![]() ![]() ![]() My mind was going to all kinds of dark places, but I was still way off base. And adding to the mystery angle, all the Liars and family members are instructed not to tell Cady what happened two years ago. ![]() She’s dyed her hair black, has memory loss and migraines, and gives away her belongings. After the mysterious incident in the 15th summer, Cady returns two years later a different person. Issues of class, race, gender roles, and privilege are on the table among the Liars, and their old-money families are at the mercy of Cady’s grandfather who holds the purse strings. But as the book wore on I got more curious about Cady, her cousins Johnny and Mirren, and her love interest Gat, the outsider, who only see each other in the summer and live separate lives during the school year. It took me some time to warm up to this group of privileged teens. The reader follows a scant trail of breadcrumbs to put it all together, but still, the final act will likely shock you. During the 15th summer everything falls apart, and our unreliable narrator Cadence (Cady) Sinclair Eastman suffers a head injury and selective amnesia. They summer with their families every year at an exclusive island off Cape Cod. We Were Liars is about a group of four family friends that call themselves the Liars. ![]()
