This was not fun. I only finished this book because I heard promises of a great twisty ending. It left me feeling meh. Not shocked or outraged or slighted. Just underwhelmed. The whole story felt super pretentious and unrelatable, more like watching an episode of The Kardashians where they’re bitching over shoes that cost more than a tropical vacation. Genuinely do not understand the hype. 

The one thing I will give this book is the RARE representation for chronic illness. I appreciated the portrayal of chronic pain via Cadence’s migraines.

a fun and twisty read with nice characters and very readable language. however it's also a little bit confusing and slightly boring—even, or especially, after having re-read it.

Wow I just finished we were liars and the plot twist.. it was predictable but the way it was written made me feel for the liars and right now its 1am and I dont think I'm gonna be able to sleep I'm going to be thinking of this all night. I wish the writing were a little better and the characters were more loveable and diverse but overall I think it deserves 4.5 stars
