Description

Now an original series on Hulu! Season 3 airing now!

“A twisted modern love story” (Parade), Tell Me Lies is a sexy, thrilling novel about that one person who still haunts you—the other one. The wrong one. The one you couldn’t let go of. The one you’ll never forget.

Lucy Albright is far from her Long Island upbringing when she arrives on the campus of her small California college and happy to be hundreds of miles from her mother—whom she’s never forgiven for an act of betrayal in her early teen years. Quickly grasping at her fresh start, Lucy embraces college life and all it has to offer. And then she meets Stephen DeMarco. Charming. Attractive. Complicated. Devastating.

Confident and cocksure, Stephen sees something in Lucy that no one else has, and she’s quickly seduced by this vision of herself, and the sense of possibility that his attention brings her. Meanwhile, Stephen is determined to forget an incident buried in his past that, if exposed, could ruin him, and his single-minded drive for success extends to winning, and keeping, Lucy’s heart.

Lucy knows there’s something about Stephen that isn’t to be trusted. Stephen knows Lucy can’t tear herself away. And their addicting entanglement will have consequences they never could have imagined.

Alternating between Lucy’s and Stephen’s voices, Tell Me Lies follows their connection through college and post-college life in New York City. “Readers will be enraptured” (Booklist) by the “unforgettable beauties in this very sexy story” (Kirkus Review). With the psychological insight and biting wit of Luckiest Girl Alive, and the yearning ambitions and desires of Sweetbitter, this keenly intelligent and supremely resonant novel chronicles the exhilaration and dilemmas of young adulthood and the difficulty of letting go—even when you know you should.

    The book came first, okay. Look i get it, the show is sexy, dramatic, & has that dark toxic fantasy quality everyone jumps on. The book is REAL & delves into the mindset of these two characters, more than their actions. That’s what makes it hard to translate to film & why Hulu changed a million things. If they made show stephen like book stephen, the audience would have a stomachache. It wouldn’t be sexy. The book isn’t trying to be sexy. The book is relatable & i would suggest ALL YA women give it a read. Most of us have been Lucy.

  • The show is better

    I only picked up the book because I couldn’t wait for another episode release…but the writing is poor and the story does not pull you in. I recommend skipping this and just watching the show.

  • Nothing like the series

    If you are here because you want more of the series type drama I have to be honest and say it’s nothing like the series. Not a terrible book, but the series is much better! Don’t waste your time IMO!

  • Couldn’t put down!

  • Book & Tv Show are two different stories, in a good way.

    Okay, I’ll admit it, I watched the show first. The show is great because the rewrites turn it into a completely different story with the same character names. Definitely 10/10 recommend the show. As for the book, just as good but in a different way. The book is more relatable and it is a page turner. I finished this book in 2 days, I absolutely loved the story and the way the book was written with both Stephens & Lucy’s sides of the story. Unfortunately, I felt the ending was rushed. Didn’t love how Macy’s storyline ended (wanted more from stephen in that department) and felt like we could’ve gotten more from Stephens and Lucy’s relationship as well. Overall 8.5/10 book, would recommend.

    El lo olvido El se olvido de quien era, quien era Su mente cedió y colapso en un ataque de ira Daño causo a su alrededor pues nadie entendia Se encerro en su propia prision Que pena, Que pena Solo quedo hasta viejo llego y se murio se suicido

  • if you’re thinking of reading this because you loved the show…don’t
