The Lies I Tell Book Review Novels & Stories

On our wedding day, my fiancée and brother died in a tragic crash, and the shock left my mother completely bedridden. Everyone blamed me, saying I brought misfortune and death to everyone around me. However, I didn't even have time to grieve. I worked myself to the bone, hauling concrete at construction sites by day and delivering food by night, just to afford my mother's medical bills. Then came the day I took a side job wearing a mascot suit for a grand opening event. One employee mentioned, "Our boss is super rich and handsome, and his wife is so sweet. Their family is so loving. They even rescue stray cats and dogs all the time!" I stayed quiet, only worried about whether I'd make it

“They may be more sympathetic towards that spin on it.” “It’s a lie,” Aislen started shaking her head. “Lies are dangerous because they can easily be proven as being lies, and once exposed, everything we say would then be open for debate. If we lie, we win the war for the Van Helsings. I say the Van Helsings let the cat out of the bag, it’s not our job to stuff it back in there, but rather to win the war against them.”

Like poison. I knew deep down that she was lying about at least some of what she told me. But was any of what she said true? So much of what she said answered questions that I had. Was she such a good storyteller that she could identify questions that I never asked and answer them with stories that were 100% lies? Was anyone that good? I didn’t know. All I knew was that I trusted Leo. And I felt safe with him. And I loved him. Goddess, did I love him.

Ines leaned against the doorframe, a file folder tucked under one arm, the faintest smirk playing at her lips. “Half-truths are safer than full ones,” Liora said. Ines stepped inside, closing the door behind her. “They’re safer until they rot.” “Meaning?” “Lies are like tumors,” Ines said. “They grow. They eat through everything until there’s nothing left but the thing you were trying to hide.” “Then what? I’m supposed to hand him everything? Put it all in his lap and hope he doesn’t crush it?” “I didn’t say that,” Ines replied. She came closer, her heels silent on the carpet. “I said you have a choice. You can cut it out now, while you still control the knife… Or you wait and let it spread

I had made numerous decisions, but the groundwork was no longer stable. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move. I always thought the memories of my family falling, of me changing, were the only things I could trust. But now… it all felt like a lie. All my life, I had trusted my own story and my identity but it turns out it was built on lies. Truth had never really been revealed in me. With my eyes shut, I attempted to erase the memories, but it felt like I had been locked in a dream. “Fabian

I could not expect anything good from her at all. "Of course, she said that so her freak daughter could have one man in this city who would not think that her daughter is a freak. My mom lied to you, Mr Rodriguez. What you are calling "some fantasy stories," they are the actual life events. Everything that is written in this diary is based on the true events of my life." I spoke in an annoyed tone while looking into his eyes. But after hearing my answer, instead of getting shocked, he laughed out loud. I rolled my eyes at him because I knew how good my mom was at lying. "You can say whatever you want to say. I am not going to believe in your stories. These are just stories. They can not be t

“I’ve been with you for six years, and you don’t trust me? Why hand me over to someone else without a word? “Lilian is lying to you. She’s framing me…” I forced my expression to look sincere. He crouched down in front of me, fingertips brushing my cheek with a gentleness that felt almost like comforting a lover. “Eliza, I can’t believe I feel for you.” He sighed. “You know how much I hate being lied to.” Slowly, his hand moved to my neck, tightening little by little. I struggled to breathe, staring into his eyes. It was like an endless black abyss, hiding a bloodthirsty beast.

For a moment, I wanted to open up again, but I know that's not what I am going to do, ever again. My head was placed on her right shoulder, hiding my hurtful expressions, "You don't need to worry so much. I look after myself well, just like you asked me to." I lied feeling guilty. But I try to look after myself. I do, I really do try. Maybe that was just a justification for my lie She pulled apart from me and looked at me, like she knows, I am lying but didn't question me further about it. I felt horrible. I am lying alot these days, lying to people, to friends, to the one's I care about and to myself.

I ask him, confused about what game this is that he is playing. “I needed to know how you felt about me.” He says, confusing me even more. How could I make it any clearer than literally writing a book where I sell out every emotion I felt for him? “What do you..” It dawns on me that he has been lying to me again. This whole time, I thought he knew how I felt, because he said he had read the book and stupidly, I took him for his word. What was I thinking? This is the same man that pretended to be fucking Jack Dawson, this is the same man that had refused to tell me who he was and probably never would’ve come clean to me, had I not told him that I knew exactly who he was. This is the man that
