Book Review: Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata

Blurb:

The problem with secrets is that they’re too easy to keep collecting.

Luna Allen has done some things she would rather no one ever know about. She also knows that, if she could go back in time, she wouldn’t change a single thing.

With three sisters she loves, a job she (mostly) adores, and a family built up of friends she’s made over the years, Luna figures everything has worked out the way it was supposed to.

But when one of those secrets involves the man who signs her paycheck, she can’t find it in her to regret it. Despite the fact that he’s not the friendliest man in the world. Or the most patient.

Sometimes there are things you’re better off keeping to yourself.

My Thoughts:

Quite a long, slow-burning romance, but definitely one that kept me hooked. The dogs woke me up at 4 a.m. to try and convince me it was breakfast time (which it definitely was not) but I couldn't get back to sleep again, so I thought I’d read a few pages, and eight hours later… 

Luna was a character I really rooted for. The story’s written from her point of view, and you get right into her head. Ripley was a huge dick at first, and still a little dickish towards the end, but he did redeem himself. While I did guess the plot twists in advance, by then I was so invested in the characters and the story I didn't really care.
