Spot on review Wendy! Gone Girl or the Last Flight it was not, that's for sure! 😟
Great review! Sorry you were disappointed! 💞
This is turning out to be a hyped book!! Wish you'd enjoyed the ending, Great review! 🩷
I felt much the same way Wendy. The beginning was so promising for me too. Too bad it got confusing! A good and honest review!
Wendy, like you I didn’t understand the concept of this book either. I was super confused. I also found it odd how “Evie’s” friend Devon fit so flawlessly into the picture everywhere that she went. That was a total eye roll moment for me for sure!! This book is WAY overhyped, and I’m sorry I read it. Terrific review! 💗
Great review Wendy sorry this was disappointing. 💖
I think “first lie wins” refers to her thought process during that lunch with his friends - she has to beat Rachel to the lie. I think?
I’m not going to finish this, I just wanted to see reviews!
Yeah, I agree, the title and the book had nothing much to do with each other. It was like a bait and switch. 😒 I was hoping it would be the main theme of the book, but I guess I was conned as well. 😔
“There’s an old saying: The first lie wins. It’s not referring to the little white kind that tumble out with little to no thought; it refers to the big one. The one that changes the game. The one that is deliberate. The lie that sets the stage for everything that comes after it. And once the lie is told, it’s what most people believe to be true. The first lie has to be the strongest. The most important. The one that has to be told.”
In other words, the first lie must be the game changer and the one that sets up all the little lies to follow.
Hope that adds some clarity for you, Wendy. Sorry this book wasn't your cup of tea.
Thank you, @Teres 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼. I was confused by the comments of not understanding what “The First Lie Wins” means when it was explained in the book.
I didn't get the concept either, thought the explanation in the book was kind of nonsensical. Sonically, though, it has a great ring to it for a title - just think it's a stupid concept.
Semi-spoiler warning!!

Maybe because her first lie(s)was always a false identity. In the end, her lies won because she can no longer be her true identity?
What Teres said! Thank you for your thoughtful and honest review, Wendy. ☺️
This was a DNF for me as the story and characters weren’t engaging or likeable and seemed really juvenile. The plot was implausible and just silly at times. And seriously you can’t try to rehabilitate the character of a con woman by making her be semi nice to the odd person as if she has a conscience. And don’t get me started on her friend Devon - who appears out of nowhere in the story and just happens to be an MIT genius!
It was a waste of the time I did spend on reading the first 200 pages.
