First Lie Wins : Discussion Thread

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.

The identity comes to Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the target: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job.

Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job will be different. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes--especially after what happened last time.

Because the one thing she’s worked her entire life to keep clean, the one identity she could always go back to—her real identity—just walked right into this town. Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there’s still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn't be higher--but then, Evie has always liked a challenge...

I'd previously buddy read this one before it was published but I thought I'd post my thoughts just in case anyone wanted to discuss it!

oooh this one is good so far!

(view spoiler)[ okay, so what's going on?! why do they want Ryan's information? he seems like he's running a mildly shady business

but my guess is she's going to try to work her way OUT of this game. her boss is scary and not someone that just lets one of his employees go. . .

the girl who's arrived with her real name?! how freaky, to see someone who looks close enough to you to impersonate you. I can't even imagine

does this mean the friends that were weary of her don't matter? I wonder what her plan is! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ okay, so what we thought we knew is completely changed!! lol she manipulated Mr. Smith to be on this job

could Ryan be Mr. Smith? No, right? but I DO think Ryan was behind the accident and not Mr. Smith
I also think Ryan knows exactly who she is.

I wonder how helpful Rachel will be.

oh and I love Devon. What a good person to have in your pocket (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ YES! I think Ryan is Mr. Smith. I mean, it makes sense right? He's connected, has more money that anyone due to his black market trading
and he'd love to have secrets

although it does seem like quite a bit of work for him to be juggling and watching these people at the same time he's juggling life. But I wonder if she was his little project, the perfect girl to complete his life (hide spoiler)]

and I'm done!
this one was great!

(view spoiler)[ wow, I completely thought it was Ryan. I'm glad his affection for her was real
I was really shocked when she tried to save the girl pretending to be her but then, when they said she torched the bed - I was like wait, what? So shocked and glad Amy was alive

I liked the ending - Heather and Devon, Amy getting a life

shocked it was "george" (hide spoiler)]

Has anyone else finished reading this book? I thought it would be fun to chat with someone about it.

I have the book at home, but I am on vacation right now. I'll come back on in a few days to start up a discussion if you're still interested.
