We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

This is a haunting story without ghosts ... or is it?





Cadence Sinclair Easton comes from a extended family of old-money.  Each summer she and the “Liars” spend the summer on their family’s private island vaguely off of Cape Cod.  She and her cousins and their friend Gat are inseparable, until they turn fifteen.  Something mysterious happens to Cadence .  The reader is left to figure out exactly what.  She seems to suffer from amnesia, horrible headaches and the rest of her family treat her as if she was breakable. 

The story moves back and forth in time as the reader starts to see hints of what may have happened.  This story is so suspenseful it’s hard to put down as the pieces start to fall into place and the tragedy of what happened becomes clear.  Everyone I know who’s read this book loved it—even The Fault in Our Stars author John Green!
