This book is brilliant! I wasn't sure if I would like it because the subject seems quite dark, suicide and drug abuse being two topics discussed but the way it is written brings enough attention to these tragic things that it makes you feel for the characters but not too much that it is the whole focus of the book. The balance is perfect! It is a great suspense read and sometimes they can be quite slow but Friends and Liars moves at a good speed and the writing is clear and flows brilliantly. I couldn't put it down! The friends are written so well because they all are so different but the connection and friendships they have feel so genuine. Also the chapters switch from different character perspectives and from past to preset which keeps the book interesting and it is a really clever writing technique used to move the mystery forward. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves books about mystery and friendship.
