Review of 'We Were Liars' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

This was a miss for me. starting out as a too earnest love story, I held on because of my previous admiration for the author, and because a mystery was promised to me on the inside cover. When the ultimate reveal occurs, it all seems obvious and too easy for this high quality caliber author.
