First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston

I have become a fan of Reese Witherspoon's book club--with this I have read 44 of them, which is a bit more than a third of them, and while I haven't loved every one of them (this one included), I have liked them all and I have not regretted reading them. And here is the clincher--the ones I haven't loved have been books I would have possibly read anyway, finding them through another source, or they are by an author I already knew, but I have found authors I think I would have missed altogether but for her choosing them that I have really loved. So, you kiss a few frogs to find the gems. In this one, which is kind of a thriller but not much of a murder mystery--even though people get killed--the real story is about two damaged people. Evie is moving in with Ryan--she has feelings for him but she is a fake and her goal is to get dirt on him so that her boss can manipulate him. She has done this before, but this time feels different. Something drastic happens and she realizes she needs to change tactics, and it is a reasonably fun ride to the end.
