Read: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

The book starts with a letter from the publisher, Dela Corte Press.

Dear Colleagues,

“It’s not often that I write a letter asking a reader to do this, but please trust me. I won’t tell you the plot of this book. It is better for you to just read it. Between the covers you will find:”
“the beautiful Sinclair family on a windswept private island,
four friends who are unconditionally loyal to one another,
a lot of witty banter,
and desperate true love.
Also …
family secrets,
hallucinations,
a terrifying accident,
and many golden retrievers”
“We Were Liars is a dazzler. It’s suspenseful, literary, and romantic. It’s a modern, mazelike suspense story from National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart. You don’t need to know more. More would spoil it.
Read it.
I believe you’ll want to talk about this book with someone else who has read it. So read this ARC and give the duplicate to a friend, and let the conversation begin! Whatever you do, don’t spoil it for the people who haven’t read it yet.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
All my best,

Beverly Horowitz

Excerpt From: E. Lockhart. “We Were Liars.” iBooks.

So with an air of mystery, I present to you, We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. No spoilers, just pure thought.

Welcome to Beechwood, where everything is perfect or at least to an unsuspecting outsider.

Everything is never as it seems.

That's the whole point of this book. It will surprise you, make you wonder, crave what the next parts are all about and when you do know, it will astound you.

What makes a person tick? What tears a person down to a shell of their former self? What makes us feel alive? Is it the money, power, fame or love?

Why does money and power, bring us apart? and why is it in death, we unite?

It's so hard to write about a book without giving away details. We Were Liars made my heart ache. It compelled me to think about what we think really matters and what does not. It made me reaffirm that everyone, even the rich and glamorous, are humans. We all have feelings, we all have secrets, we all have things we want to forget. And for Cadence Sinclair Eastman, she did.
