We Were Liars
by
by
E. Lockhart (Goodreads Author)
A rather remarkable, engrossing story, almost a five star, it deserves a four and a half but the system is flawed, without nuance.
We Were Liars is a story of privilege and despair, from the mind of a fifteen year old girl named Cadence. Only the privileged can call their daughter Cadence, but her first name is the least of her problems. Her surname is Sinclair which is a much bigger issue.
The author remembers what it's like to be a teenager while too many adults don't, which is understandable. Being fifteen is not fun, you possess the body and urges of an adult yet you still have the self-restraint and understanding of a child. You get things wrong.
No spoilers, read the book.
