Tell Me Lies | Carola Lovering | 4.5 ⭐️

I watched a girl’s review of this book on TikTok and she was shitting on it so hard and someone commented that she just doesn’t get it cause she’s never had a Stephen DeMarco and her response was cause “she would never go for a Stephen DeMarco” and I think that is the most bullshit response I’ve ever heard.

DeMarco is a the worst character ever. He is an awful person and he absolutely sucks. But no one CHOOSES to be with a DeMarco. The way his brain works he can manipulate almost anyone into doing what he wants and regardless of whether or not you think you’re better than someone else for “not going for him”, anyone can get trapped in that love spell. Especially a college freshman girl. It was just the fucking dumbest thing I’ve ever heard like shut up lol

Anyway, the book was amazing. I can’t wait to watch the show. I hate Stephen and it killed me to see Lucy go back every single time but I get it. It was heart wrenching and insane behavior but when you’re in it, there is no seeing clearly. You see DeMarco and that’s it. It was so accurate and even if you can’t personally relate to it, people actually go through that shit. It’s literally dedicated to her mom (the original Lucy). It’s not supposed to be a dark and mysterious dude with a bad past. It’s real life and he’s really a sociopath and she really was in love even though there were a million red flags and signs and patterns that proved to everyone around her how terrible he was. Even his friends knew!

It was a great book and I loved the dual POV and the dual timelines, I thought it really enveloped me into the story even more being able to see his thought process. Loved it.

Bye, Baby

Title: Bye, Baby Author: Carola Lovering Genre: thriller I HATED the characters in this book. The story is about two childhood friends, Billie and Cassie, and how their lives diverged. I guess I was supposed to be sympathetic to Billie because she’s not evil, but her neediness and desperation were so off-putting. And Cassie is an influencer, and I hated her from page one. Billie is desperate…

Obsesie (recenzie)

Molly simți cum corpul îi devine rigid, iar celulele îi îngheață de șoc. Inima îi zvâcnea atât de tare în piept, încât putea auzi cum îi bătea sângele în urechi. Nu se putea să fie adevărat. Avea un coșmar? Îi venea să strige, să urle, dar rămăsese înțepenită. Nu putea scoate niciun sunet. Autor: Carola Lovering Număr pagini: 472 An apariție: 2022 Editura: Niculescu Traducere: Maria –…

REVIEW: Bye,Baby by Carola Lovering

5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

**Thank you so much to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read the digital advanced reader copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review!**

I couldn't put this down. From the beginning to the end of the story, I was invested. It was truly suspenseful, yet not what I had anticipated. I initially considered giving this book 4 stars due to that, but later changed it to 5. It was an addictive and excellent read. I loved it and thought about it all night.

Cassie and Billie, lifelong best friends, found themselves growing apart after Cassie's marriage and the birth of her child. Billie, hurt by Cassie's changed behavior, impulsively takes an action that profoundly alters the trajectory of their friendship.

This book had me at the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting the twists and turns. I was in a constant state of anticipation and couldn't predict the outcome. Even though the story didn't unfold as I expected, the conclusion brought peace & closure for both characters. I also really liked the way Bye, Baby was used in relationship to the event with Ella, but also Cassie & Billie's love for Dirty Dancing.

Among the characters, Billie resonated with me the most. Her pain felt relatable, considering the trials she had faced in her youth. I also admired her firm stance on not wanting to become a mother, and her commitment to this decision. Her intentions were always rooted in love and the deep bond she shared with Cassie, which Cassie seemingly disregarded thoughtlessly. I feel like Billie also felt like she owed Cassie a debt due to what she had done for her when they were younger. On the contrary, Cassie's demeanor grated on me from the outset. Despite her affection for Billie, her perception of a successful life, coupled with her privileged status, overshadowed life's more meaningful aspects—until her own daughter came into the picture.

Overall, Bye, Baby was a great read for me. I will pick up more from Carola Lovering in the future. I already watched the tv adaptation of Tell Me Lies and loved it!!

GoodReads Synopsis:

Skye Starling is overjoyed when her boyfriend, Burke Michaels, proposes after a whirlwind courtship. Though Skye seems to have the world at her fingertips―she’s smart, beautiful, and from a well-off family―she’s also battled crippling OCD ever since her mother’s death when she was eleven, and her romantic relationships have suffered as a result.

But now Burke―handsome, older, and more emotionally mature than any man she’s met before―says he wants her. Forever. Except, Burke isn’t who he claims to be. And interspersed letters to his therapist reveal the truth: he’s happily married, and using Skye for his own, deceptive ends.

In a third perspective, set thirty years earlier, a scrappy seventeen-year-old named Heather is determined to end things with Burke, a local bad boy, and make a better life for herself in New York City. But can her adolescent love stay firmly in her past―or will he find his way into her future?

On a collision course she doesn’t see coming, Skye throws herself into wedding planning, as Burke’s scheme grows ever more twisted. But of course, even the best-laid plans can go astray. And just when you think you know where this story is going, you’ll discover that there’s more than one way to spin the truth.

My Review:

WHAAAT?!

Everything about this story was off the rails. Skye is way too young t be dealing with Burke, I don't care how handsome he is. She should be enjoying her young-adult life and not worrying about marrying this man with a questionable background.

Heather is crazy. Period. She reeks of jealousy and disdain for how her life turned out. Jeez, build a bridge and get over it, or better yet, go to therapy. Yes, that is what everyone in this book needs, professional treatment.

Once the whole plan begins to unravel and it's clear who's pulling the coat strings, the whole story picks up and starts moving really fast. I can't say that I blame Heather for her feelings but good lordt, her actions were horrible.

One-Word Summary: DAMN!
