About the Book :
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.
We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart.
Read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
My Thoughts :
This will be a short review. This will be the review I would have wanted to read before reading the book.
It’s simple :
Read this book. Don’t read the reviews. Don’t read the comments. Just pick the book, and read it.
It’s well written and fascinating. Complex, enough to be read again.
There’s a story, drama, mystery. Teenagers, summers, an island. And that’s pretty much all you need to know.
The less you know going in, the better. So try and go in knowing nothing, so that you’ll expect nothing.
Without being completely spoiled, I went in expecting things, and while I enjoyed my experience, it made me more aware of my reading than I would have liked. I’m the only one to blame here, but if you haven’t heard much about the book yet, don’t be like me and avoid comments as much as you can!
This was a great start to my YA Contemporary Month – and a favorite this year! This is a book you pick to experience something, question your reading, and discuss as a book. Stunning and captivating.
Read it!
