The Lying Game by Ruth Ware

1.0

This book felt like a waste of time. Little to no suspense, weak motivations, and a painfully slow pace. But the worst part for me was the borderline pedophilia that was barely addressed and largely excused. I don't understand what Ware was trying to accomplish with this one.

2.0

I gave it two stars because I cared enough to finish it. The writing was pretty awful, so awkward and choppy. The pacing and transitions between scenes were abrupt and sometimes confusing. And the dialogue was laughably unrealistic and cliched. Overall, this book felt like a made for TV movie from the late 90's.

The concept for the plot isn't bad. It was just very poorly executed.
