Tell Me Lies
by Carola Lovering
Tell Me Lies pulls you into the magnetic, utterly unhealthy entanglement between Lucy and Stephen, starting the moment they meet in college. It’s a story about that one person who gets under your skin, the one you know is bad for you but can’t seem to shake. Carola Lovering crafts a dark, emotionally intense ride, alternating perspectives as their relationship twists through years of secrets, betrayals, and an undeniable, destructive pull. Reading it feels like being a fly on the wall, witnessing a slow-burn disaster unfold, unable to intervene. This is for readers who crave a deep dive into the psychology of toxic love, enjoy a morally ambiguous cast, and aren't afraid of a story that feels both thrilling and unsettlingly real.
