I loved the ending to this book. So satisfying. Quick read and page turner. I didn’t have a favorite character. But I did love to hate the characters. A lot of unnecessary plot lines in my opinion.
Everyone here is lying had a fair rating at best amongst the group. Was an easy read, the book has many main characters and this may have left less to the imagination in light of solving the mystery. The villains age was also questionable for some members but otherwise more than half would recommend to others. This was our first Bookclub book.
This book really had me captivated at first. I couldn't put it down. The ending was a switch up that I didn't expect but it was not in a good way. Quite frankly, I didn't think it was an ideal plot twist. It was a little dull and seemed like maybe the ending was rushed? 75% of the book was well written and glorious... but that ending was what made me give it 7 stars instead of 10.
Confusing at the start cause there’s so many characters, but was pretty easy to get involved in their personal lives and situations. I really like how every character had their own plot going on within the general plot. Would’ve been more realistic if Avery was older, but still a great story and unexpected ending. Very satisfying.
It was really good! I would recommend it, however it just wasn't very memorable. I didn't feel super attached to any of the characters.
