We Were Liars
By E. Lockhart
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary/ Mystery
Personal Rating: 8/10

There has been a lot of hype about this book lately and I've been meaning to read it for a long time. It won the 2014 Goodreads Choice Award for the Young Adult Fiction category. The big thing about this book is that you don't really know what it's about until you start reading it, and you don't even know what's really going on until the very end. That's part of the appeal, therefore it's going to be difficult to write a review without spoiling it.

"A 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."

E. Lockhart's writing style in this book is very poetic and I was captivated until the end. The mystery aspect was thrilling and I will say that I was not disappointed with the ending. Keep the tissue box nearby, this is a tear jerker. That, unfortunately, is all I can say without giving away too much. I really enjoyed this book but there is some language in it, so it's definitely for an older audience.
