Together they are the Liars, as their family nicknames them. It tells the story of Cadence Sinclair, a girl who goes to private school, comes from a wealthy family and vacations on her grandparents’ private island every summer with her cousins and her aunt’s partner’s nephews: Johnny, Mirren and Gat. It’s perfect for people who just want to read a small yet captivating book.
The book is short, only 227 pages, yet packed with emotion and mystery.
So here I am recommending it to you, fellow readers. I inhaled it and couldn’t wait to tell others about this gem. I spent all night reading it and didn’t stop, not even to go to the toilet. When I returned home, I decided to start reading it immediately, what did I have to lose? Thank god I did. Slightly apprehensive, I found the book and bought it. I loved it, you really can’t see the end coming”. However, as I was ranting about the monotony of books these days, she mentioned this book, “We were liars by E.Lockhart. You can understand that when a friend and I were browsing around a bookstore, I didn’t think that I’d be buying anything. I predict the ending almost immediately and want to claw my eyes out from boredom. I find myself in bookstores desperately trying to find a book to distract myself from the depressing reality of school and IB, and reading the same summaries on every back cover.
The plots in the young adult genre are all the same someone has to save the world, on the way they fall in love and discover the person that they are meant to be, blah blah blah. Not just has schoolwork taken over my free time, but no new books have grabbed my attention. I admit that I have become quite bored with books today. Sometimes a book would have so much suspense I would find myself still awake at 5am or give up on sleep for the night – during holidays of course. Everywhere I went I had a new book that I was devouring in a few hours. I would read at any time and in any place: at the table during dinner (much to my parent’s frustration), at school, during the five minute break. I fell in love with books at age 10, I couldn’t get enough of them.
