*4.5 (might be a better review coming idk this sucks)


The writing in here sucked, the characters were weak, but everyone told me this book will be worth it when you get past the 75% mark. When everything comes together and you get the plot twist you will never guess. And when I tell you those people were right, they were exceptionally right.


How do I even put my feelings about this book into words??? I don’t even know how I actually feel about We Were Liars. I really was bored the first 50% of this, but when everything came together and the plot twist at the end, oh my God was it worth it.


This is going to be all over the place. I felt so many things reading this. Boredom, confusion, intrigue, more confusion, a slow realization, shock, and sadness. I cried. I haven’t cried reading a book since February when I read Wuthering Heights (off topic, but Wuthering Heights is referenced in here and I squealed) and this just brought out so much emotion in me.


This review sucks ass already but wow. Wow is all I have to say. This was weird and trippy and it’s one of the books you need to read if you love unreliable narrators. I’m great (at least self proclaimed greatness) at guessing plot twists but I would have never guessed the ending for this.


Bottom line, this book mind fucked me (in a good way) and gave me that unreliable narrator trope I’ve always wanted to read. The mystery in here is so small yet so big, and I’m glad Booktok finally got me to read this. Read it, that’s all.


Sorry this review sucks, I just haven’t wrote a nice review for a book in so long and I can’t coherently put together a review right now. (But yay I might be out of my reading slump!)
