جاین و مارني صديقات من واهم صغار و حرفيا كانوا دائما يقولون حق بعضهم كل شي بحياتهم ولا يجذبون على بعضهم الا لمن بيوم الأيام مارني سألت جاين "شرایج بخطيبي ؟ " اهني جاين قالت اول جذبه لمارني ان اهو زين و لايقين مع بعض بس بالصج جاين تكره بشكل !الجذبه الأولى تسحب الثانيه لمن صاروا ۷ جذبات

الكتاب دائما اشوفه بالمكتبات و يجذبني لسبب مجهول وهالمرا شريته و قريته بنفس اللحظه و حرفية كان مميز فعلا الكتاب ومو نفس باجي كتب الغموض يتكلم الكتاب عن علاقات العايله والخوات و الصديقات و شعور الفقدان بالحياه ، الكتابه و الوصف كان حيل دقيق بشكل مجنووون

-التقييم النهائي 4/5 وانصح فيه⭐️

Darn, I should have written this review right after I finished it as I cannot even remember anything about this novel. I remember my mind wandering and just wanting to DNF this book, but attempting to finish it. Many of my book friends liked this one, so please take a look at better reviews on this one.

This was an interesting story about love, obsession & lies. I thought it was really interesting to have a psychopath as the main character & have the story told from her point of view - it really felt that you were with Jane as her life happened. However, there's also something that I can't put my finger on that made the story feel flat.

This was entertaining but very intense. Literal psychopathic behavior.

I buddy read this one with a fellow Bookstagrammer and we had similar views.

While intriguing and shocking, it was also a bit of a slow burn for me, and I found it took some time before "exciting" things started happening. When they did, however, I was completely invested in this intricate story of insecurity, unhealthy obsession, and friendship. Not your average psychological thriller, but definitely a good one.

Kay bygger opp historien bra og gir oss lesere pekepinn /ledetråder gjennom hver av de syv delene. boka består av. Noe som gjør at du vil lese videre. Du vet at noe har skjedd, men du blir med hovedpersonen der hun forteller sin historie og veien opp mot hendelsen.

Jeg slet litt med å bli ordentlig engasjert i starten, men etterhvert så vokste historien på meg og mot slutten kunne nesten ikke legge fra meg.

This book was interesting. It was slow paced at time, but fast-paced at other times. Overall it was an interesting look into a dark and jealous mind. I considered abandoning the book around the 50% mark, but I'm glad I pushed through until the end.

Seven lies being told by no other than Jane herself, Jane gave off quite a bit of a psychopath atmosphere whenever she was around her best friend Marnie which I felt very worried about Marie for her safety but I don't think she would of done anything to her, but Jane would and could possibly hurt those around her which she ended up doing and pretending she didn't do anything.
Not lying I did like the characters that were introduced throughout seven lies but for me Jane was most Definately a red flag no, no with me, the more I read the more I felt she was obsessed with Marnie which wasn't very healthy at all.
It made me think that Jane became different after what happened to her husband and to what she did in her way of wanting to have Marnie to herself,in the end I am glad on what Marnie did in the end towards Jane but she sadly wasn't our of Jane's reach yet due to the stalking that has may begun or has been going on for ages.
I do recommend this book if you want to read into the psychopath atmosphere around the main character.
