secondly, i think i almost like this story more with time, it’s something i still think about and feel sad about.
this book was unlike the books i normally gravitate towards so in that way it was something new and interesting. some people are hesitant to read YA but this book didn’t have that cringey, dumbed down vibe that YA books typically get a bad rep for.
i like how nothing was over-explained; the author respects the readers enough that they are following along and leaves them with questions (but not in a bad way). it deals with heavy topics and doesn’t shy away from the uglier parts of life.

The final reveal felt out of place when considering the foreshadowing in the book. It was almost mystical in a way the rest of the book wasn't, which was confusing and drew me out of the rest of the story.
Overall I really enjoyed this authors use of language and dialogue, they have a wonderful way with words. This book just isn't for me, unfortunately

We Were Liars focuses on the relationship dynamic between family and oneself, and the acceptance of illusion aligned with grief. A novel with underlying mysteriousness and a void to question the validity of the storyline, e. lockhart portrays life's dilemma's with conviction and doubt at the same time.
For the ones who find life's chaos entertaining, but confusing to tangle out of.
