oraclereadings 's review for:
We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart
I'm going to feel bad for giving this anything below 3 stars because it wasn't a bad book. Even the writing style was unique. In my opinion, it would have been better without the twist. But it was very hard to determine the past and present. I think I'm going to settle for a hard 2.5 rating.
These kids suffer through the recklessness of their family. Their mothers fight over who gets grandma's pearls, over who gets what house (because their family is filthy rich), and depending on the grandfather's trust fund. The mothers use their kids to get in favor of the grandfather, so that he'll reward whoever loves (sucks up to) him more.
Grandfather is no better, though. He'll tell either his children or grandchildren one thing, and then tell another member of the family another. He's mean and heartless and it becomes very clear when the grandma passes away.
Cady is the oldest of the grandchildren, so it is implied that she is to inherit everything once her grandfather passes. Though she's not sure that she wants it. She falls for Gat (I don't want to talk about Gat) and sees the world differently.
Moral of the story, rick people suck.
