„All the lies” by Rina Kent
BLURB
When lies become the truth.
My name is Reina Ellis.
Popular.
Beautiful.
Untouchable.
Problem is, I remember none of it.
His name is Asher Carson.
Gorgeous.
Silent.
Dark.
Oh, and my future husband.
He has three rules for me:
I’ll bow.
I’ll break.
I’ll pay for what I’ve done.
Problem is, I don’t remember what I’ve done, but I have a clue.
There was a fire.
A dead girl.
And I was there.
MY OPINION
I’m not a huge fan of Rina Kent, but sometimes I’m in the mood for something that doesn’t require my full attention. “All the Lies” was a perfect fit for that.
“All the Lies” is the first book in the “Lies and Truths Duet”. It’s a relatively short story, at only around 250 pages, so it was a very quick read.
Reina Ellis had everything. She was the most well-known person at school, but not for the right reasons. Her behavior was bitchy, and she was the perfect example of a high school mean girl.
But one day, everything changed. When she woke up in the hospital, her life was completely different from what it had been before.
She has a fiancé, Asher Carson, a handsome, dark, and arrogant guy who seems determined to destroy her life. He has his own reasons for doing so, but nothing goes the way he wants because Reina is now a different person. A good one.
Why has she changed so much? Who is she really?
So... as I mentioned earlier, I picked up this book because I wanted something I could read without using my brain too much. I know how that sounds, but honestly, I just wanted a story that wouldn’t make me overthink the entire plot or constantly try to figure out what was going to happen next.
And when I look at “All the Lies” from that perspective, I can honestly say it fits the bill perfectly.
But when I look deeper into the story and its characters, I have to say that this book is about... well, pretty much nothing.
The characters aren't well-developed, the plot is flat, and all the secrets feel completely pointless.
I wouldn’t call this a bad book because, in the end, I did get some enjoyment out of reading it (especially when I finished it). However, I don’t see anything here worth admiring or anything that would make me a huge fan of this duet.
And yes, I read the second book as well because I wanted to find out all the things that were kept secret in this one.
But even after that, “All the Lies” is still just a one-time read for me. A book to read and forget.
Would I recommend it?
No.
But if you have some free time and are looking for a quick read that doesn’t require much attention to detail, Asher and Reina’s story is waiting for you.
