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.
My thoughts:
Confession time: I almost gave up on this book in the early pages. The story of a bunch of rich kids on an island just wasn't appealing to me, to be honest.
But I kept reading, and then got sucked in when Cadence ends up in a mysterious accident (finally something happened!), and I wanted to know what actually happened.
A good read if you have the patience. I was a bit disappointed at the very end, but the twist was nicely done (though I kinda caught on early).
Recommended for your clever teen girl.
Fleur, I don't give up on a book easily. It usually redeems itself by the end.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for that, Prashant. I get impatient sometimes...
