We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have so many mixed feelings about this book. Where do I even start?
“We Were Liars” has always been a really hyped book.
Which is why it took me so many years before I finally picked it up.
Whenever I asked fans of the book to explain to me what it was about, they never could. So I had this theory in my head that it was just a bad book with lots of fans.
No, it is not.
This is a YA mystery set in Summer with a bunch of privileged teens. Every Summer, a wealthy family gathers on their private island to spend time with each other.
Until one Summer where there’s an accident that changes everything.
What happened in the accident? Why won’t anyone talk about it? Why are they pretending like nothing has changed when everything has changed?
These are questions that can only be answered by reading this book.
This was a really well-written book that I couldn’t put down. This book tore my heart to pieces but I eagerly picked up “Family of Liars”. I loved spending time on the island with this family and couldn’t wait to go back.
