Review: Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman

Rating – 2.5/5 

Plot – https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27860794

Review – This is a ‘thriller’ – but don’t let that fool you – it isn’t remotely thrilling or terrifying. There was no surprise or terror on my part (perhaps I’m cold-hearted) but I did find it creepy. It was too subtle and gradual, which made the ending unsurprising. The ‘main’ plot ended up a subplot in the grand scheme of things. It was like a few different stories. 

Now onto the bereaved teenagers… None of them showed any real sadness except Fay, but that’s probably just my interpretation of events or the characters showing sadness differently to how I’d expect. 

All that said, this was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I read it in one sitting (I know it’s short!) and I don’t regret reading it. I just wish it had more depth

Happy reading!
