I read this book as a teenager and I've got to say it's quite forgettable and i don't understand why booktok is obsessed over it. It was decent but not my cup of tea.

This book wasn't what I was expecting based on many of the reviews I've seen. I found it slow, and the writing often overly stylized. Ultimately, I could neither identify with nor become emotionally invested in the characters, so I decided to DNF and move on.

Very Easy to read. The unveiling of the twist was smooth and well executed.

Ich fand den Schreibstil ziemlich gut. Am Anfang habe ich sehr mit Cadence sympathisiert, und auch die anderen Liars mochte ich. Das mysteriöse hat mir gut gefallen und der plot twist am Ende hat mich wirklich geschockt, aber ich fand ihn gut.

Wow this was unexpected!
I really liked this book, it was short and easy to read. I liked the mystery, it wasn't too complicated.
I don't read mysteries a lot, nor I am really attentive to details, it helped a lot to enjoy it.
Maybe my rating is overated, but honestly it was good!

It's a beautiful book. Loved the narrator, her ethereal vague description along the way, a very interesting storytelling POV and those beautiful fables interspersed are lovely.

Audibly gasped, then sobbed on the plane for 30 minutes.
