Review: THE PERFECT LIAR by Debra Lynch



Meet Rachel Goodman, a famous YouTuber, a vlog instructor, and a rich California girl. But a traumatic event when she was 9 also made her a compulsive thief and a perfect liar. After getting caught stealing a priceless letter opener, she gets caught in a blackmail scheme by the dorky security guard.

 

Story is told in Rachel’s snarky and witty voice, which I enjoyed. Some of the chapters were a little too long, particularly when narrating the video recordings of the yoga show.

 

Part 1 was all about how annoyed Rachel was about the sick, creepy security guard and she was only focused on one thing: Don’t ever blackmail Rachel Goodman. But what Rachel didn’t know was that this creep had more access to her life than she thought.

 

Part 2 recapped the same story from Dennis’ (the security guard) point of view. So basically, we have 2 con artist liars.

 

I gotta say that reading this felt kind of long. In fact, part 1 takes up half the book. I just kept hoping that something eventful or mysterious would happen, so I kept reading. I just got curious to see how this would end seeing that we get a major stand-off between two talented con artists.

 

I’m glad I kept reading because this led to a surprisingly satisfying conclusion. A good read of twin masters trying to outdo each other.
