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 National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart.
Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
We Were Liars is a very enjoyable, quick read. Cadence was easy to connect with and the mystery surrounding her migraines/head injury kept me perplexed until the very end. The map of the island at the beginning of the book was helpful in visualizing the various homes and characters. One aspect of the book that will be challenging for adolescent readers is the sheer number of characters to remember and the switching between flashbacks and present day. There are some curse words as well. This book should be recommended to adolescent girls who like reading and realistic fiction. I'm definitely glad I read this title.
