jenwoodrum 's review for:
We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart
Woah, what an interesting read! It went by very quickly. The ending blew me away and made me want to go back and reread parts of the book to piece everything together.
Some might criticize the writing style because it was a bit flat and disjointed, but I think that was the point. Cadence, the main character, has a traumatic brain injury and is missing pieces of her past. She experiences chronic pain and confusion and cannot remember what happened on the day she got injured, but she suspects that someone tried to hurt her.
I really liked the feel of the book, that you didn't quite know what was going on. We were super immersed in Cadence's worldview of having missing information and feeling withdrawn.
I loved the little fairytales she told between chapters and it was fun to interpret what they meant to her.
