We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Book Review by Charlotte B
On a private island off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, the Sinclair family deems to have the most perfect of lives. From private tennis lessons, to servants at their fingertips, the Sinclairs are very privileged and they know it. Their annual summer vacation, on a private island off of Martha’s Vineyard, unites the main character, Cadence with her cousins and their friend, Gat.
In this mysteriously engaging young adult novel, the events of the Sinclairs on their private island, Beechwood, create a gripping and easy to follow plot. An unexpected accident that leads Cadence to have amnesia, leads her family and friends to become confused and torn. She returns the next summer which ends up revealing secrets and greed that has been previously hidden. Lockhart brilliantly describes a beautifully tragic and devastating series of events that occur on Beechwood.
Perfect imagery by Lockhart create an elegant and dark atmosphere on the island. These elements create a nice scene when reading the book. This novel distracts the reader from their real life problems and provides dilemmas of its own. It really makes you feel like you’re on Beechwood. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart is one of my favorite books and I definitely recommend it everyone. It is a must read!
