The Lying Game by Ruth Ware

The Lying Game by Ruth Ware
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Lying Game is an account of 4 women who were good friends in high school who participated in what they called "the lying game". The story is told by one of the friends, Isa. All the women are grown now with lives of their own, but they can't escape the past. There was something that the girls did as a result of the lying game that came back to haunt them. Kate, who owns her dad's estate near a body of water in England, sends each friend a text telling them it is time to come back. The book's plot goes back and forth between what happened with the girls as teenagers and present day.

I liked the general theme of the book, that "your sins will find you out" and "whatever you sow, you'll reap." I really wanted to like this book, but I couldn't quite get into it. It seemed that there were many parts of it that were too drawn out. I have read Ruth Ware's Woman in Cabin 10 and really enjoyed it. I thought I would enjoy this one as much, but I didn't.
