(Summary from Goodreads.com)

Review: This book was incredible. It may look short, but it felt quite long. This is the type of book I was glad I read late at night during summer (best time to read it). It's a perfect summer book that would be good to read at any other time of the year as well.

It may not be the most descriptive book, but it's an amazing story and I loved that I didn't know more than the characters. The suspense basically killed me through the entire book, until the end.

We Were Liars is a mystery that I didn't figure out and I felt so stupid for not realizing what had really happened. But seriously, the ending of this book is the mother of all plot twists. Brace yourself for totally unexpected heartbreak. After reading this book, I felt like I had been hit by a truck I was so shocked and heartbroken.

Rating: 4.5 Stars.
