First Lie Wins: Reese's Book Club: A Novel
REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK | #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“This fast-paced read has everything you could want in a thriller: secret identities, a mysterious boss and a cat & mouse game that kept me guessing the whole way through.” —Reese Witherspoon
Evie Porter has everything a nice Southern girl could want: a doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence, a tight group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.
The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss, Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job.
Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job isn't like the others. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes—especially after what happened last time.
Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there's still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn't be higher—but then, Evie has always liked a challenge. . . .

At first when I started this book I couldn’t get into it. I but it down for a couple of weeks. I picked it up again I kept on reading and I was hooked. It kept me on my edge of my seat and want to know what happens next. I recommend this book
Enjoyed this story and couldn’t put it down. Mr. Smith the mysterious boss gives Evia assignments targeting people for money, after he discovers she has been stealing jewelry at parties. After finding out that her mother was dying from cancer, Evia was trying to make money for her mother’s medicine.
One of the jobs Mr. Smith gives Evia was to target Ryan Summer, who she falls in love with. As the story goes along we don’t know who we can trust.
This book would make a great Bookclub read, with all the twist and turns you don’t know where the story will lead you. When you get to the end of the book you’re not sure you didn’t miss a crucial part of the story.
