The Bookworm says... Yes. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart was a very interesting book. The Sinclairs are a perfect family. No one is a thief, no on is a liar. No one is a failure. Cadence is the eldest Sinclair grandchild, therefore heir to the private Beechwood Island. All of the cousins go to Beechwood every summer. The Liars have been a group since summer five when Gat started coming to the island. Gat and his father Ed are the only non white residents of the island. The Liars are all best friends planning revenge and crazy pranks. Cadence is in love with Gat. Was in love. Is in love. Whichever. One summer, everything goes wrong. A rebellion with a bad ending. Cadence is found on the beach unconscious after "The Accident". She lost her memory. This is the tale of Cadence, trying to remeber what happened that summer, Summer Fifteen, the fate of her loved ones, and if the motto still stands. Are the Sinclairs perfect? Or have they just created a perfect facade?
