Seven Ways We Lie had potential to be an amazing YA novel but fell short in many areas. First off, I would like to give the author credit because this is the first YA novel that I have read that has had a pansexual character AND an asexual character. The characters in this book are very unique and each have their own, unique story. Unfortunately, since this book is told from seven different perspectives I did not get to know all of the characters as well as I had wanted to. Besides the lack of character development, having seven different perspectives made it hard to concentrate understand the storyline. At times I became so bored with the novel that I would put it down and not open it again for a whole week. Finally, one day when I was too sick to go to school I decided I had to finish the novel. The ending was at most average. It had nothing that shocked me or surprised me. I was not impressed to say the least.
