We were liars by E Lockhart ...

[Bellatrixurstrange]

Just finished this and wept like a fool. Can anyone recommend any books to read next?
I like psychological, crime thrillers and dystopian stuff. I enjoyed Girl on the Train, Gone Girl, Luckiest girl in the world, Keep your friends close that kind of thing. I do not mind young adult fiction either - I'm not pretentious about the intended audience and my very old actual age.

I also loved His Dark Materials, Game of Thrones etc. I enjoy books which have twists, deliberately misleading etc.

Any suggestions very heartily welcomed on my breaks from the gardening.

Loved this so much. Really really drawn into it. I didn't guess any of it. Have you read The Greengage Summer?

No I haven't! Oh I'm so glad someone else got drawn into it too! I think the book will stay with me and as soon as I finished I re-read it just as predicted on the blurb on the back of it. I cried and cried! Emotional fool! I will definitely try The Greengage Summer, thanks!

I remember being bowled over by this book and didn't guess either! In fact in a rare occurrence I might re-read!

WhatamIdoinghereanyway It will stick with me for a while I know that for certain!

The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge

Thanks traviata

and you have probably already read the big sister of them all, 'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt?

If you enjoyed that, you might also like 'The Goldfinch' by her - it's less like 'We Were Liars' in my opinion, and more rollicking, more Dickensian, more of a yarn.

That funny because the last 3 books mentioned are 4 of my favourites

No I haven't read The Secret History! Sounds right up my street! I'm excited to get all these recommendations! Thanks everyone who has posted!

Have you read The Girl With All The Gifts?

I've just got this & will get stuck into it soon, sounds like a great read!
