We Were Liars by E Lockhart

A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.


So that's the blurb. It doesn't tell you much about the story line but maybe it's better not to reveal too much.


I liked this book even though I didn’t like it.  It is a great suspense but also tragic.  The characters, including the adults, seemed liked annoying spoilt rich kids at times, but what happens as the family disintegrates is also sad. It’s one of those books that I would say to you ‘read it as I’d really like to know your opinion of it’. Like me, perhaps you’ll be left thinking “what an odd, twisted family story”  but also “what a gripping tale of woe.”
