I liked it. Read it in one sitting, sadly I found the “big mystery” a but predictable, but it still baffled me when i realised. Also the ending felt a bit rushed.

I recommend this book if you like:
-YA mystery
-page turner
-plot twists

Wow, this book blew my mind! I had read mixed reviews, so I was apprehensive. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book and the best part was near the end when the plot becomes clear. I had made my own theories throughout the book but I did not see that ending coming.

Although this is a YA book, it has deep and meaningful themes (wealth, privilege, family feuds, crimes). There are a lot of characters at first but this wasn’t an issue for long. I loved the map of Sinclair Island at the start of the book.

The story about Cadence, her two cousins and Gat will be one I won’t forget in a hurry.

We Were Liars - e. Lockhart
STANDALONE (there is a prequel)

Synopsis:
We our main character Cadence, who is apart of the infamous Sinclair family, an extremely wealthy family. Even summer they go to this island that the family owns and Cadence and all her cousins come to this island to enjoy time together. Cadence suffers from a lot of mental and physical traumas in this book. We follow two separate time lines present day and her time on the island. One summer things ended horribly for all the cousin and as you're reading you are trying to find out why.

Review:
We Were Liars is a mystery in itself, it captivated me from the start with the writing style. And boy was this one hell of a ride, it was a mind boggling story. Even when I predicted the plot twist it still had me staring at my ceiling, because of how mind blowing it was. It was definitely a sad read that made me shed a few tears, but other than that I didn’t find this book was show stopping like everyone else did. It was an okay book, but I would recommend it to people who want a short-fast paced read with lots of plot twists!

If you love:

-Disfunctional Families
-Mystery
-Suspense
-Tragic Family Story

Genre: Mystery/Thriller
Rating: 2.5

Completely SHOOK 🤭 I was completely surprised by this book. I didn’t see the plot twist coming. Loved the eerie feeling this book gave off. 🥶
