We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart
dark
emotional
mysterious
tense
fast-paced
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
this was
so stupid. I hated
it so
much.
I don't know why
the author
decided that they didn't
want to write
paragraphs like a normal
person.
This was so
frustrating
to read.
the format was so weird and the pacing was even worse, the first 1/4 of the story reads as a wikipedia plot overview of what happened with no emotion or whatever. This might just be a personal thing but I HATED the short sentences and how the author decided that she was going to be "artistic" (*cough* pretentious *cough*) or whatever by doing the paragraphs weird. I get that the very basic and somehow emotive in the least emotional way language is intentional but that doesn't automatically mean that it's good.
The main character's love interest was nice enough but they just introduce him and are like okay they're in love now. And then they keep up this whole "forbidden romance" thing cause she's a rich white girl and he's poc which in itself is overdone but I don't mind the cliche if it's actually done right. The author shoves down the readers throat that she's in love with him but like,,, you ever heard of "show don't tell"???
I have other complaints but I don't want to keep writing this, I've seen that a lot of people liked the story but didn't enjoy the style but I did not enjoy either, would not recommend :/
