"A gripping story with a brilliantly shocking ending."
It takes a brave author to check their reviews on Goodreads, but E. Lockhart has little to worry about having won the Goodreads Choice award in 2014. If you haven’t met the beautiful Sinclair family yet then I suggest now is the time, ahead of the hotly anticipated prequel, Family of Liars, due out in May. I’m a sucker for a mystery, and am a huge fan of YA fiction, and in We Were Liars we try and pluck the truth from a wash of glossy lies as teen Cadence pieces together the trauma of a summer accident that tore her life apart.

One of our Books of the Year 2014 A gripping story with a brilliantly shocking ending. Rich, beautiful, privileged – the Sinclair clan seem to have it all. For Cadence and her cousins that means long hot summers on their special holiday island. Days of swimming and picnics and parties. But around them swirl the problems of their parents and particularly, the complex issues of their inheritance. When Cadence hits her head in an accident she can’t remember anything about how it might have happened; a whole section of her life is missing. It is only when she goes back to the family island that the truth slowly and painfully becomes clear.
