We Were Liars Deluxe Edition | 
pickA twisted family tale told over time. A damaged girl who can‘t remember what happened one night in 2015. Four friends with a strong bond that turns destructive-one accident and one secret. There is a twist towards the end and I thought ‘What just happened!!”
This was a modern suspense story that was clearly written and well worth a read. Just about to start Family of Liars.
This has been in my TBR pile for a while. I saw the programme advertised on Tv so thought I‘d read it.
Just finished this so I can watch the tv series in guilt free peace
so-soI enjoyed the book however found the character development very minimal. The twist was underwhelming in ways but fun. I can't wait to watch the series now! I've heard amazing things.
I really really disliked this book, so I'm glad it at least filled a prompt!
Little rich kids and their hateful family gather on a private island and *waves hands* twisty blahblah I really don't care because the only likeable characters are the dogs.

pickThis was a reread for me. I originally read it 11 years ago but just recently saw that an adapted series will be coming out sometime this year, so I wanted to refresh my memory. What I found so enthralling this time was the reader‘s (Ariadne Meyers) voice and delivery at the end. Almost brought me to tears and nearly pulled my heart out of my chest. If you‘ve not read it on audio, I‘d definitely recommend!
pickI don't read a lot of YA, but I got pretty caught up in this and did not see the big twist coming and yeah, I really liked it. The author mentions in her notes that she worried readers would find the writing style pretentious, and I can see how it might come off that way, but after the first few (super short) chapters I was into it. It fit the story and the character.
My fav reading buddy! He loves to cuddle while I read!!

Currently reading We Were Liars by E. Lockhart! Very good so far. Don‘t often trust BookTok on their picks, but this one did not disappoint so far. Hoping the plot twist doesn‘t ruin the book.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

This book is book is beautiful. It is sublime. So poetic, so captivating. Seriously I can‘t put it down. I understand it can be a bit polarising because of the style of the writing. However it works so well for me. Can see why this had blown up on Book Tok. Seriously - We Were Liars by E.Lockheart. It is worth a try.
so-soYeah well. I read it because it won the #NewberyMedal and I needed that to finish the #52bookclub23, but finishing that challenge was about the greatest satisfaction I got out of the book. Let‘s just say I‘m not a fan of YA and the teen drama just doesn‘t work me. I can see though why my daughter loved it.
pickI really enjoyed this one. While it was predictable, it still was done really well. I was sucked into the story and didn't want to stop to do anything else. I actually wish it had been a little longer because there was still so much I wanted to know about the family that never really got wrapped up.
pickWhile I definitely figured out where the book was going I didn't get all the twists. The writing, characters & storyline all make it a book worth your time.
My entire vacation is simply favorite reading spots & all the time to read
so-soAnother summery read and a a long time tbr read!
Not a bad read, but nothing groundbreaking either. It was a good beach book if you‘re so inclined, and I semi-called the ending which is fun (even if I like my ending a little better :p)
pickI absolutely loved this book. At times it became a little confusing, but the end it such a surprise and I liked the plot line a lot. I would definitely recommend.
Updated reading bracket. Such a tough choice between We Were Liars and The Invisible Life
pickA beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.
+ twist ending & author‘s craft

We Were Liars is a novel by E Lockhart that focuses on the life of Cadence Sinclair and what it's like to live in a seemingly perfect family torn apart by secrets and lies. If you like books that have you second-guessing everything you think you know, you'll like this one. The POV in this novel is first-person limited, this can be seen through the use of the pronouns “I“ and “me“ as well as the story being told solely from Cadence's viewpoint.
so-soI really enjoyed listening to the audio book WAY more than reading this book! It was a pretty decent book however just reading it doesn‘t give you the full picture/ vibe that the audio book does.
Alright! About to start this book…. Poor things been on my shelf since last Christmas so I guess it‘s about time 😂
pickI enjoyed this YA thriller about four young people and summers spent on a private island off the coast of Massachusetts. It was completely unprepared for the shocking end!
pickI was a bit “meh” about this YA novel I‘d seen lots of buzz about; until I got to the final third and finale, which I was not expecting at all! I read books like this and wish them for my 16-year old self. It also gave me the feels of a younger, shorter The Paper Palace which I loved.
pickThat twist was shocking! I thought I knew and very quickly realized I had no idea. Wow. Good read! This was my September #doublespin too 😊 just a little late 😂 @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis is my most favourite teen fiction book, of all time. It kept me guessing until the last page. I would highly recommend this book.
so-soI liked this book but I personally feel that it was very hyped but I just didn‘t understand the massive amount of hype ❤️
pickVery much enjoyed the reread with my favourite treat. I wasn‘t sure how I‘d like it given that I knew the twist, but it‘s so well-written that I enjoyed thoroughly.
pickIncredible book! Bounces back & forth between past and current times. HUGE plot twist toward the end that sent my head spinning!
1. Yes—it‘s hard to beat a good twist!
2. My students read this for a choice book and didn‘t see the twist coming either. Their minds were blown!!
3. I can‘t think of one that does it consistently. 🤷♀️

pickThe tale of a tragedy. Tear-worthy. Incredibly well written.
We are liars
We are beautiful and privileged
We are cracked and broken
A tale of love and romance
A tale of tragedy
Which are lies?
Which is the truth?
You decide
