Little Lies (edição: 2020)

I loved it. I read it in a day, could not stop. I felt so many times that my own anxiety was on the page in front of me and it felt so gratifying to see a side of me that isn't usually found in romance. ( )

Oh Helena I don't even know where to begin. I have to say that when you warned us that this book was going to be different and angsty I was a little scared. I felt like I needed some rom-com to keep my spirits up since the world around us seems to stay in chaos, but I was wrong. We met these two when they were children and you whetted our appetite and I wanted to know more, especially since Lavender captured my heart and attention in Queenie and Kingston's book, I wanted to know her story, and what a story it was. These two were beautifully broken, different and due to that dependency and special kind of connection, they both needed the space to be able to grow and know who they were and that they could stand on that their own. At first I wasn't sure about Kodi but hearing his thoughts and knowing that he himself was suffering and hurting not only Lavender but himself. And then there is Lavender this poor girl got bullied everywhere she went and I was so proud of the young woman she became regardless of that. I loved reading how her brothers were protective of her, and her cousins. I need more from the rest of the kids..And thank you for bringing some of the cast back , I loved seeing Violet as a mother and such a good and sweet mother I was proud of her. And Alex we knew he would be over protective but the love he had for his kids, huh just made my heart swell, I swear i had to remind myself that this was fiction, but starting from the very beginning with Pucked I felt like we were part of the family..Thanks Helena you did a great job!
