Mʏ Tʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs
Although I liked the story, I didn’t connect with the characters. I found Nate to be an ass and wanted to root for Maggie, but she was not the most discerning person either. After being lied to by Nate and others close to her, she ends up in a lie herself.
After Nate, in a confused and sad state, Maggie engages in other relationships as a bit of a rebound. Unfortunately, she manages to get hurt again and hurt others during this attempt to bounce back to normal.
Love the Way They Lie is a good read, filled with angst and lies. The characters do have good characteristics but overall come across as flawed. However, one delightful character throughout the book is Maggie’s dog. It will put a smile on your face for sure!
