She thought once more.” With the two points of views I found out more information than I would have if it was only one point of view. Third person it would be like this, “ Sutton’s dead, ForĮxample, when Sutton was talking in first person it would be like this, “I’d stared hard at the note as Emma opened it.” And when Sutton was talking in It can be difficult to follow if you don’t understand the switch between the two. But I liked it because you got to see what both girls were thinking. Since there are two major characters, Sutton who is dead and Emma who is alive and pretending to be Sutton, the story switches from first point of view coming from Sutton on how she feels and what she remembers to third person limited omniscient point of view told by Sutton expressing Emma’s feelings. I would also recommend this book to people because it has an interesting point of view. For example, would Charlotte really hate Sutton so much for stealing her boyfriend, Garret, that she would want her dead. Emma also has to maintain relationships with Sutton’s friends, and with some of them she has to determine what happened between Sutton and them.

With all of this going on you can’t get bored. Emma thinks this because she saw a video where Sutton got upset with Laurel and threw Laurels favorite necklace into the woods. At one point in time Emma believes that Suttons killer is Laurel. Her suspicion goes from person to person as she discovers things. At the same time Emma has to try to find out who killed her long lost sister. She eventually figures it out because she makes the connection between what one of Sutton’s friends says and the box.

For example, she finds a locked safety box in Sutton’s room with The L Game written on it and she has to figure out what that means.

Because Emma is trying to act like she is Sutton, she isĪlways encountering problems. In The Lying Game there is never a dull moment. I would recommend this book to someone who likes to read fast
