angelademaral 's review for:

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
2.75
emotional mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

This book had the potential to be a lot more than it was. The plot twist at the end was pretty well-done and I definitely didn't see it coming. Not a huge fan of the writing style and it's REALLY heavy-handed with the metaphor (to the point of it being a distraction). I also think there was an opportunity for it to be good disability representation with Cadence's chronic pain/migraines, but that was barely touched on or addressed throughout the book other than mentions of her missing events or having to take drugs.
