We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

1.0

Maybe the big reveal about the deaths would have more impact if these characters had quite literally any real development first...

Maybe I'd care about this book if the prose weren't so. much. and the plot weren't so contrived and insubstantial...

Maybe if the main character STOPPED LITERALLY MAKING THE PEOPLE OF COLOR INTO ANIMALS IN HER CONVOLUTED FAIRYTALE METAPHORS and otherwise being completely obnoxious...

... but maybe not even then.
