"Johnny, he is bounce, effort, and snark."
"Mirren, she is sugar, curiosity, and rain."
"Gat, he was contemplation and enthusiasm. Ambition and strong coffee."
"We are Sinclairs. Beautiful. Privileged. Damaged. Liar. We live, least in the summertime, on a private island off the coast of Massachusetts."
📙 : We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book is about liars, all the characters were. And that is the story. This story screams richpeopleproblems, whiteprivilege & superior families. While i don't really go towards this kind of theme, this book is actually worth of a read. In my mind, this book almost plays out like a movie. Lockhart gave me that subtle haze of narration throughout reading. Its almost a little to no plot but throughout still interesting, gripping and suspenseful.
.
At first i loved the grandfather, all wise and proud of his family but soon later on in the story he just deteriorates and becomes drunk in power. I loved the tales of the king and his daughters. I love The Liars friendship.

⚠️spoiler⚠️
When i reached the climax, when i finally understood what happened and all those feelings came rushing in, i couldn't even begin to think about the tragedy. This book did not make me sob full of tears but I did cry the part where her mother's and families love for her despite what happened.It left me heartbroken. I want to say so much but don't want to spoil it.
.
The only takeaway was that i feel like the author didnt connect the title of the book too much with the story. I mean did they really lie? It was just that Cadence didn't knew and they wouldn't tell them. Despite that, the writing was very choppy but i didnt mind that like some reviewers. Overall worth a read. Pls read if ur into sappy emotional sorrowful books.
