This sounds like a great book. I would love to read it

loobylee · 20/09/2016 08:36

Haven't read it yet, but am going to get it for my holiday so, I'll be reading it in two weeks. Yippee

My 15 year old daughter would absolutely love this book, I think I'd enjoy it too x

els1234 · 20/09/2016 07:59

This sounds like a really good read, I'd love to give it a go.

CousinChloe · 20/09/2016 07:12

I loved this book. Didn't realise it was aimed at teens, just really enjoyed it.

kaydeed · 20/09/2016 07:09

This looked such an interesting book. I found the descriptions most interesting so I have bought this book for both me and my daughter to read and hopefully discuss after.

I loved this book! I found it impossible to put down. It was well written and a great story. Without giving anything away, it stayed with me long after getting to the end. I kept having little moments of realisation- ahh, so that's why ....
Teen DD also really enjoyed it and it was great to discuss it after we had both read it, neither of of successfully predicted the ending- it was a real twist that made perfect sense but couldn't be guesed. I have passed it on to others who have also loved it.
Definitely not just one for teens, highly recommended.

We've not read anything from E. Lockhart before, and always like to try books from new authors. Would love to win this prize to give it a try.

Doubtfuldaphne · 19/09/2016 21:52

This is such a fantastic book. I know it's for 'young adults' and I like to think I just about fit in to that category.
It's not a jolly and light hearted read but it'll have you hooked. It's mystery made me question a lot throughout. The way it's written is very different from other books so it's a love it or hate it style.
Without giving anything away it has a wonderful twist and I recommend it to all!

clarabella12 · 19/09/2016 21:39

was a fantastic read.

baconbap · 19/09/2016 21:35

sounds a great read

fazkin · 19/09/2016 21:24

I enjoyed the book.The idea and story line was good. The ending was good too but sadly the writing style wasn't my cup of tea.

liveotherwise · 19/09/2016 20:32

Read this with my teen last week. We both really enjoyed the writing and have loved discussing it. She was taken by surprise by the twist, while I wasn't but that might just be because I've read lots more books than she has.

grannybiker · 19/09/2016 19:42

Sounds exactly the sort of thing Peter enjoys. Will be looking out for it in the bookshop

flowersfromheaven · 19/09/2016 19:23

No not read it yet but would love to as I enjoying reading, We Were Liars sounds a very interesting read.

Ladylucky99 · 19/09/2016 18:05

Really enjoyed it and so did my cousin who is a real book worm. Lots of drama and makes you want to read on, very enjoyable for me at 27 and my cousin at 16 :-)

SandraMay38 · 19/09/2016 17:21

Sounds very intriguing!

lisaell · 19/09/2016 16:48

Me and dd havent read this yet, but hopefully will do soon, she is a complete bookworm and reads everything.

devans79 · 19/09/2016 15:46

fingers crossed my teen would like this

mumpetuk1 · 19/09/2016 15:41

My sister is reading it at the moment and I am having it after her. She said it is very good so have great expectations

Looks like a good book, even for twenty-somethings!

pyramidblaster1 · 18/09/2016 19:43
