Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated We Were Liars in Books
Jan 6, 2021
2.5 - 3 stars. I haven't decided yet which.
I found the style very grating, it wasn't a comfortable one for me at all. The way sentences were written across various lines and stuff...I didn't get it.
The story. Well, after the 30% mark I'd gotten used to how it was written and I was intrigued enough to stick with it until the end and I was surprised and also not. It reminded me a little of another book I'd read.
I don't think I'll be reading more of the authors work.

Enjoyable if you love word play but not for everyone
I enjoy word games and therefore like playing this game. However, it is a hard game to learn and I'm not sure it works for families as my teens struggled to think of decent clues. Doesn't work so well with low number of players as you have to rely too much on NPGs. Good if you have a few wordy people.
