Book Playlist: Love Me With Lies by Tarryn Fisher

           

Love Me With Lies Series

I finished reading Thief last night and I'm still experiencing the post-Tarryn-Fisher sickness––meaning it still courses through my thoughts and I can't seem to move on. I love this series no matter how much it hurt me to the point of making me cry then force me to love it again because of the beauty and reality of it all. It was like that, a cycle...a never ending cycle of love and hate, of trust and lies that render me speechless. The characters are flawed but those are what makes them real and the emotions raw. Man, I hate to say goodbye to the characters I grew to love and hate most especially to Caleb and Olivia so I've decided to create a playlist for their unconventional love story . I'm trying to embed a playlist, however, I don't know what's wrong because it doesn't work so I've listed them instead and highlight the lyrics which I think describe this series the most. 

1. I Won't Lie – Go Radio

 If I could take it all back

I could make it all right

You could be the best part of my life

I can tell you all night that I wanna be

The man I'm supposed to be

That...

I won't lie

I've waited a million hours just to say that

I will die if you leave me

You are the way my heart beats

And you are the words my tongue speaks

And I will die if you leave me

2. Time-Bomb – All Time Low

Got my heart in your hands
Like a time bomb ticking

It goes off, we start again

If it breaks, we fix it

Got your heart in my hands

Like a time bomb ticking

We should know better

But we won't let go

It was like a time bomb
Set it in motion

We knew that we were

Destined to explode

(Destined to explode)

And if I have to pull you

Out of the wreckage

You know I'm never gonna let you go

3. Wait for You –– Elliott Yamin

What will it take to make you come back?

Girl, I told you what it is and it just ain't like that

No, why can't you look at me? You're still in love with me

Don't leave me crying

Baby, why can't we just, just start over again?

Get it back to the way it was

If you give me a chance I can love you right

But you're telling me it won't be enough

So baby, I will wait for you

'Cause I don't know what else I can do

Don't tell me I ran out of time

If it takes the rest of my life

4. I Must Be Dreaming –– The Maine

Tell me that you love me.

And it'll be alright.

Are you thinking of me?

Just come with me tonight.

You know I need you.

Just like you need me.

Can't stop, Won't stop.

I must be dreaming.

5. When 3's A Crowd –– A Day To Remember

So here we are again, in the same situation

I'm screaming at the top of my lungs and you're not saying a word

Did you just say what you mean?

Why can't you just mean what you said

When you said "No one can love you like me?"

These past four walls won't be the only thing that's keeping me from you

This distance could never hold this back (I need you)

So let's just take this time and we'll use this for reflection

And I'll see you in three days

And you'll think of me when you're next to him

Well that's a wrap up for my first book playlist! ;)

Here are snippets of my favourite quotes from the three books:

"Life does not accommodate you, it shatters you. Love is mean, but it's good. It keeps us alive."

–Thief

“Love is illogical. You fall into it like a manhole. Then you're just stuck. You die in love more than you live in love.”

–Dirty Red

"I think that after the first time you give your heart away, you never get it back. The rest of your life is just you pretending that you still have a heart."

–The Opportunist

Remember When by T. Torrest

Paperback: 262 pages

Release Date: January 1st 2013

Blurb:

Ever wonder how often Brad Pitt’s high school girlfriend must ponder jumping off a bridge? Ever think about the girl that had her hooks in George Clooney before he took off for TV stardom? How about Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex, or Johnny Depp’s first groupie, or any number of young women who got left behind when their boyfriends set off for greener pastures and eventually achieved unfathomable Hollywood fame?

My name is Layla Warren and I don’t need to wonder about any of those things. I already know. Because years before Trip Wiley could be seen on movie screens all over the world, he could be seen sitting in the desk behind me in my high school English class.

This was back in 1990, and I cite the year only to avoid dumbfounding you when references to big hair or stretch pants are mentioned. Although, come to think of it, I am from New Jersey, which may serve as explanation enough. We were teenagers then, way back in a time before anyone could even dream he’d turn into the Hollywood commodity that he is today.

In case you live under a rock and don't know who Trip Wiley is, just know that these days, he’s the actor found at the top of every casting director’s wish list. He’s incredibly talented and insanely gorgeous, the combination of which has made him very rich, very famous and very desirable.

And not just to casting directors, either.

I can’t confirm any of the gossip from his early years out in Tinseltown, but based on what I knew of his life before he was famous, I can tell you that the idea of Girls-Throwing-Themselves-At-Trip is not a new concept.

I should know. I was one of them.

And my life hasn't been the same since.

Remember When 2 by T.Torrest

Paperback: 200+ pages

Release Date: June 20th 2013

Blurb:

You know how sometimes, your high school crush grows up to be an insanely famous movie star? Okay, probably not. But I do. ~Layla Warren

Back in high school, Trip Wiley’s fanbase only encompassed the denizens of the nothing little suburb of Norman, New Jersey. 

 Ten years later, all that is about to change.

In the summer of 2000, Layla Warren is enjoying her career as a journalist in New York City (well, sort of), while Trip spends most of his time grabbing Hollywood by the balls. In the days before what will turn out to be his skyrocketing fame, they’ll find themselves confronted with some life-altering choices. 

Remember When 2 is the second story in an NA romance trilogy. It will bring you back to that exuberant and riotous time of life in your twenties when you struggled to figure out your place in the world and the person you were meant to be…

…and the person you were meant to be with.

Excerpt

I’d been ripping little pieces off my pretzel and trying to pop them unnoticed into my mouth. I was mid-chew when Rymer reached across the table to grab my stack of napkins. Cleaning sauce off his Oxford, he suddenly decided to switch subjects. “Oh, hey Warren! You meet Trip yet?”

   I was caught off guard enough to almost choke, but luckily, I caught myself. I still had a mouthful of food, so I shielded my lips with my hand and answered as best I could. “Uh huh. We’re in Mason’s together.” Then, I swallowed and was able to nod in Trip’s direction to add casually, “How’s it going?”

   The guys were still laughing at the big, red stain that Rymer was unsuccessfully trying to wipe off his shirt, so Lisa and I were the only ones to absorb the full force of Trip’s lazy grin when he replied, “It’s good, Layla. How’s it going for you?”

   I almost died at the way he said that, looking right at me with half-lidded eyes and those perfect, full lips smiling out my name. I felt Lisa kick me under the table, so I knew she caught it too. Oh my God. Was he flirting with me? As intrigued as I was, my survival instincts quickly won out. The guys would never stop busting my chops if they caught me flirting with the new guy. I smiled politely and offered evasively, “It’s good.”

   Just making courteous small talk, right?
