Savanah SeeseIf you are a fan of Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl this is a great read for you! You will experience what it’s like to be in a close knit group of friends full of secrets. Ashley Winstead did a wonderful job of painting the scenes as if you are there in the group. She carefully painted each characters back story and glimpse into their psyche. Definitely a great read!
Savanah SeeseI am a big Lisa Jewell fan but this definitely wasn’t my favorite of hers. I enjoyed the complex character plots and how the story line continuously moved forward without feeling any monotony. If I could tweak a few of the plot points I think I would have liked it better. And in classic Jewell fashion at the very end we are left to question everything we’ve read and form our own interpretations which leads to great book club discussions.
Savanah SeeseIt was hard to get into at first, then morphed into a hard to believe story line. This wasn’t the worst book I’ve read but wouldn’t be one I’d recommend to a friend. If you are someone who gets confused easily from multiple POV then you will probably also get confused from the various lies and time line confusion written. Then again maybe this was the authors brilliant ploy to have us just as confused as the main character, Addison. In which case still could have been executed better. I really thought the story was going to go into a much different direction. Without giving spoilers, the ending was just too far fetched.
