thought it was kind of uneventful up until the last few chapters but GOD that ending hit me like a brick. i wish the rest of the book was a little more interesting but i do love twist endings so you’ve redeemed yourself a little bit here lockheart.

Good plot twist, but was slow, boring and repetitive throughout. Struggled to get through it and was underwhelmed.

We Were Liars is a much hyped YA novel which floors the screens of bookstagram and booktok and to be honest I avoided it for quite some time because of this. It seems to be a book that people either love or find pretty meh and unfortunately I'm in the meh camp with this one.

While the story itself started out well and I was intrigued to find out about this 'HUGE' inevitable twist, it just all fell a bit flat for me. Despite the twist being quite an alternative and interesting one I found it strangely predictable.

The characters also just didn't draw me in, I found them quite one dimensional and struggled to develop any connection or empathy.

That being said I did finish it as I wanted to see how things panned out so it wasn't a complete disaster. And for some curious reason I am considering reading Family Of Liars, maybe in hope that some blanks would be filled?

This is marketed at a YA market and I can definitely see how it could be enjoyed by that audience but this one just wasn't a hit for me!
