We Were Liars

by E. Lockhart

[whisperingchapters]

I love contemporary novels along with mystery but this one didn't do it for me because it was slow. It was VERY slow-paced for me. If it had been a shorter book, I wouldn't have minded much, to be honest. The whole book was slow, the story was slow, the characters sometimes wouldn't do it for me and I had a hard time reading this book. It took me 22 days to read We Were Liars..22 days. It wasn't book that I just had to keep reading because it was interesting. Yes, I wanted to know what was going on in the story and what had happened but it wasn't enough to make me want to read it at once.

The only time it really got to me and really got me hooked were the last few chapters when everything is revealed. I was mind blown completely; totally unexpected and I never saw that one coming. Maybe some people did, but I definitely didn't. The ending made up for the rest of the slow-paced book. Writing this short review, I look at the book (it is next to me) and I can't believe it really got me good. It freaked me out a bit when I finished reading, but it doesn't matter because that ending was amazing.

I really loved the ending, how everything played out and the goodbyes even if it did creep me out but I think it was a good way to end that part of the story. A lot of things of the story finally made sense, with the e-mails and how they wouldn't hang out. I knew something had happened but to that extent...it never crossed my mind. It is a very slow-paced books but with an amazing ending.
