The Lying Game by Ruth Ware looked interesting as I was searching for my next book to read. In fairness, I wasn't totally disappointed with this book, it was a good read,but there were some issues that I had. The story chronicles four friends who have gone their separate ways but have an unbreakable tie that pulls them together as they work to hide the demons of their past. The story begins when the friends all receive an SOS text message and even though they haven't seen each other for years, they all go running. I was left wondering what bond would be that amazing, and the story left me wondering, for more than 3/4 of the book. The story is good and it is well written. I had no clue as to the ending and how it was going to turn out which I always like. My only issue with the book is that the author alludes to this great big mysterious thing that holds these girls together but it takes more than half the book to reveal it. It seemed almost as if the author didn't want to reveal the issue to keep us all reading. All in all, it was a good read.
