We Were Liars book review

Hello all, welcome back!

Firstly, I'm sorry for missing Wednesday, I had a very busy day of uni work and blogging completely slipped my mind. Because of this I've decided to update only on Sunday's. So every Sunday from now on I'll upload but no more Wednesday's, this means I can juggle uni work, blog stuff as well as having a day off and time to do stuff. 
Anyway, now onto the actual blog!


This week for my final weekday blog I thought I would give you all a small book review of We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
I read this book just over a month ago and have been meaning to do a review ever since! I'm a huge bookworm - as nerdy as that may be - and since moving to uni I've had way too little time dedicated to reading. 
I hadn't heard of this book, nor its author, when I bought it (from ASDA for £3.85) but the blurb sounded good and for £4 I thought it would make a decent read for the 2 hour train journey to Edinburgh, if nothing else. But now I've read it I am so glad I got it, this book is about a girl called Cadence Sinclar Eastman and her family who all live on a private island off the coast of Massachusetts in America. The book takes you through the adventures she has with her cousins over the course of summer holidays over a few years, it goes through good times and bad times both personally and with issues surrounding her family. The great thing about this book is that it's so relatable in many ways which means you can really put yourself in the story and get into it. It makes you laugh as well as cry and is such a heartfelt honest book. It's only 250/300 words which means that it's not going to take you weeks on end to finish, and you can quickly get into the story and follow the characters individually. 

I would highly reccomend this book to people who like reading books such as The Fault In Our Stars and Perks of Being a Wallflower. If you have read it please let me know what you thought and also let me know any books which you've recently read and think I would enjoy!
Thanks for reading, stay golden!
