The Best Lies follows Remy Tsai’s life over a couple of months. I can feel that invisible push and pull whenever she’s near, like she is a star and I am a captured object. The end picked up a little bit, but it couldn’t make up for the slow pace and repetitive scenes and conversations that plague this book. I almost DNF’d at 50%, when the pace of the book was still moving at an almost glacial speed, but wanted to see it to the end. What could have been a twisty and dark story about toxic female friendships and how that can boil over into terrible consequences is more bark than bite. The Best Lies by Sarah Lyu is another YA thriller that is full of potential but fails to execute on its premise. We were a galaxy unto ourselves, a million stars blazing and bright. We were a forest fire, wild and full of rage. Told in alternating timelines, Thelma and Louise meets Gone Girl in this twisted psychological thriller about the dark side of obsessive friendship. Was it self-defense? Or something deeper, darker than anything Remy could have imagined? As the police investigate, Remy does the same, sifting through her own memories, looking for a scrap of truth that could save the friendship that means everything to her. Remy had her boyfriend Jack, and Elise, her best friend-her soulmate-who understood her better than anyone else in the world.īut now Jack is dead, shot through the chest. But now, she doesn’t even know what tomorrow will look like. Remy Tsai used to know how her story would turn out.
