by Ruth Ware
I ended up reacting to this book much as I did to Ruth Ware's Woman in Cabin 10. I felt compelled to keep listening and listening until I got to the end, but once I was done, I wondered why I'd spent all that time. The "lying game" of the title doesn't ultimately seem that significant to the cent...
So Ruth Ware keeps doing this. She has an interesting idea that she can't quite get off the ground floor when it comes for the full book. "The Lying Game" is about a group of four friends who used to play a game that involved lying with rules. Rule 1: Tell a Lie Rule 2: Stick To Your Story Rule 3...
This is the first book I've read by Ware despite having had my eye on her previous books. I now regret not having picked them up sooner.

In Salten, England, four teenage girls, Kate Atagon, Thea West, Fatima Chaudhry (nee Qureshy), and Isa Wilde, become the closest of friends at their boarding school. ...
The premise of high school girls making up a game of lying and hiding a suicide as their last and final lie really held my interest in this book. Years after the suicide and after the girls had left school, started living their adult lives, some married with children and some just trying to make it....
A special thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. After devouring The Woman in Cabin 10, I was excited to get my hands on another Ruth Ware book. Initially I was enjoying this book, especially the parts that take place at the boarding school...
