Not the most well written book but not the ending I expected. Kind of gave like mid 2000s dramatic movie vibes.

this was terrible. plain and simple
i wanted to read this because i recently saw the trailer for the show that is coming out this month and it intrigued me
i was confused the whole damn book.
this was also beyond boring. i should’ve DNF’d, the only reason why i got through all 400+ pgs was because the chapters were like 1min each
the ending was bleh
ALSO WHAT KIND OF NAME IS GAT????? (sorry i’m a name hater in books)
imo not worth your time

He de confesar que no estaba muy metida con esta historia: me intrigaba y me parecía que, bueno, estaba bien escrita, pero no era algo que estuviese en mi mente 24/7 (también porque la vuelta a la rutina se ha comido todo mi espacio mental). No me terminaban de convencer los personajes, aunque, bueno, a medida que iba descubriendo más de ellos, los he terminado amando, especialmente a los Liars, a los que amo con todo mi corazón. Esta no es una historia convencional sobre niños ricos. Esta historia duele. Gat, Johnny, Mirren y Cady se meten en tu corazón y ya no hay vuelta atrás. No la hay. Y el plot twist... Shockeada y enfadada porque tendría que haberlo visto venir. ESTABA AHÍ, EN NUESTRAS NARICES. AAAHHH. Ha sido esta última parte la que me ha hecho cambiar de opinión sobre el libro. Sigo intentando procesar.

What can I say about this... I was bored, half the time I didn't know what was going on and the writing style really bugged me. The chapters are really short and the sentences were just so simple, sometimes only a few words. And the ending... What even happened at the end?

I listened to this as an audiobook, so I can't say anything comforting to everyone who hated the way this was printed.

Anyway, I liked this book. It had a mysterious air to it, and the writing was incredibly pretentious. But I kind of liked that. It's no literary masterpiece, but it's a short and easy read. I liked the pacing, and there was an interesting plottwist. And the characters, well, they were awful but also quite interesting. I liked them too.

3/5.
