The Book Review Café's Reviews > All the Little Liars

**no spoilers**


All The Little Liars is one of those books that’s hard to review without giving away major spoilers. And believe me when I say ‘to enjoy this book to the full, the less you know the more thrilling and shocking you will find it’. If you love a book that makes you question everything you read, then I might have just the book for you. Told across two timelines and tapping into a horrific crime. All the Little Liars is a novel about sisterly love and toxic friendship that asks: how much would you sacrifice to belong? Victoria Selman serves up a delicious concoction of dark secrets and stunning plot twists that will keep you captivated until the very last page.

The dual time line works perfectly as it deftly builds on the suspense and the tension as secrets are slowly but surely revealed. Kat narrates the story, with snippets from her sisters Izzy’s diary filling in the blanks. As the reader learns more, a feeling of dread begins to bubble away. The strength of this book is the attention to detail. I love how Victoria Selman explores the Psychology of Toxic Relationships and the devastating fallout that such friendships can bring. The author has created a mystery that’s fascinating and discomforting in equal measures.

There’s nothing more satisfying when you're reading a book and the author floors you with one of those ‘OMFG moments’. So much so I had to flip back through the pages and read them again to see how I missed those all important lies and half truths! Victoria Selman manipulates the reader at every turn of the page, so you are never sure what’s true, but it guarantees an exciting and nail biting read. All The Little Liars is a dark tale of toxic relationships, manipulation and deadly secrets. It’s a cracking read that’s superbly constructed, ingeniously paced and absolutely nail biting. Highly recommended.
