lollllll this book was bad. but it’s ok bc it was entertaining enough and i will say i did not expect that twist at the end. so there’s that! but yeesh it was lacking in subtlety… it felt like it was whacking me over the head with a board (so to speak) of the points it was trying to make about money and privilege and race and all that. like… oof. lowkey the woke mob got to this one. but not terrible bc hey i was entertained

This was good. I really didn’t know what to expect when I went into this but I enjoyed it. The writing style is odd like we were  liars were, but after a while you just get used to how it’s written. I honestly really like the main character and she did nothing wrong I mean she did but I forgive her. This also made me tear up at the end. I think if you enjoyed we were liars you should pick this up.
