Sinossi
Peonie fuori stagione, difficilissime da trovare. Una chiesa di Londra gremita di gente elegante. La musica comincia e le porte si aprono. Ma a entrare non è una sposa: è una bara. Dentro c'è una di loro. Una delle tre amiche: Lila, Nancy, Georgia. Amiche da sempre, dai tempi del liceo. Un'amicizia strana: fatta di dispetti più che di affetto, di piccoli tradimenti più che di lealtà, di tante bugie e pochissima verità. Eppure le tre donne sono complici, da sempre: nel proteggere qualcosa che solo loro sanno, e che non deve venire allo scoperto. Qualcosa che è accaduto molto tempo fa, e che ancora le terrorizza. Ma quella complicità è anche la loro condanna, il legame che non possono spezzare. E quando una di loro minaccerà di farlo, di rendersi finalmente libera, per lei non ci sarà scampo. Perché, come si suol dire, certe amicizie durano fino alla morte, e certi segreti si portano nella tomba. Un thriller su quel grande mistero che è l'amicizia femminile, spesso più simile a un campo di battaglia in cui ogni arma è permessa: tra invidie, rancori, piccole grandi bugie, una storia spaventosamente vicina alla realtà.

During their reign of mean-girl-ness at their boarding school, three girls conspired in a murder, and covered it up by being perfect liars; sixteen years later, the conspiracy has kept them relatively close, but with fears of one of them somewhat losing the plot, they get together to make sure all i Leggi tutto
"You do realize," he had said to her once, years ago, "that you are actually supposed to like your friends?" This is a story of three school friends, Nancy, Georgia and Lila. It's set both in the past during their school days and in the present, when they all get together at Georgia's house with the Leggi tutto
Well, this was an interesting and compelling debut from journalist Rebecca Reid. Based around the lives and secrets shared by boarding school friends Nancy, Georgia and Lila. Each character is incredibly unlikeable, and they do fit the cookie cutter mould of pretentious, entitled, spoiled young wome Leggi tutto
Perfect Liars was like a horrific train wreck that you just can't look away from. Such nasty characters, especially Nancy that are just so unlikeable and their toxic friendship.. but you just have to keep reading. I read this in 2 sessions, I was dying to know what they were lying about and how they Leggi tutto
Perfect Liars is a perfect tale of toxic friendship, made more so by the fact that they all have something to hide… I really enjoyed this- I love a past/present narrative especially when the past includes school days. None of the three friends are particularly likeable which makes it even better and Leggi tutto
Perfect Liars is Rebecca Reid’s debut novel centred around the rather odd and extremely toxic friendship between Nancy, Georgia and Lila. It reminded me a little of Liane Moriarty and that’s never a bad thing in my book. Nancy, Georgia and Lila met at boarding school when they were eleven years old. Leggi tutto
I obviously have a “type” of book that I find rather juicy as Perfect Liars is also a book with unsavoury and unlikeable characters! But this time in a book that shows the nasty side of female friendships showing that, unfortunately, it’s not just at school that women develop toxic relationships wit Leggi tutto
Three friends are forever bonded by something terrible that happened fifteen years earlier at boarding school - something which is destined to come back to haunt them in the present day. So far, so standard psychological thriller territory. Except Georgia, Nancy and Lila aren’t bonded at all, or at Leggi tutto
