We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Another book finished last week and another one I loved! We Were Liars is a great mystery that’ll make you question everything.
Cadence Sinclair is young, beautiful and privileged. She spends her summers on the family’s private island with her cousins, aunts and grandad, wrapped up in her own little world. We know that Cadence suffers from excruciating migraines, but we don’t know why. We know there are blanks in her memory, but we don’t know why. We know something has happened, but we don’t know what.
Cadence begs her cousins and friends, Johnny, Gat and Mirren to fill in the blanks, but they‘be been sworn to secrecy.
The great thing about this book is that you know very little until the final chapter, hence why the synopsis doesn’t give much away. It’s fun, intriguing and so easy to digest; it’s exactly what I needed to take my mind off all the pandemic chat.
Intertwined with stories of teenage romance and reckless friendships, We Were Liars is a refreshing take on a YA novel. Lockhart’s writing is fast-paced and clean without the wordy descriptions.
Most of the clues are there, and I suspected part of the final twist, but this only adds to it being a fantastic read with a captivating plot.
