The Last Time I Lied

Riley Sager will always remind me exactly why Thriller is my favourite genre.

This was a super interesting read. It was dark and ominous and kept me guessing. I love the way Sager makes the narrator unreliable, it always leaves me wondering if I'm able to trust what the main character is thinking or seeing.

Emma is the perfect example of an unreliable narrator. It's very evident throughout the whole book and made clear from the title that Emma hasn't been completely honest when it comes to the disappearance of her friends fifteen years ago. It's also revealed later on in the story that Emma experiences hallucinations and suffered from a mental episode that left her hospitalised.

There were so many times where I thought I had figured out what had happened or what was going to happen and I was wrong every time. I was not expecting the ending of this book.

The only reason I didn't give this higher than four stars was purely because I felt like I couldn't connect with some of the characters as much as I would've liked.

Overall, I really enjoyed this and would love to revisit it in the future.
