What did I just read?

The ending twist of this book will have you feel all the emotions! Loved the storyline, beautifully written!

Excellent book and lovely voice reading it!!

Loved the story, the twists and that it is a prime show I can watch!!

So good

Excellent narration and the story kept me hooked and guessing until the very end, highly recommend!!

Downer

It was hard to get into and sometimes it bounced around too much. If I was reading instead of listening, I would not have finished it.

Perfection

Cadence Sinclair Eastman, the oldest of the wealthy Sinclair grandchildren spends summers on Beechwood island with her cousins Johnny and Mirren and family friend (and crush) Gat--nicknamed the Liars. She has migraines and memory loss since an accident on the island two summers ago, but now she's back with her cousins, hoping to remember what really happened. But, the Sinclairs are not as perfect as they seem; everyone on Beechwood island is a liar, maybe even Cadence herself.

E Lockhart has written a nearly pitch perfect novel that will appeal to both teens and adults. Told from Cadence's first person POV this fast pace story grabbed me from the first sentence with short, pointed sentences. Every word had a purpose. Every sentence showed character, setting or plot. I felt like I was on the island observing Cadence and her cousins. I began feeling like I wanted this book to last forever when I hit 25% on my kindle, the more I read, the more I wanted to know what happened, yet to have the book continue after the mysteries were solved. Cadence is a multidimensional, flawed character. I couldn't help to feel her frustration not remembering and feeling like everyone was lying. I wanted to scream at the other, "just tell her". I never saw the twist at the end coming and was completely shocked. Every guess I had was completely off base, yet the ending made perfect sense.
I can't recommend WE WERE LIARS highly enough and expect it will be nominated for and win many awards this year. I'm about to reread it and see all the clues I missed.
