morganjanedavis 's review for:
We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart
I like to sneak in some YA books every once in a while and this one did not disappoint. The writing, themes, and symbolism throughout the book was beautifully presented and well thought out. The struggles of trust fund babies and the lies, manipulation, and secrets that stacked one on top of the other made the book that much harder to put down. I didn't enjoy Cadence as much as the supporting characters but, I did enjoy reading through her character development as the book progressed. The book could be tedious at times and I could have absolutely done without the "Once upon a time.." chapters (srsly this was so cliche and annoying and something I considered skipping through EVERY TIME I HEARD IT) but the plot was so good. I did wish more of a resolve was given about the granddad's racism because Lockheart just sort of said, "Yes he is racist" and left it at that...very weird. Quick interesting read.
