Thanks! ^^

[Abdullah]

I'll apologize to you @Ahmed for I have finished reading the book against your carefully crafted schedule.

It was an easy light read and well ended before I knew it.

I hope everyone is in good spirits and reading well 🙏

[Zarshal]

Heyyyy

WOW! That was super fast, bro! ;D
Btw, it's totally okay.. :)

[Wajahat]

@Ahmad count me in too. Btw reading a book for 19 days is gonna be so tough considering the extensive reading I have been doing lately. But let's see how it goes...

Most welcome! ^__^
I know it'd be tough but it's a monthly read...that's why forcefully stretched it that long...otherwise, books like these are a matter of a day or two..😂😁
Right, @Abdullah, @Zarshal?!😆

[Zarshal]

A day @Ahmed.
Just a single day.
Can someone please pick up the pieces of my heart off the floor?

[Nigham]

Haha why @Zarshal? What happened to the heart? You're actually collecting hosla... Trying not to read the book in a day? Haha xD

[Nigham]

I was thinking... Why not we divide months or weeks by genre? Like month of sci fi, fantasy, horror etc.

[Nigham]

I'd start reading soon too.

[Zarshal]

I read the book in a day no amount of hosla can stop me from doing THAT.
I was just talking about the ending..

[Zarshal]

@Nigham That is a good idea let’s do that.

Yep haha :P

There are some dry books usually non-fic autobiography, but books like these can be read in a matter of hours. Except we guys are usually busy so we divide in a month.

I can relate with you regarding the ending. Will be waiting for your review since you have already read it.

[Wajahat]

@Abdullah you are right. It takes me a few days to finish a book normally. But these are not usual times, lately, I have been just avoiding all my online classes and doing reading and watching shows. The lectures are piling up but the procrastination has taken over. And when you are procrastinating by reading books it's almost impossible to stop.

[Nigham]

I started properly kal and ab I feel like I should rush too :P plus I hope it's not sad ending.

[Faheem]

Welcome Back!🎉

[Zarshal]

Welcome back @Amna!
Glad to have you back! 🥳

[Nigham]

Read the following once you are done with book.

(view spoiler)[ haaay... THE ENDING

There was a book we all read in br 2017 or 18 I guess, Made you up?  The girl was suffering from some brain issue in which she makes up things and no one till end knew which exact person of the novel she was making up. The book was something like that. My hope (of Cadence imagining fire and liars still alive) got higher when I started the last chapter and well died too soon...
Even though I like happy endings, I can't complain about this one or say what the writer was thinking haha cause once upon a time I, myself had written such thing.

Still making me think how it'd be like for Cadence to live with it... Like her whole life is... Like you can't imagine no?  The trauma, the agony, the regret...
I believe that novels might be fiction but kahi na kahi tou ye sab kuch Hua ho ga... So if it ever happened to someome... I hope and pray they found peace. (hide spoiler)]

[Aakash]

I'm done with the book as well so all of us are officially done with it yay!

[Zarshal]

@Amna
I feel you bro xD

[Aakash]

I didn't like it much... Plot sucked I have not read many mystery books but in my opinion the author wrote the story from start to end and then took the main part of the fire and placed it at the end n lo and behold there is your mystery and book title is misleading as well...

[Wajahat]

@misty yeah same. In the start, there was too much information to grab and I was reading just for the sake of reading. But somewhere in the middle the book really hooked me. The fire was at the end and I think it left a lot of room for the other possibilities for readers to think. I was personally thinking something like she and gait must have been together and something bad happened. The fire thing was a big surprise. PS I am not a big fan of sad endings but the final few chapters legit made me cry, there was this stream of emotions that I don't know, how to stay angry at the writer anymore, for that ending.

[Wajahat]

@Amna feel you, endings like this haunt me for days, but I think the way book was written this kinda ending was required for the readers to feel true emotions...

[Aakash]

Yeah true about thinking different scenarios I myself thought he has died or something when she was in Europe and no one telling her about gat

[Nigham]

And I thought she must have gotten into fight with her mother, went for swimming or something and instead bumped her head, got unconscious and all...
Because later her little cousins weren't telling her a thing and everyone kept saying that your mother says, doctors have advised that she should remember herself.

I remember that buddy read. Yeah it's slightly similar but "made you up" was much better. With an ending that made sense. And there were moments in it too.

But this "we were liars" felt like a normal story with no moments worth remembering or not even any quotes or situations worth discussing. The pattern was pretty obvious; If you got nothing better then write a simple good time summer story, and change it by the end by adding some piece of information so that the whole perspective is changed but it's much worse now. Moreover the ending didn't make sense because it was like there's no purpose given to such a tragedy. Except for a teenager doing a stupid mistake which even in itself didn't make sense. They weren't such small kids that they'd forget to not to light a place before everyone is out.

Critically speaking it wasn't that good at all. But as a light read this was an alright book I guess.

[Ahmed]

Eid Mubarak, guys!💖💖
