We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
1.5
emotional mysterious sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Truthfully the only reason I didn’t DNF this book was because I had access to both the physical copy and audio format so I could read the whole thing in only a few hours.

Unfortunately I just really didn’t enjoy this book. I found the main POV character quite dull and her romantic relationship wasn’t very interesting either.

The writing style left a lot to be desired for me as all the emotional points and character development felt very surface level for over 80% of the book. The short chapters would trick you into thinking it’s a fast moving plot, but really alot of it felt so unnecessary and just felt like padding. 

The plot overall was okay - though did feel like it took a while to get into, and whilst I didn’t 100% predict the ending as such - I had predicted a pretty large part of it by the 35% mark
(that at least one or more of the main characters are dead - granted I thought it may have been the MFC - but I was still very close)
so by the end of it all I felt very underwhelmed.
