Review:

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart was a reread for me, and I’m glad I gave it another chance. The first time I tried, I stopped around 30%, but this time I stuck with it, and it paid off. The story is mysterious and deeply sad, with a twist that completely broke my heart. Lockhart skillfully weaves subtle clues throughout the narrative that hint at the big reveal, yet nothing truly prepares you for the emotional journey. A haunting and beautifully crafted read.
