A review by courtsbooknook
Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson

mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.0

This book was doing well up until the end. First of all, I don't think the mystery was drawn out enough and I was left wanting more moments that led to the reveal. I also thought the ending was so abrupt and uncalled for. It felt backward on character development and I feel like Stevie deserved better. I didn't really need a sixth book, but with that cliffhanger, I feel like I kind of do. I do love Stevie and how much she has developed over the book series. I liked the London setting and I related to the unknown of what's after high school. I also love Nate! I think he's such a great side character and I enjoy his and Stevie's friendship!
