We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
4.0
3.5
This book was enjoyable as long as I didn’t take it too seriously. However, I didn’t like the romance much and most of the characters are pretty unlikable. The main driving force in We Were Liars is the anticipation of the ending, which I thought was well worth the wait.
The writing style was mainly fragmented, choppy and very dramatic in its overuse of metaphors and short sentences. Whilst it is slightly irritating, it suits the main character of Cadence, a teenager who experiences everything as if it is the end of the world. It also made for a very fast read.
I would say it is worth a read purely for the ending, which genuinely surprised me whilst still making total sense.
