A review by home_in_books
Lies Like Wildfire by Jennifer Lynn Alvarez

fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Overall, I enjoyed my experience with this book, but, even though I finished it only a couple weeks ago, I have already forgotten most of the plot. In fact, I think that this is a perfect summer read to binge in a single day, but not necessarily one that will stick with you for long. 
In addition, I found some plot twist a little predictable and the general story very average. 
What actually entertained me the most is probably the exploration of the toxic group of friends that we follow as main characters. 
I would recommend this book when looking for a fast paced and no-brain mystery to get out of a reading slump, since the writing style flows really well and easily.
