“Someone once wrote that a novel should deliver a series of small astonishments. I get the same thing spending an hour with you.”

This novel delivers a series of small astonishments. Summers on Beechwood feel dreamy and nostalgic, polished and fractured. Lockhart’s writing is lyrical, every word chosen carefully to create beauty and tension. The truth is hidden in plain sight, and every breadcrumb leads the reader to the realization just as Candace makes it. I gasped as I turned the page. I hope the TV adaptation does The Liars justice. They deserve it.

This is a tragic tale of a dysfunctional family. I can’t say I loved the story, but it was well written and kept me wanting to know the answers. But sometimes..the answers aren’t happy ones

Honestly hated this book until part 5 with the HUGE twist. Like what!? Idk how I was expecting it to end but this wasn’t it. Glad I finished it - probably won’t finish the rest of series though.

Well I certainly didn’t predict that ending, that’s for sure.

I definitely was confused through most of the book, but that mostly had to be me getting distracted in thought as I listened to this book.

I’ve seen this book out and about for years but only picked it up so I could watch the show. I’m curious to see how the show will portray the book or if it will be more like tsitp vibe where it expands beyond the book.

I’m looking forward to reading the other books that are within the same universe to see what else I learn and uncover.
