When I first started reading this book i didn't expect it to be as good as it was， I had heard really good things about it but I was kind of confused for the first part of the book but then I understood what was going on and it all made more sense， and the twist at the end was so unexpected and WOW！ I loved and enjoyed this book so mush more than I though I was going to。 When I first started reading this book i didn't expect it to be as good as it was， I had heard really good things about it but I was kind of confused for the first part of the book but then I understood what was going on and it all made more sense， and the twist at the end was so unexpected and WOW！ I loved and enjoyed this book so mush more than I though I was going to。 。。。more

The end was totally unpredictable！！ Loved it！ Loved every part of it！The way the characters were build up！ The way the end was revealed。。！ I mean i was literally feeling the chills when i was about to start the final chapter and it kind of unraveled on its own and i started to figure out what actually happened before it even began to reveal the truth。。！I would totally recommend this book to every person who likes books because He is in for an unforgettable experience ❤️

This book is quite conflicting for me。 At times I loved the writing， other times i found it confusing and slightly 'excessive'？ not sure if thats the right word， not sure。 The whole book is very very 。。。 white。 Not that that is necessarily bad thing， but it is just often glaringly obvious。 I loved the story between Gat and Cadence。 I saw the ending coming a mile away， but I was upset about it anyhow。 I would recommend but I don't think I'd read it again。 This book is quite conflicting for me。 At times I loved the writing， other times i found it confusing and slightly 'excessive'？ not sure if thats the right word， not sure。 The whole book is very very 。。。 white。 Not that that is necessarily bad thing， but it is just often glaringly obvious。 I loved the story between Gat and Cadence。 I saw the ending coming a mile away， but I was upset about it anyhow。 I would recommend but I don't think I'd read it again。 。。。more

Not a super big fan of the writing style of this book。 Some of the way the information was presented is confusing due to the overly descriptive metaphors and changing timelines。 It is an ok poolside read but not something I would go back to。 Overall there really isn’t much plot beyond “rich people have hard lives too” Also if writing structure where sentences are broken up oddly or have tons of repetition bother you， avoid this For some reason lines of proseJust startToLook like this。 It irritat Not a super big fan of the writing style of this book。 Some of the way the information was presented is confusing due to the overly descriptive metaphors and changing timelines。 It is an ok poolside read but not something I would go back to。 Overall there really isn’t much plot beyond “rich people have hard lives too” Also if writing structure where sentences are broken up oddly or have tons of repetition bother you， avoid this For some reason lines of proseJust startToLook like this。 It irritated me and added nothing to the book。 。。。more

I honestly don't think it's worth reading。 Although I loved the poetic way of writing and the beautiful sentences， I never really got attached to any of the characters （which is pretty important to me as a reader， but if that's not the case for you， then ignore this） and I honestly thought a lot of them were ignorant assholes a lot of the time。 The story also never really got me， and I was bored a lot of the time because it was very repetitive， you just followed her days on the island with the s I honestly don't think it's worth reading。 Although I loved the poetic way of writing and the beautiful sentences， I never really got attached to any of the characters （which is pretty important to me as a reader， but if that's not the case for you， then ignore this） and I honestly thought a lot of them were ignorant assholes a lot of the time。 The story also never really got me， and I was bored a lot of the time because it was very repetitive， you just followed her days on the island with the same routine the whole time。 But， I kept on reading because people told me the ending （with a plottwist） would be worth it， and also kinda because I do am in love with the style of writing （that's why I still gave it 3 stars）。 Turns out the plottwist wasn't worth it （to me）， I hated the way every family member just brushed it off？ What the actual fuck？ Next to that the ending was only like， ten pages long。 Compared to the 200 boring pages I read before that， it's not worth it。 To finish this long review:I would totally read it if you want a slow book， to just read without having to give it too much thought。 But if you're looking for something that keeps you hooked 'til the last page， then this is definitely not a book for you。 （Keep in mind that I'm also kind of a very picky reader， if the book doesn't have me wondering what's gonna happen next and I don't feel like reading it all in one day， I don't like it ;））I do have to give her compliments for the beautiful writing （！！！）， that's the thing that kept me going and， I could've never guessed the ending so the plottwist did it's job。 。。。more

（MAJOR SPOILES）I loved this book。 kinda confused as to the ending。 Was everyone aware Cadence could see them。 I think that they are hallucinations。 as to it is confirmed， but I can't help but dream that the Liars were ghosts。 （MAJOR SPOILES）I loved this book。 kinda confused as to the ending。 Was everyone aware Cadence could see them。 I think that they are hallucinations。 as to it is confirmed， but I can't help but dream that the Liars were ghosts。 。。。more

Fast read。 Great beach book。

I thought this book was ok because it wasn't for me and the beginning and ending was gorgeous I wasn't a fan when I was in the middle of the book plus the whole twist in the end wasn't for me （maybe because I'm so stupid I missed the hints） and I don't understand why people cry so much because I didn't even react。 I thought this book was ok because it wasn't for me and the beginning and ending was gorgeous I wasn't a fan when I was in the middle of the book plus the whole twist in the end wasn't for me （maybe because I'm so stupid I missed the hints） and I don't understand why people cry so much because I didn't even react。 。。。more

No sé por qué me puso tan triste。 Lo leí en menos de un día y me dejó una sensación de tristeza y aturdimiento que todavía no comprendo。 Seguramente se transforme en unos de mis libros favoritos。 Es hermoso， me fascinó leerlo y no contaba con que me terminara gustando tanto。 Creí que era una lectura ligera， que en parte lo es por la narración simple pero tremenda， y al final fue un libro que me hizo pensar un par de cosas。

Sydney Pezman ，

Honestly kinda disappointed in this book… I had a lot of expectations with this book expecting it to be really good but it ended up being very choppy and somewhat boring。 I did really like the unreliable narrator and the ending left me amazed！

Kate ，

I didn’t love it but I also didn’t hate it。 The ending twist made it worth it。 Great for YA readers！！

I wish I had read this as a teenager， I think I would have been OBSESSED with it。 Anyway。。 The biggest thing about this book， from what people have told me and what I have read in reviews is the twist ending。 I was giddy for a good twist， for my mind to be blown， for something to happen that I didn’t see coming， that I couldn’t have guessed。And then I read the final part of the story， titled ‘Truth’。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 and what happened or what was revealed was exactly what I expected。 So that kinda s I wish I had read this as a teenager， I think I would have been OBSESSED with it。 Anyway。。 The biggest thing about this book， from what people have told me and what I have read in reviews is the twist ending。 I was giddy for a good twist， for my mind to be blown， for something to happen that I didn’t see coming， that I couldn’t have guessed。And then I read the final part of the story， titled ‘Truth’。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 and what happened or what was revealed was exactly what I expected。 So that kinda sucked。 I guess I picked up the hints early on and thought about them too hard？ It’s probably bc I read way too many Nancy Drew books growing up。 All in all， it was a decent book， I liked Lockhart’s writing style， and I can understand why this is a well loved book。 It’s definitely a very binge-worth book， I found that I didn’t want to put it down and just see what happens next。 A great book if you’re looking to pull yourself out of a reading slump。 。。。more

Once I started I couldn’t stop。 Around part 4 is when things began to click and you realised what the twist was but I didn’t want to accept it。 Part 5 broke me， I cried for a good 10 minutes！

~ pt 2 of me reading all the books practically everyone else has already read （aka catching up）~whattt？？this book is something。。 and now that I know the big plot twist I kinda want to reread it。when I was reading the last couple pages I was like this NOT happening and was kinda mad about how it ended， but now that I’ve thought about it more I like it better。 Idek 😂

Odd is the only word that comes to mind。 This book is sad， heartbreaking to the point of shock so you don’t want to believe it， but also kind of beautiful。 Plot twist is crazy。 I thought I had guessed it half way through- I had not。 Did not expect the twist and it is hidden and hinted at throughout the book but they go unnoticed until you reach the last part。 It’s one of those “fuck sake I should have known” books but no one ever knows 🤣

i saw a lot of people saying this book is overrated but idk why they say that， i loved this book and…。 im speechless with this end
