Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata

Luna and the Lie

by Mariana Zapata

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.

YES!
+Age gape! Rip is 15 years older than Luna!
+Luna is a mechanic!
+In fact, Luna in general surprised me. She had a terrible childhood, but she's not angsty and bitter and blaming every bad thing that happens to her on that. She's actually very nice and positive. She's constantly reminding herself that she has everything she needs, and she's always helping others.
+I got oddly attached to everyone...

NO!
-Crazy boring first chapters. Like...they serve almost no purpose except to take up space?
-It's sooo slow and long! But I wanted to know why Rip owed Luna a favor! And what is this "lie"?!?! She kept bringing both things up but never any specifics, which is annoying, frustrating, and seemed unrealistic. If you think about something that much, real memories will surface not just vagueness. We kind of find out the basics at 38%, which is forever in a 600 page book.
-Not enough kissing or sexytimes. Or romance in general.
