We Were Liars Book Review




We Were Liars




5 stars 


A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.








So, I just finished We Were Liars by one of my favorite authors who doesn't come out with books often enough for my liking E. Lockhartn and it put me in a raw place. Its been a while since I've read one of her books and I forgot one important thing. Though she finishes a book with a resolution, it still leaves you with the realization that the main characters life will still go on after the pages are done. Its like watching a movie and though it's done and has a conclusion you think there must be a sequel except there is none and never will be. 

This book starts the same as it ends. That should tell you a lot about this story it should tell you that there is something not quite right. This story brings to mind something we learned  in high school about an unreliable narrator. Cadence the narrator of story screams unreliable she may or not be addicted to medication and has no memory of Summer Fifteen. She is the definition of unreliable yet she is so endearing and real that you can't help, but feel that what you read is true and that is the beauty of E. Lockhart's writing. Often you read a teen fiction novel and the main character feels so one dimensional and not real Cadence was not this character.

I'm not going to tell you too much about this book just know it put me in a raw place and I cried. That you should read it and convince everyone you know to read it just tell them its about a girl and the summer's she spends on her families island. And if they ask you how it ends just LIE.

Preorder Memebox 11 to 16!


      I love and hate the Memebox purchasing model. So basically it works like this if you aren't familiar with Memebox. Its a Korean brand. Usually it takes 17-24 days to ship and you pre-order about 3 months before it ships. 

     So you can end up buying the box for May in February even though you have yet to even receive a box yet. For example I pre-ordered 8 to 10 back in February, but I won't be receiving 8 till April,since it takes so long to ship. Regardless I'm still going to pre-order 11 to 13 because Memebox has proven to be a great deal and I love being exposed to products I wouldn't normally. 

MEMEBOX

The original Memebox comes packed with 4 - 8 full sized products and deluxe samples, carefully curated from Korea to give you the best experience and widest exposure to a range of products.Boxes in each Memebox series always contain the same products, and contents vary from hair and body products, to skin-care and cosmetics.


11 to 13 cost $75.99 save 15%
11 to 16 cost $144.99 save 20%


Memebox #11: May 24th
Memebox #12: June 24th
Memebox #13: July 24th
Memebox #14: August 24th
Memebox #15: September 24th
Memebox #16: October 24th

The Bachelor

So I'm sure as you all know the bachelor came to a close last night. I don't particular like the bachelor I'm more of a the bachelorette fan. I think its because I see the bachelorette as one nice, beautiful woman's search to find true love in the arms of a really hot guy. While the bachelor is one hot, okayish, guy looking to hook up with as many beautiful woman as he can and if he happens to find love along the way great. So I'll admit it I'm biased,but as a girl I reserve the right to be so. I was honestly happy when I found out Juan Pablo was going to be the bachelor,but I never expected him to wind up being such a douchenozzle.He was like soooo perfect on the bachelorette. I guess being surrounded by 27 beautiful woman and getting paid a quarter of a million to do so can really inflate an ego and bring out someones true personality. Anyways I will end up watching the bachelorette with Andi Dorfman even though I didn't really watch the bachelor. They usually get the bachelorette right, but they almost always get the bachelor wrong.

Oh, not so many boxes...

Hi all, If you check my blog regularly you know that I haven't posted a new review recently. Well that's because my mom has told me that I really need to cut back on all of my subscriptions. Hopefully I'll get a job and be able to start reviewing again next fall. Until then I will only be posting 5 box reviews a month,because that's how many fit in my budget. So do check back and there will be more post about anecdotes from my life. Kaiya
