We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

3.0

I think maybe I should stop looking for recommendations online if I don’t want to be disappointed. So many people said this book had an amazing plot twist, and it was so heart wrenching, etc. but I could tell the other Liars were dead as soon as she went to the island in summer 17; it just felt so obvious to me. I was also really annoyed with the amount of Privilege in the book. And the one time they try to address it, it either results in senseless death or is a poor way of addressing guilt. That having been said, the book was hard to put down although the structure (i.e. breaking the sentences across several lines) was sometimes really unnecessary. Overall, a solid 3.5/5 read.
