The book opens just after the murder of Remy’s boyfriend, Jack, with her best friend/ soulmate Elise being the one who pulled the trigger. The Best Lies takes this trope and twists it into something gruelingly real and dangerous, showing just how toxic some friendships can become. One of my favourite tropes to read about in books is the sick, pining friendship, and I’ve only really imagined it from the person who’s pining. If you’ve ever wanted to know about the other side of obsessive friendship, this is the book you need. Was it self-defense? Or something deeper, darker than anything Remy could have imagined? As the police investigate, Remy does the same, sifting through her own memories, looking for a scrap of truth that could save the friendship that means everything to her. Remy had her boyfriend Jack, and Elise, her best friend-her soulmate-who understood her better than anyone else in the world.īut now Jack is dead, shot through the chest. But now, she doesn’t even know what tomorrow will look like. Remy Tsai used to know how her story would turn out.
