About this audiobook
“I need you.” Three small words that change everything.
Isa Wilde knows something terrible has happened when she receives this text from an old friend. Why else would Kate summon her and their two friends Thea and Fatima to the seaside town where they briefly attended school together seventeen years ago?
The four friends first met at Salten House boarding school, where they quickly bonded over The Lying Game, a risky contest that involved tricking fellow boarders and faculty with their lies. But the game had consequences, and the girls were eventually expelled after Kate’s dad, their beloved art teacher, mysteriously disappeared. Forever bound by their lies but needing to forget their past, they went their separate ways—Kate remaining in Salten while the other three left to start new lives in and around London.
Now reunited, Isa, Kate, Thea, and Fatima discover that their past lies had far-reaching effects and criminal implications that threaten them all. In order to protect their reputations, and their friendship, they must uncover the truth about what really happened all those years ago.
Atmospheric, twisty, with just the right amount of chill, The Lying Game will have readers at the edge of their seats, not knowing who can be trusted in this tangled web of lies.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book dragged on and on, was repetitive, and by the time the ending finally came I couldn’t wait for it to just be over. I love Ruth Ware, but this book wasn’t it.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The younger years of the four girls at school in Salton
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Incredibly slow and boring. Finally gave up about 45% in :(
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These girls are not likeable at all, but difficult to hate as well. The main premise is too self serving, but still manages entertaining. The end was more or less satisfying, some justice, but even more lies.
