I read this book on a 5 hour flight to California, it was a very easy read and I would highly recommend it. A lot of people might say that the writing is too simple or that Cady's perspective isn't very flexible with character descriptions; but by the end you realize it was crafted specifically for the story's effect on the reader and it was executed well. 
 This book will hook you from page one. Who hasn't heard about the rich families that spend their entire summers on private islands? Who doesn't wonder, at least a little bit, what could ever go wrong? I thought the book went into the family dynamics very well. The pristine looking siblings and cousins who get together every summer aren't actually as intelligent and successful as one might assume and as we all probably expected, they don't find consequences to many of their actions. They are the Liars and they are to a "T" the posh untouchable children of parents who have enough money to bail them out of their problems. I'm sure you're now thinking, why would I want to read hundreds of pages about privileged kids who have everything? 
 Well, because sometimes they don't. 
 Sometimes life has consequences money can't bail you out of. 
 Sometimes you tell so many lies you can't remember what's real. 
 Cady's story isn't so much propaganda towards a more elite lifestyle as it is tripping and falling down the rabbit hole and realizing wonderland is a lot more complicated than you thought. 
 So the question is, will you follow her down or not?
