4.0

After the plot, the book was really good, but before, it was quite annoying. Though Cady was a little tiresome throughout the first 3/4 of the novel, it was enjoyable. I read the last 100 pages in one sitting, which is very unusual for me. The plot was interesting, something I didn't expect. 

Mirren and Johnny were such good characters, I honestly didn't think they were ghosts the whole time. I guess the way Cady worded every sentence made me think they were still alive the whole time. I actually thought that Cady was injured in the water accident that "occurred".


I finally figured out at the end why they were called "The Liars", and it was fascinating.
