LIES MY GIRLFRIEND TOLD ME was enjoyable in spurts. There was always something lingering in the background that made me think the story would take a dark turn, but that assumption was only partially fulfilled. Yes, Julie Anne Peters gives her readers a few surprises, and those surprises were great, but I was hoping for more. The climax seemed to emerge around the middle of the story, while the rest mostly fizzled out. That being said, I liked the growth of Alix's character, and I liked the realistic portrayal of how everyone deals with death in their own way.
Stars: 3/5
