The Liar’s Girl was my introduction to Catherine Ryan Howard.
I was looking forward to reading this book because it was nominated for the Edgar Award in 2019. Also I was keen on digging in a book set in Dublin, Ireland and by an Irish author.
The book also had rave reviews from the book community so I was eager to read it to see if it would live up to its hype.
