.

Something made her cry.

Something made Trixie disappear.

What if it was all the same thing?

Fiona claims she doesn’t remember anything about the night her best friend left a party early and walked into the ocean. But the truth is, she wishes she could forget.

Trixie’s disappearance is ruled a suicide, but Fiona starts to believe that Trixie isn’t really dead. Piecing together the trail of a girl who doesn't want to be found leads her to Jasper, Trixie’s former friend with benefits, and Beau - the boy who turned Fiona down, who loved someone else, who might be happy Trixie is gone.

The closer Fiona gets to finding out what happened, and the closer she gets to Jasper and Beau, the more she realizes that the girl she knew better than anyone may have been a carefully constructed lie - and she might have been waiting to disappear the entire time.

An Imprint Book

“I can’t lie: Last Girl Lied To is my favorite thriller of 2019. Flynn’s perfectly paced story about a girl who can't trust anyone integrates important subjects, like body image, addiction, and romantic obsession, imaginatively and masterfully. Twisted and delicious.” (Kim Savage, author of In Her Skin)

"A twisty, piercing thriller with an end you won't see coming.” (Mindy McGinnis, author of Female of the Species)

It was good

I liked this book, it kept me entertained. I do believe that the ending could have been a little bit better. It wasn’t much of a mystery but still not a horrible book

Amazing! Def recommend!

So many emotions! I love the story and the narrator is fantastic! She makes different voices for each character and seems to feel every line. A truly phenomenal job. The story combines all the emotions a teenager faces and invites you to feel them all too.

Great narration

3.5 STARS

Fiona’s best friend Trixie commits suicide a year after Toby, a popular jock chose the same manner of death. Soon Fiona imagines they’re both alive with new identities. Her longtime crush Beau, Toby’s brother, is in a seemingly permanent alcoholic stupor so Fiona turns to Jasper, Trixie’s friend with benefits. Fiona soon begins to suspect she never really knew her friend.

LAST GIRL LIED TO is filled with liars, those who tell big lies, those who tell small ones. Fiona constantly makes poor choices and doesn’t see people for who they are. She wasn’t always kind, was rarely honest, had terrible communication skills, but was also a young woman in a lot of pain. She stuffed her feelings with food and shunned support.

I enjoyed L E Flynn’s writing style, but the pace was a bit slow. More mystery than thriller, LAST GIRL LIED TO is enjoyable and touches on important issues like unhealthy relationships, substance abuse, friendship and family.

ETA: I also enjoyed the audiobook. The narrator is so good, her dialogue sounds like different people/genders speaking.
