We Were Liars

Average rating3.5
I don't know where to begin with this book. I honestly do not understand why this has such mixed reviews, it's such a difficult read. So much so, that I almost DNF this book, but the OCD in me would not allow me to do that.
So I trudged through this book, which just annoyed me even more, as this was meant to be one of my quicker reads on my TBR, but it ended up taking me way too long.
There was nothing redeemable in this book for me: took way too long to get to the plot of this book - the book rambles on for about 90% with no story whatsover. Just a girl pining over a guy with a love story that's not believable, complaining about how her family doesn't understand her, and feeling that she has every right to pass judgment on everyone else in her family.
The payoff in the end where the big mystery is revealed was so underwhelming after having spent the majority of the book wanting to pull my hair out - I could not deal with the way this book was written. Whatever the author was trying to accomplish with those broken sentences clearly went over my head.
I don't know if I'm missing something, but this just wasn't for me. Off to find a book to cleanse me of this miserable experience.
