lie to me – kaitlin ward

I can’t tell if the book is queer, but the author is, so on the list it goes. The gist of this book is:
- girl wakes up in hospital with no memories
- girl is told the fall that put her there was an accident but she remembers being pushed
- another girl is found dead near where she fell
- girl is very suspicious of everyone, including her new boyfriend

That’s such a great idea! I definitely loved reading your list and I’m also anticipating Spellhacker, because it sounds intriguing with the magic and dangerous heists! I also had We Used to be Friends on my TBR, but I had no idea that it included a f/f romance, so that’s good to know 😊
Oh I absolutely love this idea! Definitely will be checking back throughout the year to keep on these releases. Thanks for doing this! 🙂
you’re welcome 🙂
