This is a Young Adult book. I kinda like those books. They are usually easy to read, not too deep, and just plain fun. We Were Liars is all of the above.
This is a book where you feel like are getting a glimpse into the pedigree of a family. Rarely do you start reading a book and feel like the characters are real. But in this book, they are real. You are privy to their personal conversations, relationships and lives.
Lockhart has beautiful use of descriptive words. Oh, to be described as "sugar, curiosity, and rain". Or "bounce, effort and snark". Or "enthusiasm, ambition,and strong coffee". Just beautiful.
Author has a wonderful way of making you feel there. A part of. You know there is a twist coming and it is delightful suspense to wait for it. And then it comes. And you're like what?!
It's a great YA novel. Not Fault in Our Stars great. But worth reading.
