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.

A very dry boring book. The TV show is more interesting then the book. Still looking forward to season 2.

Not as interesting as I thought

This just went on and on and on. No story, it was painful. I even turned the speed up to just finish it. Was hoping something might happen but it didn't. Such a colossal waste of my time.

The worst

I read this after watching the series on tv. It’s completely different in so many ways. Disappointing. I was thinking I would enjoy the book, which is usually better than a tv series. Not in this case.

Not like the TV series at all

This was very hard to finish and I found myself rolling my eyes throughout the story. Stephen is everything that is wrong with men these days. Lucy a train wreck. Pathetic

Hate-able characters

Watched the TV show and was excited to read the book. Story is very boring and repetitive.
