just like we were liars, this book was utterly confusing (but good?).
there was a whole mystery aspect with this book, and although i really enjoyed the action and the flashbacks, i will admit i got lost once or twice throughout the book, even if i bookmarked my page at the end of a chapter, i would have to reread the book to remember the context.
speaking of context, i felt like i got none throughout the book, which seems like lockhart's trademark, since it all resolves in the end. but still, i would still like to know why the MC is coming to a realization to something that was never mentioned.
i did enjoy the stories and flashbacks however, but if you don't like gore, don't read it. it kinda goes into detail.

Yo soy super fan de "We were liars", y con el hype que ha tenido en los últimos meses pensé "Por qué no leerme otro libro de E. lockhart?" Así que decidí leer "Todo es mentira", obvio sin leer la sinopsis, el titulo me llamó la atención y se apuntó a la TBR. Entonces, al final de qué trata? No puedo decir, siento que cualquier cosa que diga es Spoiler, pero bueno
Conocemos a esta chica reservada que se encuentra de vacaciones en Baja California, no le gusta hablar de su vida, se ve a sí misma como una superhéroe/espía/ etc, y cuando alguien empieza a preguntar por ella en el hotel decide que es momento de irse, y descubrimos que es mucho más de lo que aparenta, pero, qué hizo que Jule este huyendo? Thats the thing
Si buscan un gran plot como en We were liars, siento que este libro no es el adecuado, pero si quieren una lectura rápida, fácil y que los mantenga picados, go for it. Los sucesos no son sorpresa, lo interesante son los por qué.
Jule es inteligente, sabe tomar las oportunidades, y no tiene miedo a ensuciarse las manos, tiene unos tintes donde te debates su salud mental; pero es entretenido seguirla. No conecte con los personajes, creo que en parte por cómo esta escrito, en lo personal confundí un poco sus formas de actuar por ello, y no entendía bien qué los motivaba, aún así me interesaban sus personalidades y motivos
Algo importante es que el libro inicia en el presente, y luego empieza a contarse hacia atrás, de vez en cuando da saltos y regresa un poco, lo que puede volverlo confuso, pero conforme avances las cosas caen en su lugar
Tenía semanas sin interesarme tanto en un libro; así que "todo es mentira "(literal), me vino como anillo al dedo.

THIS BOOK WAS TERRIBLE AND DISTURBING, not terribly disturbing, just terrible and disturbing. I honestly would not recommend this book. I loved “We were Liars” so much but this one was just no it. I liked the writing style and the way the chapters were out of order, but the mystery and suspense just wasn’t there!! I wish I could say more, but honestly this book was one of the worst I’ve read this year. It was so short, but so hard for me to get through!

This was good, but it wasn't amazing. It was really frustrating at times.
Don't get me wrong, the plot was really good and the story was well executed... except for the ending, I hated the ending and I think there was something missing to it.
Anyways, this is a book you need to read, not because it's the best but because it's something different.

I liked how the story went backwards in time and revealed as to why Jule did what she did. But altogether I felt like the story didn't go anywhere except explain Jule's slight character development as the beginning and the end chapters consisted of Jule running away followed by more running away in the middle.
