The Lying Game follows long-lost twins Emma and Sutton. Separated under mysterious circumstances, Sutton was adopted... by the wealthy Mercer family in Phoenix, while Emma grew up in the foster system. When the twins reunite as teenagers, they keep it a secret. While Sutton goes in search of the truth, Emma takes over her life and discovers more secrets and lies than she could have imagined. It's a season of secrets, seduction and life-and-death stakes as the twins continue to expose the skeletons in their family closet. Emma and Ethan's love is stronger than ever, but their relationship is tested by questionable motives and accusations. With Sutton's disappearance, Emma and Ethan don't know whether Sutton is missing or dead. Meanwhile, Char's aunt Annie has returned to town after many years, bringing back old memories and secrets that Alec and Ted would like to keep in the past

Farren (mmmcookies) I read/watch everything by Sara Shepard and I liked both the series and tv show for this. I loved that both twins were alive on the show and there were enough differences so that it was still a mystery.

I watched the show and enjoyed it but I kind of wish there had been another season to at least finally wrap it completely up. I dislike shows that don't do a complete wrap up on their questions before canceling a show.

Farren (mmmcookies) I know! They were like Oh hey, we got canceled. I guess Thayer is the bad guy! It made no sense. But I'm glad they made it different from the books.

I was like is Thayer the bad guy or is their birth mother the horrible person we think she is or what have you. I was so down right sad that they left so many questions in the end of the show. I think that shows that get canceled should at least do a tv movie after being canceled to answer questions that they left open.

I didn't mind the changes. I thought the show was well done, but i hate that everything was left in the air on the show. Just like they did too Twisted
