bloopers's review against another edition

4/5 stars
Three women are suspects to the burning of Morris & Wood. They all have their reasons and their own opportunities, but who did the deed in the end?
After some(aka a lot) of procrastination, I finally finished this book! Anyways, here's my review.
The characters are a weird topic—the main ones(Laura, Janie, and Mia) are amazingly developed in terms of personality, motive, and their current life, though it just stops at some point. Same thing goes for the side characters, some development, then it somehow stops. The book(mainly the ending and interactions) could be much more impactful if there was that little bit more.
Though what you *do* get is pretty nice, and you get a good idea of each character and its fun trying to get who did it.
The writing is honestly amazing—you can feel the drama and feeling in each interaction, and it's fairly descriptive. Its intriguing and keeps you hooked, and I liked the authors approach to sensitive subjects(though I can't say since I feel like I'll accidentally get into spoiler territory :/)
It was also nice going through the three POV's, and you were always just turning the page to get to the next one.
The ending was nice and satisfying, and I really was surprised at what happened. I just felt off in a way I can't explain.
Overall: Three Perfect Liars is a novel with well-developed characters, a gripping plot, and amazing writing, and is one of the better thriller books you can read. Like I said above, this gets a 4/5 stars from me.

This book was about three professional women, who are all lying about something, and the mystery of who started a fire that burned down the office building. The book had a lot of women's rights issues which was a nice tie-in. Around the 52% mark I considered abandoning the book, just because I was tired of hearing about Laura's constant paranoia and whining about her job, but I pushed through and finished the book. It wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, but not a bad read.

This book was well written. The characters and their different POVs(3) were really fleshed out and believable. I had no trouble differentiating between them.
I adored the office setting and I did find that the suspense was there enough that I wanted to continue reading. But I found it really fizzled out at the end for me and I was disappointed.
I really love slow burns but this one was extremely repetitive. Not only was nothing happening, the exact same nothing was happening over and over again. For all 3 perspectives.
Laura is completely insufferable, but by the final pages, she somehow managed to become my favourite. I think her character was the strongest and was wasted in the end.

I love thrillers that center around a plethora of secrets. This one kept me guessing. I was about 80% of the way through before I started to really figure it out, and even then I got some details wrong. The characters had a decent amount of depth, Laura more than anyone. The premise was good. My only problem was that it was slow. The pacing did not feel fast enough for the type of story it was. I enjoyed it but even though I didn’t know what would happen next, I also wasn’t on the edge of my seat to find out. Because of the pacing, this was 3.5 stars for me.
Thank you NetGalley, author, and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
