We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Rating: ★★★★★
I am on a roll with good books. YAY! I love when this happens. This book has been on my TBR list for a very long time, and I finally saw it at the library and grabbed it. Even with my busy schedule I devoured this in a single day. This story is witty, intelligent, fun, angsty, and absolutely thrilling. I couldn't wait to find out what happened, and I have to say, I didn't see it coming.
I firmly believe it is best to go into this book blind, so I will refrain from telling you any more. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend you pick this up, and pick it up immediately. Your library probably has it, because I am not the only person who loves this book.
Favorite Quotes:
"My story starts before the accident. June of the summer I was fifteen, my father ran off with some woman he loved more than us" (4).
"Someone once wrote that a novel should deliver a series of small astonishments. I get the same thing spending an hour with you. Also, here is a green toothbrush tied in a ribbon. It expresses my feelings inadequately" (30).
"Better than chocolate, being with you last night. Silly me, I thought that nothing was better than chocolate. In a profound, symbolic gesture, I am giving you this bar of Vosges I got when we all went to Edgartown. You can eat it, or just sit next to it and feel superior" (31).
