Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by The Purple Booker. If you want to join in grab your current read, flick to a random page, select two sentences (without spoilers) and share them in a blog post or in the comments of The Purple Booker.
This week my teaser comes from We Were Liars by E Lockhart. I read this last week and absolutely loved it so I had to share a teaser. It’s one of those books that’s best to go into blind so I won’t say much other than if you’re one of the few people who haven’t read it, go read it now.
My Teaser
Someone once wrote that a novel should deliver a series of small astonishments. I get the same thing spending an hour with you.
Also, here is a green toothbrush tied in a ribbon.
It expresses my feelings inadequately.
~ 15% We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Blurb
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.
We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from New York Times bestselling author, National Book Award finalist, and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart.
Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
This has been hovering on my wish list for an age – love the teaser!

I was the same. I’m going to see the author tomorrow night though so that gave me the push to finally read it.

It really is. I think that’s why it’s one of those love or hate books. You’re very welcome

I loved that quote when I read this book. I posted it to Twitter because it was so blissfully random.

Yeah it’s possibly not a random two sentences but I just loved it so much I had to use it for this week’s teaser
