We Were Liars

Written by E. Lockhart

A book for readers in grades 7 and up reviewed by Rida

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart is a suspenseful Young Adult novel. Johnny, Mirren, and Cadence are part of the rich Sinclair family. Their grandfather bought an island, where he made a house for each of his daughters. Johnny, Mirren, and Cadence, along with an outsider named Gat, are the liars mentioned in the book's title. They have a very close friendship, but a big tragedy happens out of nowhere.

I enjoyed the book's plot and thought it ended with a real twist, but I found myself bored during some parts. I wish its plot had a few more exciting events to grab the reader's attention a little more.
