Pretty good mystery novel. Wasn’t a fan of the tropes or the forced outing as a plot point compared to the other secrets.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. The ending was okay-ish in my opinion. It was still good though. I read this for bookclub and would recommend.

I’m already shopping for the sequel. I loved this book. So as a writer, I’ve always wanted to write a book that had “the line.” Like that one sentence or one thing someone said that made the reader go “oh damn…” or that realizing “huh.” The line that just sticks with you and really makes you think or just puts everything together.

This book is that like. The entire book, the way it is put together and everything makes sense, it’s the line. It’s the “wow that was deep” or “dang I never thought of that” kind of idea and I love it. The characters are so real and I seriously relate to Addy. What I do love about this book is all the characters are stereotypical in the beginning and the idea of the book is also kind of stereotypical. Smart girl, popular girl, baseball player, and the bad boy— all pretty basic. But their development isn’t basic. They went from stereotypical to dynamic and I just love it. I 100% recommend this to anyone who loves drama and mystery. Great book.

Aviso que es una lectura adolescente. Yo ya lo sabía al comenzar a leer la novela y con esto en mente pude disfrutarla. ¿Por qué lo advierto? Porque si se dejan de lados los clichés y los estereotipos de películas estadounidenses (la rubia, el deportista, la nerd y el delincuente) es una historia que se deja leer y que, a su favor, es tremenda adictiva.
¿Qué más me gustó? Que la historia se cuenta a través de los puntos de vista (en primera persona) de los 4 protagonistas, entonces, el desarrollo de los personajes es bueno y permite a la autora jugar con tu mente sobre la premisa de la novela y que bien lo indica su título. ¿Cuál de ellos estará mintiendo?
El problema es que en cierto punto el misterio se torna predecible, pero así y todo la autora se guarda algunas sorpresas bajo la manga.
Si bien se presenta como el libro uno, es autoconclusivo y nada queda sin resolver.
Es un libro liviano que recomiendo y que además, tiene adaptación en Netflix.

This really is what it says--a Breakfast Club meet Pretty Little Liars. I was entertained enough to keep reading, even though I wasn't surprised by any of the twists and turns. In fact, there could have been way more for my liking, but overall not too bad.

Nie spodziewałam się, że spodoba mi się to tak bardzo, ostatnie 200 stron pochłonęłam na raz. Główni bohaterowie i ich relacje to złoto> Klimatem przypominało mi to trochę pll - tak odrobinkę.
