We Were Liars by E. Lockhart


WARNING:This will be a short review so the book is not spoiled for you!
I can't even give you a description of this book. It would spoil everything! All I can tell you about the story is this. There is a family who owns an island. Every summer they live there. 

And thats all.

I can't wrap my head around this story just yet. I can't decide what I loved and hated about it. Its been about an hour since I finished and I can already tell you that my love for this book is growing by every tick of the clock. It went a direction that I didn't really know the book was going to go and it was really really good!

This book was released in June and the hype surrounding it has exploded! A lot of people have either loved it, or absolutely hated it. I can see where both sides are coming from. The story it self is interesting and bring up so many discussion questions and ideas on life. The writing is beautiful! E. Lockhart's metaphors and foreshadows are incredible. This is one book where hype could potentially ruin the story for the reader. Some people say go into the story with no expectations, and I think that is a very good recommendation! Just get your hands on this book, devour the 225 pages in a few hours, and find people to discuss it immediately!
