The First Lie: A Lying Game Novella is very short. I read it in a span of an hour. It really doesn't give anything to the overall Lying Game series point of view with Emma as this one takes place entirely from Sutton's point of view. The main reason for this novella's existence is to show the

beginnings of the Sutton and Thayer romance.

I liked it because it was nice to see Sutton as Sutton: a corporeal, fully intact of mental capabilities Sutton and no misleading flashbacks. It was interesting that Shepard chose to point out that maybe Sutton remembers Becky, her birth mother and quite possibly Emma based off that nightmare Sutton had. I wish it was a little longer and that it somehow connected to the larger mystery.
