βSomeone once wrote that a novel should deliver a series of small astonishments. I get the same thing spending an hour with you.β
This novel delivers a series of small astonishments. Summers on Beechwood feel dreamy and nostalgic, polished and fractured. Lockhartβs 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.
