BOOK Review: "We were liars" by E. Lockhart

So here the book I recently finished reading (click on the pic to see what the hype is about). It is not so long, and I think I finished it in about 2 hours (fast reader much, eh?) and what can I say... I felt absolutely nothing /in the end/.
I mean, it's quite fine, really and you should probably read it if you are:

1) a fan of YA books with sad ends and unexpected plot twists;

2) a fan of Pretty Little Liars series, because somehow the main heroine and her family reminded me of Spencer Hastings and her lovely relatives.
Maybe it's just me, but let me know if you also found similarities between these?

3) you are tired of supernatural fictions and you just want to try out something more...normal and summerish.

To be honest, while I was reading this story, I felt like it was playing on my nerves. Balancing on the edge between "this story is amazing" and "this dumb thing annoys me and why am I even reading this". And as a result, all positive and negative points had faded into one - nothing.

I am not quite a "whatever" type of a person when it comes to the books I check out, 95% of time I am able to form a positive or negative opinion after reading a story, but this one... This one is something. So despite my mood, you should check this one out, as it's certainly not just an ordinary story of a teenager's screws ups.

I also seen people grumbling about weird narrator style of this book, but it did not bother me at all, though to each their own.

So, summing it all up, if I were to rate this one, for a nice plot and an attempt to bring me to tears with shocking finale chapters (minus poorly written characters, which did not gain my sympathy much) - 6/10.
