Twins Sutton Mercer and Emma Paxton had never known each
other growing up. When they finally did discover that they
were twins, they set up a way to meet. Emma, who had grown
up in foster homes, made the trip to Tucson, Arizona so they
could finally meet face to face. However, before this
happened, someone that didn't want the girls to become
better acquainted killed Sutton.
Emma isn't positive that Sutton's dead, but it seems likely
since she's disappeared and Emma has received an anonymous
note instructing her to pretend to be Sutton unless she
wants to die, too. So Emma slips into Sutton's life, living
in Sutton's room, taking Sutton's adoptive parents as her
own, joining in with Sutton's group of friends, even
Sutton's boyfriend. There are only two people that know
Sutton is actually Emma. Ethan Landry and the killer.
Emma has gone against what the killer told her and let Ethan
in on the secret. She was starting to really like him, but
wasn't letting herself get overly involved. There was just
too much going on. But that didn't stop Ethan from helping
her in her quest to discover what had happened to Sutton.
In the meantime, Sutton's friends, Madeline, and Charlotte,
as well as her sister, Laurel all believed that Emma was
actually Sutton. It was through them that Emma found out
about The Lying Game. This was a rather diabolical game that
they played consisting of some serious practical jokes. They
played them on each other. It seems that a huge joke is
currently in the works, but Emma can't quite figure out if
it's real or a prank.
While Emma goes through the process of trying to find Sutton
and Sutton's killer, Sutton watches from the place she has
gone following her death. Sutton can see everything through
Emma's eyes, but her memory is quite faulty of the things
that happened in her life. Without Emma, she wouldn't
remember anything. What's even worse, she can't remember
what happened to her, who killed her or even where her body
was left. She does know, however, that Emma is in a lot of
danger, but there's nothing she can really do about it. All
she can do is watch from wherever she is and hope that Emma
can figure things out before it's too late.
Something else that Sutton is learning is that she wasn't a
very nice person when she was alive. That stings more than
she would have thought. Now, she wishes she could go back
and redo some things that she had done in her life. She
can't go back, though. All she can do is watch helplessly
while Emma and Ethan investigate, and hope that they find
the killer before Emma ends up dead, too.
If you've been watching THE LYING GAME television series,
you'll find NEVER HAVE I EVER, the second book in the
series, to be a bit different. The characters are mostly the
same, but many things are different in the books than the
series. For instance, in the books, Sutton is dead and in
the television series, she's very much alive, which causes
the problems to be even more complicated. So don't expect
the books to follow along with the television show. However,
Sara Shepard has created an interesting and, at times, mean
spirited, world that you're going to love being a part of.
The only problem is that you're going to want to read the
next book IMMEDIATELY!
My perfect life was a lie. Now I’d do anything to uncover
the truth. Not long ago, I had everything a girl could wish
for: amazing friends, an adorable boyfriend, a loving
family. But none of them know that I’m gone—that I’m dead.
To solve my murder, my long-lost twin sister, Emma, has
taken my place. She sleeps in my room, wears my clothes, and
calls my parents Mom and Dad. And my killer is watching her
every move. I remember little from my life, just flashes and
flickers, so all I can do is follow along as Emma tries to
solve the mystery of my disappearance. But the deeper she
digs, the more suspects she uncovers. It turns out my
friends and I played a lot of games—games that ruined
people’s lives. Anyone could want revenge . . . anyone could
want me—and now Emma—dead. From Sara Shepard, the #1 New
York Times bestselling author of the Pretty Little Liars
books, comes a riveting series about secrets, lies, and
killer consequences.
