A review by vikreads
The Lying Game by Ruth Ware

2.0

I’ve never disliked a book by Ware - they’ve always been decent. However, this one was a big letdown. The fact that these four girls are willing to do all that they did after just two semesters together and then more than a decade apart felt unrealistic. The “twist” was super easy to see through from early on and the characters didn’t have any growth from their high school chapters to the ones as grown adults in their 30’s. I also just didn’t like the big reveal - the whole time I was expecting there to be so much more holding it all together,  and once I found out it really was what it seemed I was highly disappointed. Also - the main character might be the worst mom ever, Isa was constantly putting her baby in extremely dangerous situations for no rhyme or reason
