Narrative To Books Tell Me Lies

I cannot enjoy a story where the major plot events are based on heroine stupidity.

Tell Me Lies had five major stupidities. Here are two of them.

Maddie knows a security guard watches couples having sex at a place called The Point. So why does she insist that CL take her there to have sex? When the guard sees them, she is horrified. She is worried that he will gossip and she may have trouble getting custody of her daughter in the divorce. Apparently I am supposed to believe she had been drinking and forgot about the security guard.

Maddie is a suspect in the murder of her husband. Someone planted the murder weapon (gun) in her car. When she sees it, she picks it up which puts her fingerprints on it.

Stupidity is the main reason I did not give it more stars. But a second reason was “the heroine lying to her daughter and others” was not interesting. Her husband is having an affair and a divorce is coming. But Maddie tells her daughter that everything is fine. Her habit is telling lies to her daughter. Toward the end the daughter is upset at all the lies, so Maddie promises to be truthful. But after this sweet connection, she tells more lies to her daughter. For example someone was hired to hit Maddie’s car, but Maddie tells her daughter it was an accident, not intentional. The daughter asks if Maddie is going to marry CL. Maddie says no. The reader knows they will marry.

Another lie was everyone “knew” her husband hit her, but she continued to say she ran into a wall. On balance, the lies were not interesting or entertaining - to me.

Another reader liked this book and commented to me “her insecurity, stupidity, impulsiveness, closeness to her mother and grandmother, obliviousness to her husband, et al make her a three-dimensional person.” So some will like this.

I’ve read this twice, in 2007 and 2012.

I admit it was a little drawn out but I liked it. It was comically refreshing. I was fooled by the mystery of who dunnit!

I always know that a book by Jennifer Crusie will not let me down. There is so much going on in this book that you have no idea which way is up. The reader literally has all the clues to solve the mystery but it really isn't until the MC starts to make connections that you are like "it was in front of my face the whole time". I enjoyed the story line and the little mystery (even though it it technically chic-lit). Overall a good read.

This book is FOREVER long. Full of way too much stuff and random details and just too much filler. And DL is weirdly pushy and it isn't cute or romantic at all! It's creepy!And also, wth is up with the completely unnecessary Emily chapters?! Trying to suck out some sympathy for Brent? Showing parallels between Em/Mel and Maddie/Treva? Imo, they were completely extraneous.

I should have gone with my first impulse and skipped that one...It starts with Maddie, the heroine, finding crochless panties in her husband's car. He had been unfaithful before, but she'd allowed him to convince her to forgive him, but this time she is determined to divorce him.Turns out he has also been (view spoiler)[embezzling money from his company and swindling people, and screwing over everyone, from his wife and business partners, to his mistress (hide spoiler)].Enter CL, the hero, who



Not my favorite novel by Crusie - but still an enjoyable read.
