We Were Liars, by E. Lockhart - Restarting August 21st 2023

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 42 (view spoiler)[ "Don't take no for an answer" sounds like a good motto for a rapist. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 43 (view spoiler)[ stop using the word 'suboptimal' it's not that clever! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Chapter 35 - Can this just finish now? I'm so bored!

Yep.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 81 (view spoiler)[ I propose a name change for this book - 'We Were Idiots'. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

part 5 'the truth' is actually quite interesting.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

the end (view spoiler)[ that wasn't very impressive. only 10% of the book was actually interesting, and I guessed that Gat was dead from the beginning. What idiots! I mean how stupid do you have to be?! as if setting fire to a house isn't a terrible, terrible thing to do anyway, setting fire to a house that your friends are inside of?! Insane!!! She should be in jail!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

(view spoiler)[ Defiantly more fitting! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "the end [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Absolutely insane!! She should be! (hide spoiler)]

[Ghost in the Library]

Ugh, I need to rant about this!
(view spoiler)[ I think that what Cady did was EXTREMELY STUPID. She could've warned the others before setting the whole building on fire. I mean, She could've texted them or shouted it out or done something to make sure they got out before lighting that match.
The accident wasn't tragic. It was stupid and Cady should be in jail right now. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ it was absolutely idiotic! Setting a house on fire in itself is just ridiculous, and so so wrong, and dangerous, not to mention just plain stupid. but setting a house on fire with your friends inside? that's manslaughter. This book should be renamed 'We Were Idiots', because that's what they were - idiots. Cady should definitely be in jail. (hide spoiler)]

[Tessa]

I also read till ch 20 than decided to drop this because it was freaking boring. Now that I saw your comments and spoilers I'm not that sad I didn't finish this.

Can I ask: (view spoiler)[What happened to her in the end? Was she able to rebuilt her life or this is just the story of a depressed murdered and that's all? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I think she decided to move on with her life in the end, but we didn't get details. (hide spoiler)]

[Tessa]

Thank you Sarah! :)

Now I know I've lost nothing by deciding to give this one a skip ^^.

[[deleted user]]

It's almost time to start!! :)

[Kate]

I'll give this one a try. :D Will join :)

[Kate]

Sorry I have to start early. I'm moving out tomorrow so it'll be busy.

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[Wow, how dramatic! The way she described this whole divorce thing was so poetic. I guess her dad just couldn't stand all the lying anymore. Maybe, it wasn't only his fault? (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[Awkward. I'm not sure what Gat's real intentions are. I mean he has a girlfriend but obviously he also wanted Cady. Sounds complicated. (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Chapter 13-14

(view spoiler)[Okay, so continues this dramatic talk from Cady. I'm not enjoying the way she describes her pain because she makes it exaggerated. :) And.. I'm still not getting the big deal on being a Sinclair. What is it about being part of that family? Why the big deal? (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Sadie wrote: "I think I'll join in on this. Maybe. Quite possibly. :)"

Yay! Come join! It's kind of a short read anyway :)

Chapter 23
(view spoiler)["Be normal now." Whoa, it's like there's no room for her to feel sad because crying and mourning will make her "abnormal". Hello, emotions and feelings do exist! Is she just supposed to hold it in for the sake of looking normal? That's twisted! (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Chapter 40
(view spoiler)[The princess married a mouse? I'm guessing they didn't have children? x_x (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Chapter 58
(view spoiler)[So it was their fault that a new house had to be build? Whhy? What happened? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 67
(view spoiler)[Things are becoming clearer now. The Sinclair sisters have become insane! I'm so proud of the Liars for not giving in to their parents and granddad. Greedy greedy greedy! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

I will be reading this :)

[Rachel]

Just finished! I started a tad early cause typically I'm a slower reader but got really into this book and read it in just 2 days!

(view spoiler)[I kind of felt that maybe Gat was dead during most of the book, but finding out that all 3 of them had died really threw me for a loop! I felt like the wind was knocked out of me when I finally got the truth and realized what Cady had done and that she lost her 3 cousins, her grandparents dogs, and essentially some of her sanity. What a sad, lonely and guilt-filled life. Then thinking back to all of her encounters with the liars when they were really actually dead gave a whole new perspective on just what they were saying and trying to tell her.

I know a lot of people above found this book boring and didn't care for it, but I actually really enjoyed it and it was a very fast moving read for me. I will recommend it to my friends! (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

I'll join

[Tati]

I'll be a little late on this one (it's already evening here, and I still have around 40 minutes to go on my current book

[Tati]

I share your feelings... I know the chapters are short, but ten chapters in and I still don't know what this story is about...

[Tati]

This was an awful book... What a waste of time...

[Tati]

It was full of crazy... I only pushed on because of the end, but then I got there and was like 'Seriously?'

[rachel, x]

Is this being reread on the 20th of Jan? I would love to join if it is. :)

[Beatrice]

Have fun reading it guys! Can't wait to hear your own theories about this book ;)

Thank you :)

[Rachael]

Hi guys... I started reading this yesterday.. Is anyone else?

It goes pretty quickly!

Through Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ So far this book totally reminds me of . I like how fast paced it is.. Kinda confused about why they call themselves Liars? Did I miss something? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Through chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ Cadence is entertaining but she's kind of all over the place... It's sad that she has so much lasting trauma from her accident (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

I've heard such conflicting things about this book! It won awards in 2014 but some friends who have read it said it was terrible... We'll see though

[rachel, x]

I am sorry I haven't started yet. I am going to asap but I had two review copies in desperate need of reading. I'll start this today.

[rachel, x]

Same. Its seems you even love it or loathe it with no in-between.

[Rachael]

I'm at 38% and I don't love it or hate it but we'll see how it goes

[rachel, x]

Hopefully it will end well then. :)

[Rachael]

Through chapter 37 (view spoiler)[ It's kinda sad that everyone is treating Cadence so differently.. She's probably not a drug addict, just doing what she can to keep her pain at bay... Gat is acting really weird, makes me wonder what happened that summer that she can't remember (hide spoiler)]
