A review by katy_bee
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Definitely a page turner, Cadence's voice was a bit grating at first but I got used to it.

The teen romance didn't irritate me as it usually does, perhaps because it was so clearly treated as a teen crush rather than a deep love between soulmates.

The unraveling mystery of grandfather interested me a little more than the main mystery but overall a well handled modern gothic with a touch of social commentary
