First Lie Wins by Elton is a Reese's Book Club pick that delivers suspense, intrigue, and a protagonist you can't help but root for.

The novel follows Lucca Marino (aka Evie Porter), a con artist under the control of her mysterious handler, Mr. Smith. The story is packed with twists, keeping readers guessing until the very end.

Many reviewers praised the fast-paced writing and unpredictable plot. One reader called it "a delightful read to unpack" due to its layered mysteries and morally ambiguous characters.

However, some found the multiple aliases and time jumps confusing at first. While the beginning may feel slow for some, most agreed it picks up significantly by Chapter 7.

The character development stands out - Lucca/Evie is smart, dangerous, yet sympathetic in her quest for a normal life. The cat-and-mouse dynamic with Mr. Smith adds constant tension.

With an average rating of 4+ stars from over 80k reviews, this is clearly a crowd-pleaser. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers looking for their next addictive read.
