I'm not Lying about this Review!

I'll never pass up a chance to read another Ruth Ware novel and once again, this choice didn't disappoint. Ruth Ware has a writing style that both lures the reader into the setting of the story and keeps them there throughout the pages. It's difficult to have to ever set a Ware novel down, but when it happens, minutes are counted down until the reader can reunite with it once more. The Lying Game follows main character, Isa, and her three friends, Fatima, Thea, and Kate. All four ladies went to boarding school together for a short amount of time, wreaking havoc by smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and lying to others for points among each other. All four girls underwent a tragic accident in which their relationship between each of them changed for years to come. Lying and secrets became a constant lifestyle choice for each of them. Over a decade later, this story takes place in which all four women come together in a time of need--when their secret is uncovered and their lie is close to having light shed on it. To the very last page, Ware's story line was suspenseful and easy to follow. The twists and turns were not overdone and the character development between all four women was done thoroughly. At first, seeing what was coming appeared obvious, but a last second plot twist caused everything to develop smoothly and pages to turn quicker. I appreciate the dreary settings that Ware places her stories--it goes with the "suspense" genre and makes everything a tad more eerier--readers become hungry for more information and comfort as to what it going on. I'd highly recommend this Ruth Ware novel, for anyone interested in being transported into the minds of women who will go to any lengths to keep secrets for one another. To be fair, I'd recommend any Ruth Ware novel!
