Nine Liars
by Maureen Johnson
mysterious
medium-paced
Okayyyyyy.....I have some thoughts. I was SO EXCITED to see that this was being published. That being said, I had some major issues with this one.
What I liked about this book
What I liked about this book
- I thought that the cold case Stevie was working on was more interesting than the last book. Including that it was set in London.
- I appreciate that
David wasn't cheating with Izzy, despite Stevie worrying about it the whole book. That would have been too easy. - The ending. Which was totally infuriating but what a way to end the book.
What bothered me about this book
- So much personal drama. I get that they are teenagers, but the emphasis on the personal relationships of the characters seems to be more and more the focus of this series.
- I solved the mystery immediately. The big reveal of all the earlier books was such a great moment because I hadn't figured any of it out.
- I don't think that
David breaking up with Stevie was flushed out enough. There was no warning, no sign, nothing about his being insecure. Maybe that's the point, but still.
