Just finished WE WERE LIARS by Emily Lockhart. Totally lives up to the hype, I have to say.
It’s a novel I definitely want to reread (if you’ve read the novel yourself, you know why).
In hunting down interviews with the author, I was intrigued by the fact that Emily rewrote the novel multiple times as well as reorganizing “over and over.” This hard work clearly paid off.
What I loved most: the voice. I only had to read a sample excerpt to be hooked, and immediately bought the book for my Kindle.
