The Lying Game Books Are Way Messier Than Pretty Little Liars 😳📚

[@floradarvas2121]

I never watched the show or read the books but I'm always here watching Gavin spilling the tea😅😅

[@GavinReadsItAll]

There was a LOT of tea to spill with this one 👀

[@Jodecisweet]

Just started watching and the reason you can’t remember is because the tv show changed it so much !!! In the tv show Sutton is alive and they meet each other and they’re trying to find their birth parents. Emma stands in and pretends to be Sutton while she goes off and tries to find them.

Two things, I love that you pronounced Tucson as Tuc-son. It's two-sawn but I will only ever call it tuc-son instead bc it was cute. 2nd, you keep feeding us so well, king! You're so busy with the move and you're still popping out banging feature length films

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Omg haha I should have looked up a pronunciation!! It's Arkansas all over again haha

[@beckyduff]

@@GavinReadsItAll pronunciation of some States is just weird lol.

[@CúánCrafts]

Not weird, just not English. Most "weird" place names are from an Indigenous language, and/or French or Spanish influenced

[@fanpiresam482]

The last book's ending sounds like it would heal the almost 20 year wound that The Lovely Bones left on me. For the girl to choose her sister over a boy.

YESS! Those books were my shit! The tv show adaptation however was an abomination

[@acorntea5585]

Sara Shepard's warped idea of what "pranks" are is mildly concerning.

I ATEEEEE these books up when they came out

[@GavinReadsItAll]

You ate WELL because these books are SO GOOD

[@sophiaross5924]

i found the first book in a DOLLAR STORE when i was a kid and was absolutely hooked but i forgot about this series until today so i’m so shocked that there is such a recent video talking about it- i have to re-read it first but i WILL be back soon to actually watch the video

[@aylin7925]

Sutton as the narrator of the series was a smart choice, I really enjoyed this video, thank you Gav!!

[@foreverpumpkin7776]

The ABC family days were the best 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Agreed! Just not the same now with Freeform :(

[@annahks]

I remember when I first read book 1 that I looked at that Ethan and was like “yeah he’s the killer” even though I had no evidence to back it up but when I finally got to the bathroom scene in book 6….. oh 13yo me was OVERJOYED

[@lora5030]

Tbh the police portrayal actually seems quiet realistic considering their irl record. Very recently there was horrific report about cops basically mentally torturing a man who reported his father missing to get a confession from him that he killed his father. Like they threatened to shoot his dog and 'gave' him an hour to say goodbye to his dog. Mind you there was no body or anything. And then of course the father is found alive and well. So arresting somebody who was missing and setting their bail high to get back at them seems on par.

[@jessicaboyle2419]

I just signed on to your patreon! I’ve never read the lying game, watched the lying game, or heard of the lying game before today but I was SO INVESTED in this story! You are such a good storyteller!

[@josea.tinoco7422]

I watched the show and I didn't like Ethan and Emma and I remember a lot of people shipping them. Now I finally know how the book series ended! I love your content, Gavin Love from Spain ❤️

[@Jodecisweet]

Also the lying game is on itvx in the UK if you want to watch it again !

[@GavinReadsItAll]

!!!! I need to get on it ASAP!

[@monas-we9pk]

Oh my god, i loved these books! Read them like 10years ago and was obsessed! I watched the show and remember it being completely different from the books. I would like to reread the series and see if I still love it as much as I did 10 years ago..

[@GavinReadsItAll]

The books are so fun, I hope when you re-read you'll still love them!

[@NorthStar3922]

I never watched the series nor read the books, but I loved how this became a solve along. I had to know who did it 😊

[@AliDoisRead]

Ahhhh bless you for this feature film to watch while I drown in work emails this morning!! 🙌 not sure what you think yet but this series had me so gagged when it came out 🤩

I hope work wasn't too bad yesterday when you watched this but hope I helped make it slightly better

Must admit I've never read or seen the TV series but really enjoyed listening. Have a wonderful weekend and hope your move is going smoothly. Barbara

[@iliannal]

What the actual f* was this series 😂 never read it but definitely enjoyed watching Gavin summarising the books. Great video 🩵

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ahh thanks so much for watching!!

[@BaileeWalsh]

"This isn't just book logic, this is Sara Shepard logic." such true words! I read the first couple books in the Lying Game series, if not the first three. But Sara Shepard did the same thing with increasing the number of books the series. PLL originally ended with 8 until the show aired and then when the TLG books were announced she said it was going to be 4 books. Already with you getting into the first book I didn't remember Sutton being dead because I remember the show pretty well. so do you know who the 3rd sister is or is that not brought up again?

[@kaddline6699]

omg I have been soooo excited for another long series reading vlog!! This is just prime content ♥️♥️♥️

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Been biding my time for the right series!

[@Virgo__]

Never heard of the show or books, but I really enjoyed this. The quote about the sisters not being stars, but a constellation, and how they would always be together- really got to me, and made me cry just listening to you repeat it 😂😂. It made me think of me and my sister, and how we would cope if anything ever happened to one of us.

[@jessika5297]

35:36 my sister and i "prank" each other by saying the most ridiculous lies then saying haha pranked you!! for example i asked my sister if she liked this present i got her. she said no. i was like oh 😔 then she said i love it! haha pranked you!! and it's just so ridiculous because it's just the littlest thing ever and not really a "prank" but it's funny

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Wish my siblings were like this. Their pranks usually had them ganging up on me to destroy whatever I was playing with at the time, like crayons and toys. Maybe I have some unresolved trauma from that haha

[@jessika5297]

[@robertharris3671]

I read this series when it first came out and I loved it! I thought it was Char’s dad too for that moment in the begin of the book too lol and I was mad that it was Ethan because of how obvious it was 🤣 I loved your video! Brought back great memories. And the show was canceled WAY too soon. Idk if you’ve read Sara’s The Perfectionists but it’s definitely a good read in the same way PLL and TLG are

[@dovilegaba]

I have never even heard of these series, but I love your long videos, so I watched it all to the end. Amazing work! So entertaining and immersive, perfect for the evening

[@spaceorc1397]

Just finished listening, and one major thing is bothering me. The whole time Emma is pretending to be Sutton, isn't Emma technically "missing"? Is no one looking for her? Is her absence ever explained??

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Her foster parent kicked her out so no one was looking for Emma, since she had been bounced around so much and didn’t really make many connections except her friend Alex who she would text every now and then

[@spaceorc1397]

@@GavinReadsItAll Ah okay. But what about school?

[@BaileeWalsh]

@@spaceorc1397 Emma is kicked out on her 18th birthday so technically I don't think she has to go to school anymore if she didn't drop out. And I think that also means the school wouldn't have to get involved or follow through with being concerned. Plus, if they did contact her foster mom she would just give them the leaving/getting kicked out on her 18th birthday story. So no one has a responsibility towards her, allowing her to vanish without concern or legal measures.

[@MagicWithinStudios464]

I've never read the books though I've meant to, but I watched the tv show. Throughout this, I remembered bits and pieces, like with Sutton and Emma's birth parents, which was nice, but I'm not going to think about the tv show, because I'm pretty sure that it left off on a cliffhanger, and we'll never get more, and I don't want to revisit it. But I'll definably give the books a try!

Awesome video as usual! Never thought to read these books, but of course following along with your vlog made me want too😂 I do remember the show, but never watched it all the way through. So enjoyable, as always Gavin. You are a gem on booktube, thank you for great content and for being fantastic!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you so much 😭

[@loujanae31]

I had no idea there was a TV show, but I did read the first book when I was in high school! I remember picking it up because I thought it was a stand-alone lol. I was so disappointed at the ending (of the first book cuz that's all I ever read), but hilariously I didn't remember a single thing that you talked about. And usually I'm pretty good at remembering book plots and characters even from years ago. Feels like this series (TV or otherwise) was deleted from all of our memories 😂

[@mkayyy1918]

GAVIN THIS IS GIVING ME WAR FLASHBACKS WHEN I WAS IN MY SARA SHEPHERD ERA IN 9TH GRADE

[@jacytodd]

I remember when this show aired on ABC Family. It was the summer before my freshmen year of college. I was super into it but forgot about it as college started and I moved away from home. I couldn’t remember what the show was called though, until Gavin mentioned it several videos ago, in preparation for this video. Seems like there are several differences between the books and the show. Glad for this video from Gavin!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

After reading the books, I think the TV show is completely different since Sutton is alive from the beginning in the show but dead in the books. I kinda wish they went the route of the books!

[@annahks]

OH MY GOD I USED TO LOVE THESE BOOKSSSSS

[@ilissajames2973]

I loved your video about the PLL book series, so I had to watch this. I wasn't gonna read them myself, lol ❤

[@alyssahumphres1082]

I'm at the part where you're reading the last book and something big was found and Emma's ID plays a role. (I'm trying to be vague lmao, I don't want to spoil others for the video lol). I think you're right about who did it.

[@becky9194]

You missed your calling you should have been a detective 😃 Great video

[@AliDoisRead]

ahhh this was so great! for some reason LOL when I think back to this series I was so sure that Emma got murdered at the end 🤣 idk what kinda sick twist my mind played on me but loved revisiting this with you!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

OOOO that would have been interesting, and then Emma and Sutton really would have been together finally

[@rhernandez720]

As someone who watched the series multiple times and read all the books at the beginning of this video I’m like the reason none of this rings a bell is that the tv show fully changed the plot and the twin doesn’t die.
