i’ve read this book at the age of 15. and it was on my shelves for years, and now i see it everywhere, so i decided to re-read it.
this time i immediately got the whole thing, ‘cause i’ve read it, and it was impactful back then. and now i’m crying.
this book was 5 starts 8 years ago and still is.

We Were Liars was one of those books that sat on my to-read list for quite some time. My previous knowledge of E. Lockhart (I was a fan of the Ruby Oliver series), combined with the rave reviews this novel was getting, made this a must read for me. Well, I finally got around to reading it, and let me say the praised heaped on this novel is well deserved and what they say is true, the less you know about this book the better. So I will add my praise to the pile, while making it as succinct and vague as possible.
This novel hits that rare sweet spot of both wanting to devour the pages for thrilling plot, while also wanting to slowly take in each delightful phrase. That being said, the novel is not very long so it is best consumed in one sitting, perhaps over a long afternoon, in an attempt to satisfy both of those urges.
One complaint this novel has gotten is in regards to the writing style, but I found myself drawn in from the very first passage. It is quite lovely in parts and feels perfectly suited to the story being told.
There isn’t much else to say, save that I truly enjoyed the experience of reading this novel. I highly recommend it to anyone, even those who don’t normally read Young Adult fiction. And I promise that you can trust me, I wouldn’t lie.

Despite predicting the plot twist early on, this book was a fun read. I think many of my students will like this one.

To be honest I found this book mostly boring. The 'reveal/twist' was pretty fun, otherwise I just didn't find this very interesting. It is mostly rich people having rich people problems and teens being teens. It was fine, but nothing that really stood out to me.
