Melissa, the article is a think piece on the Zika virus and the state of tropical vacationing right now. It has nothing to do with my stance on Cabo hotels. It’s not even about Cabo. I only mentioned the other hotel because there was an outbreak there. It’s not even good press for the resort.”

I also hated the characters' continuous drug use and partying. If they weren't looking to hook up with someone, they were snorting something up their nose, sometimes both. The whole story revolved around these things, rather than any exciting events. It became repetitive and boring. I know college life for many young adults includes the same subjects, but these things simply do not interest me in the least. This book is read with alternating POVs between Lucy and Stephen. We start off in present time but most of the novel is in the past during their college years. Lucy tries to move on after the death of a new friend by accepting Stephen's invitation to go on a date. Stephen has secrets. Things he doesn’t want anyone to know. The night he meets Lucy, Stephen is drinking to get rid of the anxiety that often creeps up on him…reminding him of THAT night. Lucy Albright has no idea what she's in for when she lets Stephen DeMarco into her life when she's a freshman in college. He's attractive but not all that, but he knows how to appeal to women. In fact, he makes a study of it, deliberately creating a persona that his target young lady will like ... and lying ruthlessly and without conscience. Mostly so he can juggle several different sexual relationships at the same time. Sex and money are his only real cares - well, along with alcohol and drugs. And both Stephen and Lucy have secrets they're hiding.Nope! Years later, Lucy sees Stephen with his fiancée at Bree's wedding. Of course, he still follows Lucy afterward to flirt. Thankfully, Lucy isn't interested anymore, asking him instead if he knew Macy Peterson. He lies, telling her he doesn't recognize the name. Lucy walks away, finally feeling freed from her feelings for Stephen. How Does "Tell Me Lies" End? It lasted another year and a half after college—all these things remained true, even when we moved in together and it ended shortly after he joined the Army (that's a whole other can of worms) and there was no way in hell we'd be stationed together. He had never had a girlfriend older than 25—and I had just turned 24. He was 35. He'd been looking for an out for a while, I know that now. Any out. He saw something on my computer and accused me of cheating (I hadn't, not even close—but I'm 95% certain he had). I was looking for a way to stay together, because I thought we could make it work. And then don't get me started with Lucy. She is so superficial and all she cares about is trying new drugs like weed and cocaine and losing weight and achieving a thigh gap, but then she doesn't want to date guys that look a certain way and she's super judge-y and hypocritical and ughhhhh.

I'm pretty satisfied with how it all came together although part of me wishes things ended a little differently. I really wanted a couple of things…sorted out. But we can’t always have what we want and like I mentioned at the beginning, I was still addicted to this story, unable to put it down.
