We Were Liars

The book was a 3 out of 5 stars for me. It was just okay. I found the characters hard to relate to as spoiled rich kids with “first world” problems. It had a lot of typical YA cliches though that made me roll my eyes, especially when the narrator went on and on about how much Gat was the love of her life.

I did enjoy the twist (which I did not predict), but I also didn't feel that it was believable that  the characters would just burn a whole house down like that, even if they DID drink a lot of wine. They just didn't exhibit any destructive behavior beforehand. The fairy-tales in between the chapters got old fast, too.

I listened to this on audiobook, which is probably the preferred way if you don't like the “prose” style of writing like I do. I probably would have given it 2 stars if I had read it instead of listening it. The narrator of the audiobook, however, was very good.
