How does one write a review for a book that is terribly easy to spoil?
We Were Liars, is a book i'd heard about for a few months, especially on booktube. It sounded intriguing, from what you can know about this book, so I was more than willing to give this book a try.
And can I tell you that am I happy I did. That plot twist was all:
dkgbjdrx,h gdktfnxg ifgmh, and the book had me all over the place in terms of emotions and feelings.
The book follows the Liars, a group of teenagers nicknamed this for reasons. They are; Cadence Sinclair (narrator), Mirren & Johnny Sinclair and Gat Patil (a family friend of sorts). The book follows the events that take place every summer on a privately owned island (the old timer viewed grandfather owns it). On the fifteenth visit/summer on the island an event happens, that shapes all future summers.
This book contains so many twists and turns you will want to read it in one sitting (I did anyway).
The book is best to be read, with knowing nothing about it, or as little as possible, it is either a hit or miss book (one I found a hit), that will keep your emotions all tangled up.
All in all if this book doesn't emotionally destroy you, it will shock you.
Rating: ★★★★
