Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Young Adult Book of the Month, May 2014: E. Lockhart’s novel, We Were Liars, is clever, alluring, and wildly addictive. Each summer the wealthy, seemingly perfect, members of the Sinclair family gather on their private island. We Were Liars is the story of those annual reunions; in particular what happened during a summer that protagonist Cadence is unable to remember. Prejudice, greed, and shifting patriarchal favoritism among the three adult sisters contrasts with the camaraderie and worldview of the teenage cousins and their dear friend Gat. Lazy days of sticky lemonades on the roof and marathon Scrabble games give way to twisty suspense, true love, and good intentions gone horribly wrong. We Were Liars is a story that begs to be read in one sitting. --Seira Wilson

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—Cadence Sinclair Easton comes from an old-money family, headed by a patriarch who owns a private island off of Cape Cod. Each summer, the extended family gathers at the various houses on the island, and Cadence, her cousins Johnny and Mirren, and friend Gat (the four "Liars"), have been inseparable since age eight. During their fifteenth summer however, Cadence suffers a mysterious accident. She spends the next two years—and the course of the book—in a haze of amnesia, debilitating migraines, and painkillers, trying to piece together just what happened. Lockhart writes in a somewhat sparse style filled with metaphor and jumps from past to present and back again—rather fitting for a main character struggling with a sudden and unexplainable life change. The story, while lightly touching on issues of class and race, more fully focuses on dysfunctional family drama, a heart-wrenching romance between Cadence and Gat, and, ultimately, the suspense of what happened during that fateful summer. The ending is a stunner that will haunt readers for a long time to come.—Jenny Berggren, formerly at New York Public Library

This review originally appeared on herestohappyendings.com.I've heard so many mixed reviews about We Were Liars over the years, but I hadn't read it, and I'm not sure why. It's weird, because it seems like most readers either love it or hate it - there aren't too many who seem to be in the middle. When I heard that the deluxe edition of the book was coming out, I figured I probably should get around to it already, because pretty much every other blogger and YA book fan I know has already read this one.So I read it. It was a pretty quick read, and I read it all in one night - I started it like at 11 at night and finished it around 2 am I guess. While the overall story wasn't bad, I wasn't blown away by anything and I kind of felt it was lackluster, and for the most part I was left with more questions than I had before I even started the book.In We Were Liars, we have four privileged and spoiled kids who spend their summers on a private island together. The four of them are pretty good friends, as well as cousins - all except for Gat. These kids have the whole island to swim, hang out, go to dinners - pretty much anything they want - all while spending the summers with their families and grandfather, who more or less owns the entire island.But the kids in the Sinclair family, as well as Gat, have secrets - and they aren't pretty secrets. They've done things that they aren't proud of. Things that have some serious repercussions. In fact, the adults on the island have taken to calling them "The Liars."During the stuff that's going on with the kids, the adults have their own things to worry about - including who gets the homes on the island, who gets what in terms of money - all of that jazz. Since their grandfather is getting older, he is trying to remodel and make sure that the homes go to the right children in the family.I don't mean to be vague when I talk about this book, but I really don't want to give away any hints or anything that could make the story less enjoyable for those who haven't yet read it (although I doubt that there are too many!). It does have it's moments where I think it's a great and creative story, and I do so love reading about spoiled rich kids (guilty pleasure when it comes to reading!), so for the most part, I did enjoy it.But there was so much here that I am going to be picky about - things that I didn't enjoy. For one, the characters weren't very fleshed out and I feel like they weren't very memorable - in fact, I honestly can't remember their names or who each was in the family. I can only remember Gat because he wasn't actually part of the family, but he was the son of the guy that one of the adults wanted to marry, but wouldn't because she was afraid her grandfather would disinherit her.Also, that twist of an ending was clever, but I honestly saw it coming, and can't say that it made much sense, especially if you go back into the book and think about things. It made everything even more confusing instead of answering any questions that I had. It did tie the original story together, though, but some of the details bothered me, and I won't even get into them because this is supposed to be a spoiler free review.I did love the whole idea behind the family spending time on the private island, though - it really makes this the perfect book for summer, as that's when it takes place - over the course of a summer and through memories of past summers. It made for the perfect read for a beach trip or vacation.As far as the deluxe edition material went, I loved the hand drawn map of the island, and the family tree was a great addition - I found myself looking at both of these while reading the book, and it helped me paint a better picture of what was going on where and which characters were related and how. These were awesome additions to the book. Also, the author material in the back was interesting as well, and it added a bit to the reading experience. I definitely have to recommend picking up the deluxe edition of the book for these things alone - they really do enrich the reading experience and they're pretty nifty.I wish I could have absolutely loved this book, but I just didn't - I did like it, just not enough to praise it as much as some others who have really enjoyed the book. It was definitely interesting, and I'll probably end up reading it again, but I just wasn't able to really connect with it as much as I would have liked to have been able to.Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review - Thank you!

The first 70% of this book was enticing, which is why I gave it 3 stars. The narrative made it easy to read. I didn't find the romance silly, overdone or corny because it is a young adult (YA) read and love feels so real with adolescent hormones. But then came the plot twist around 80% in and the rest of the book is mourning, mourning, mourning, guilt and more mourning. I rushed to the end, looking forward to the story being over. I grew up around the 1% so that part of the story development is realistic. But overall, I wouldn't recommend this book for adults, unlike some of the reviews. It is quite a let down.

"She confused wit with intelligence, and made people laugh rather than lightening their hearts or making them think."This book fit my mood *perfectly*. It was dramatic and a little twisted, but also reminded me of the beach.The story follows the wealthy Sinclair family who owns a private island near Martha's Vineyard where they spend summer every year. The self-named Liars are three cousins and one outsider, all around the same age, who become best friends and allies. There's romance, interesting social commentary, and CRAZY family dynamics.I loved the lyrical, almost poetic, style of writing. It's clear from the beginning that the narrator Cadence isn't to be trusted, and it was so entertaining reading her parsed memories and piecing the full story together.My only complaint is that I called The Big Twist early on. I wish there had been a greater air of mystery surrounding it, or that it could've been even more subtle.But overall, this was an engrossing and enjoyable read. I recommend for fans of contemporary YA who are looking for something a little bit different to try, or for those who thoroughly enjoyed Franny Billingsley's Chime.

The description of the book will tell you what it's all about, so I'll skip that and get to what I thought about it. The writing is good--poetic, but not pretentious. If the editor hasn't done his or her job, I tend to do it in my head while I'm reading, but I didn't need to here. Lockhart's prose is clear, consistent, and vivid. The narrator's voice is believable, fresh, and likable.This is the sort of book that could be spoiled VERY easily, so I won't say too much about it. I will say that I'll be turning 40 soon, but I enjoyed reading the book. I also teach middle and high school English classes and am always looking for books to recommend to students, and I would definitely recommend this one. Students should be able to relate to the issues of friendship, family conflict, and new love. The book also deals with issues of class and race. If I were to read this as a class, I could definitely see us getting into some really interesting discussions about the actions of the characters.With all that said, why did I only give it 4 stars? It felt like something was missing from the ending. The surprise is quite significant, but things seem to be glossed over. I'd like to have seen some more...well, I don't want to say or I'd give away the ending.Anyway, I plan on reading more of E. Lockhart's books. I think she's a talented writer who will be a go-to recommendation for my students from now on.

Unfortunately, I hated this book. I felt like it was so predictable, the plot was bland, and I found almost all of the characters unlikeable and undeveloped. On top of that, I hated the writing style. Lastly, it was a lot of buildup for a quick ending that was unsatisfying anyway.
