Reviews

Four Good Liars by Sarah Wish is a book about teenagers with entirely different personalities and with opposing social backgrounds who find themselves together one morning on a school bus. The course of events that unfold on that day lead to unexpected and life-altering events.

This book is an easy read; fast-paced and exciting; appealing to readers who want to pick up a book and immediately be immersed in the 'thrill of the chase'. It explores the idea of trust and questions the stereo typical views one may hold of the characters. Issues of temptation and greed are also put into question and will have any teenage reader asking and debating who was right and who was wrong. A good all rounder, best suited for 14+ readers; one that will highlight the contradiction of human behaviour.
