Heart-Shaped Lies by Elizabeth Agyemang

3.0

This book had some great points. I think that this book nailed what it is to be a teenager. It was so great how the characters all felt so real. I could totally see kids acting the way they did in this book. I feel that sometimes it’s hard to write this age group and get it so spot on, but this author did a fantastic job. Despite nailing the writing of the teenagers, I really couldn’t get into this book like I prefer. I love YA books; I usually find something I connect to the characters with despite our age difference. However, that was not the case here. The male main character was insufferable and just a piece of work. The female character wasn’t all that great either. However, the mystery of the book was good and kept me guessing. There were a lot of details though, which was hard because like I said I struggled to get into the book. It was a mixed bag for me. Not entirely without joy, but not the normal amount I prefer from a book.


Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this e-arc. All thoughts are my own.
