Wow, The Lying Season was quite a ride. I don't even know how to begin.
Larkin is an amazing character, she's passionate about helping people she respects get elected and she's a deputy campaign manager trying to get Mayor Kensington reelected. She works like crazy even though her family is very wealthy and she could have chosen a different life, an easier life that her controlling family wanted her to be living but that couldn't be further from what she wants. She treats her friends like family and she's been burned before when it comes to love. Including by Sam. They had a relationship 5 years ago that didn't end well. So, Lark is blindsided when she learns that Sam is now an attorney and he has been hired to work in the legal department. Sam is blindsided too since he always thought Lark would be working for her parents in their multibilion-dollar company. Now, they have to see each other every day...
I loved Lark's gang! They are the funniest, most dysfunctional gang EVER but their friendship certainly shines through, I laughed a lot in the moments they were together and there were a LOT of intense moments. I really liked Lark and Sam together, there's a lot of chemistry there but also a lot of misunderstandings and not so perfect moments that weighted between them. There were a moment or two when I was actually thinking they weren't very good to each other in the past which made me doubt a little about that second chance, but K. A. Linde didn't need much time to change my mind. I definitely enjoyed their story however I do feel there were a lot of “upper east side type of people” mentions in a depreciative way, I kind of get where Lark was coming from but it still felt a bit much at times. Still, I'm addicted to this Upper East Side world and I really, really NEED to read English and Court's story (so, so, so intense together!) and I can't wait to get my hands on Katherine and Camden's story too!
