I cried so much in the end that my nose got blocked, solid narration, honestly just read it to reduce my physical tbr pile but it was a really good book, it's a bit boring in the beginning but it doesn't take away the twist that changes everything in the end

It's weird, this book is weird. I like it but I hate it. It has some good elements, but the writing just ticks me off a bit. And most of the characters are absolutely insufferable

Still reeling from the story - not because of the twists but because of the storytelling and characters. The revelations and losses hit so beautifully because of the well written, subtle and intimate passages.

We Were Liars leaves me feeling a little bit wiser. A little bit more weathered.

One of the best things about this story is that it's shown not told.

“I guess that is why they’ve been here, because I’ve needed them.”

The title makes SO much sense… Wow!
I- I’m actually shook. That can’t be how it ends…
I was really, really, not expecting that plot twist. I can’t make sense of it! I knew there was going to be a twist, but, I was thinking something completely different.

Some parts were definitely drawn out. I have the book, and I really appreciated the short chapters, but even still, some parts felt redundant. I was able to find this on Libby, so, audiobook saved this for me! Other than that, I really, really enjoyed this!!
