Overall, I found "We Were Liars" to have a boring storyline with obnoxious characters, especially Cadence who was an unreliable narrator and a whingy teenager. The writing style annoyed me - it was too choppy and descriptive. However, I did not see the twist at the end, hence the extra half-star. ( ![]() This book was such a beautiful read. The imagery of summers spent, the metaphors Cadence uses to describe her feelings are so gut wrenching. Everything about this book was special and it is definitely one of my favourites. There is a reason it is so often recommended. Oof.... SPOILERS AHEAD!: I have mixed feelings for this book. The book wasn't bad, but I wouldn't read it again. I borrowed it from the library because of all the extreme hype it was gathering because of the twist towards the end. I thought the writing style was unique and pretty cool, but for me, the twist wasn't an "oh crap!" moment. The story in some parts felt like there was a lot of events to keep track off, and for me it felt like it was a bit slow in some parts. I had kinda suspected throughout the story that Cady was making it all up and just hallucinating (I watched the movie Adrift that night lol) because of the amnesia. Turns out they were all ghosts, which isn't far off. Overall, it's a quick read, and once you get towards the exciting, it's a page turner!! Really good read. Finished it within less than 24 hours. I did expect 80% of the outcome. Still enjoyable.
Of course I won't reveal the twists and turns of the cunning plot, but I can say that when the secret at the heart of the book is finally revealed, it turns out to be nastier and more shocking than anything I had imagined. This is a cunning, clever and absolutely gripping novel, full of surprises, which sent me straight back to its first page as soon as I reached the last. What really makes a book of the summer is when we surprise ourselves. It’s not just about being fascinated by a book. It’s about being fascinated by the fact that we’re fascinated. The odds:4-1 We Were Liars E. Lockhart Pros: Rich people on an island; sharp, funny-sad writing; a head-snapping fourthquarter reveal. Cons: It’s a YA novel, so some adults might pass.
