Theyāre liars, remember?
First let me say that I have read thousands of booksā¦ hundreds and hundreds of thrillers. Most of them, although I love them and praise them after reading, are forgettable after a while. But then, there are the thrillers that stay with you. Days, months, years and decades later, they stay with you. These are the books that you go to right away when someone says they need a good book to read. With that being said, THIS bookā¦ š³ where can I start? Iāll address the characters directly since they are the reasons I will talk about this book for years and years to comeā¦
Dear Characters,
Caide, you are a scum bag. I knew that from the second I met you in the very first chapter. I hated your stupid slimy guts and your stupid entitled attitude. Although I briefly softened when you tried to do right by Rachel, it didnāt last long. You quickly proved yourself to be the cowardly womanizer I first suspected. I secretly hoped youād rot (thatās was after chapter 1). It only gets worse. If I met you, Iād throat punch you. *read it and youāll understand*
Rachel, girlā¦ get it together. You are better than that. You deserve better. I give you creds for trying to stick it out for your kids butā¦ damnā¦ how many chances are you willing to give? Wellā¦ that bit you in the ass didnāt it? But listen, I donāt claim to know what itās like to be in your shoes but if you were my best friend, Iād surely give you my two cents. But waitā¦ it also seems you need some help in the āpicking your best friends areaāā¦ ugh. Your life is a tangled mess. Clearlyā¦ it all started the day you met āPrince Charmingā š
Blaire, get your own man! Stop playing the āpoor me-other woman-you know you want meā routine. Readers wonāt buy it. The āother womanā roleā¦ itās old Blaire. No sympathy here. Well, maybe a little. Seeing how you got yourself in a big old predicament that maybe you didnāt deserve. But cāmonā¦ what did you think would happen?
Audrey, I hate you. You suck. You call yourself a BFF? Pffffā¦. NOT by any friend standard of mine!
Caides parentsā¦ shame. Just shame. You reap what you sow. Now donāt yaā¦.
Blaireās mom, Pam (or whatever you call yourself) ā¦ really?
Mrs. Moore, there are mistakes that are regrets like ā¦ eating too much chocolate cake or slipping a candy bar into your purse instead of paying for it. But what you didā¦ geez. How do you sleep at night?
Hampton and Shayna, thank you. Just thank you.
Sincerely,
A Loyal Reader šš¤Ŗ
Now, in case you donāt understand the passion and love I had for this book by my review aboveā¦ maybe you should read it yourself. In fact, you are absolutely crazy if you let this one go another minute on your shelf without being read! Good luck!
