The Liars

Reviews

The Liars has all the slow burning unease, brilliant characterisation and page turning compulsiveness a reader could hope for - the kind of simmering tension and dark undercurrents that makes it impossible to put down. It's the perfect escapist summer read The Liars transported me to the heat of a Greek summer, then and now, but more than that it took me back to the peculiarity of being a fifteen year old girl, on the cusp of adulthood, and the potency and fear of that time. The writing is sublime, the story evocative and compelling. I loved every page! A powerfully charged tale, pivoting on the savage and tender relationship between girls on their journey into adulthood.
