We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

5.0

---

The blurb for this ya psychological suspense novel basically tells you nothing about this story but it won a Goodreads Choice Award in 2014 so I was very interested! So this story is narrated in first person by Cadence Sinclair and she recounts the summers her very wealthy family spent on a private island off of Massachusetts. The mystery begins right away because Cadence suffers from migraines and partial amnesia from an accident one summer but we the reader are trying to figure out along with her what happened that summer and why her family is lying to her. This was such a good read with a captivating writing style, commentary on privilege, scenes of young love, a propelling mystery, and a shocking ending!

P.S. I also had the audio for this one and confirm it’s a perfect narration!
