Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Young Adult Book of the Month, May 2014: E. Lockhart’s novel, We Were Liars, is clever, alluring, and wildly addictive. Each summer the wealthy, seemingly perfect, members of the Sinclair family gather on their private island. We Were Liars is the story of those annual reunions; in particular what happened during a summer that protagonist Cadence is unable to remember. Prejudice, greed, and shifting patriarchal favoritism among the three adult sisters contrasts with the camaraderie and worldview of the teenage cousins and their dear friend Gat. Lazy days of sticky lemonades on the roof and marathon Scrabble games give way to twisty suspense, true love, and good intentions gone horribly wrong. We Were Liars is a story that begs to be read in one sitting. --Seira Wilson
From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up—Cadence Sinclair Easton comes from an old-money family, headed by a patriarch who owns a private island off of Cape Cod. Each summer, the extended family gathers at the various houses on the island, and Cadence, her cousins Johnny and Mirren, and friend Gat (the four "Liars"), have been inseparable since age eight. During their fifteenth summer however, Cadence suffers a mysterious accident. She spends the next two years—and the course of the book—in a haze of amnesia, debilitating migraines, and painkillers, trying to piece together just what happened. Lockhart writes in a somewhat sparse style filled with metaphor and jumps from past to present and back again—rather fitting for a main character struggling with a sudden and unexplainable life change. The story, while lightly touching on issues of class and race, more fully focuses on dysfunctional family drama, a heart-wrenching romance between Cadence and Gat, and, ultimately, the suspense of what happened during that fateful summer. The ending is a stunner that will haunt readers for a long time to come.—Jenny Berggren, formerly at New York Public Library
From Booklist
*Starred Review* Cadence Sinclair Eastman is the oldest grandchild of a preeminent family. The Sinclairs have the height, the blondness, and the money to distinguish them, as well as a private island off the coast of Massachusetts called Beechwood. Harris, the family patriarch, has three daughters: Bess, Carrie, and Penny, who is Cadence’s mother. And then there is the next generation, “the Liars”: Cadence; Johnny, the first grandson; Mirren, sweet and curious; and outsider Gat, an Indian boy and the nephew of Carrie’s boyfriend. Cadence, Johnny, Mirren, and Gat are a unit, especially during “summer 15,” the phrase they use to mark their fifteenth year on Beechwood—the summer that Cady and Gat fall in love. When Lockhart’s mysterious, haunting novel opens, readers learn that Cady, during this summer, has been involved in a mysterious accident, in which she sustained a blow to the head, and now suffers from debilitating migraines and memory loss. She doesn’t return to Beechwood until summer 17, when she recovers snippets of memory, and secrets and lies—as well as issues of guilt and blame, love and truth—all come into play. Throughout the narrative, Lockhart weaves in additional fairy tales, mostly about three beautiful daughters, a king, and misfortune. Surprising, thrilling, and beautifully executed in spare, precise, and lyrical prose, Lockhart spins a tragic family drama, the roots of which go back generations. And the ending? Shhhh. Not telling. (But it’s a doozy).HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Lockhart’s latest is unlike anything she’s done before. With a Printz Honor to back her, plus a major marketing campaign—and a promotional quote from John Green—this is poised to be big. Grades 7-12. --Ann Kelley

GREAT, not perfect...
By Hayley
While I found it quite difficult to sympathize with Cady and her ability to be so, entirely self absorbed, I did think the pacing of the story was very, very great. The reveal of the secret was a little confusing at first because the writing style of Lockhart made things not meant to be taken literally very hard to not be taken literally. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the mysterious plot and actions of all the characters. Gat was the only one I actually related to, but in the end, I was left feeling sad and angry with all of them and the way things ended. The values and themes discussed in the book are very worthwhile and deep (however cheesey that may sound), and it was nice to see a mention of racism and race in general in this book. Very emotional, gripping read--I totally recommend it.

It's just okay
By minikawa
The book is written from Cadence Sinclair’s point of view. It revolves around an elite, old rich family, the Sinclair’s, and the summers they spent in their private island, Beechwood, in Massachusetts. The Sinclair’s include Grandpa and Grandma, their 3 beautiful, blonde daughters and the grand kids. There are four houses in Beechwood, the main house is Clairmont which belongs to Grandpa and Grandma and 3 houses for their daughters – Windemere, Cuddletown and Red Gate. The eldest of the grandkids is Cady, followed by Johnny, then Mirren and the rest are what they call the “littles”, the younger batch of Sinclair’s. During the year when Cady, Johnny and Mirren were eight, Johnny’s friend, Gat (who is a nephew of Johnny’s mom’s partner), started to join them in the island. They call it Summer Eight and that’s when the family started calling the four of them the Liars. Eight months before Summer Fifteen, Granny Tipper died. Right before Summer Fifteen, Cady’s dad left her and her mom. During that summer, Cady realized that she is in love with Gat and Gat is in love with her but Gat has a girlfriend back home. After that summer, things fell apart. Cady got into an accident, she doesn’t remember what happened, she got sick, sufferred migraines, and had to take a break from school. Gat didn’t visit her. Johnny and Mirren won’t answer her calls and emails. On Summer Sixteen, they didn’t let her go back to Beechwood and instead she and her dad went to Europe. On Summer Seventeen, they let her go back to the Island. She saw her Liars once again. She found out that her granddad had completely replaced Clairmont with a New Clairmont. Everybody, even the littles, are still keeping their mouth shut about Summer Fifteen and she is determined to find out. The rest of the book deals with Cady trying to recall what happened until finally, the truth is revealed and it is just better to lie about it.
The book depicts a family who seemed so perfect on the outside and in order to maintain that picture perfect image, they need to hide their feelings (even among each other), ignore and forget the bad things by using money as cover and act normal – always, even when it hurts. I like the rawness of the Sinclairs. They are beautifully messed up and I believe they are real. How some people raised by money actually end up unsuccessful. How they will fight each other on the littlest of things because they don’t know how to live without it. How one incident can automatically bond them together and make them remember that family is still family.
The finest thing about this book, however, is the Gone Girl twist – I didn’t really see (or even guessed) that one coming. And it is only because of that that I think this book is okay. I am an impatient reader and I don’t see the purpose of all the other chapters leading to the big reveal. I think it was just put there to heighten the suspense. I really didn’t get a lot from this book. The writing is just okay. I can’t relate with Cady, she is just weird. Her relationship with Gat is equally weird. It seems to me that she was bound to fall in love with Gat because Gat is the only non-relative on the Island. I didn’t feel any romantic connections between them. Everything seems forced in order to make a story or a climax similar to Gone Girl. Granted, you will really be surprised but I think it is easy to twist the facts or to make your story go that way to lead it to that big climax. If it is an original idea, I would be in awe but since the author said that she was inspired by Gone Girl, then I guess it is just that – okay.
How it made me feel/Takeaways:
Bored. Spoiled. Surprised. Calm. At the end of the day, family is still family. There are more important things than money. If we are in it together, we should all be responsible and be held accountable even for one person’s mistakes.
Favorite lines:
Johnny, he is bounce, effort, and snark.
Mirren, she is sugar, curiosity, and rain.
Gat, he was contemplation and enthusiasm. Ambition and strong coffee.
Rating: 3/5 I can’t even use my hearts because I don’t ❤️ it.

WOW!
By Courtney Mal
We Were Liars is not the book you're expecting. Don't try to guess the ending, don't try to 'think ahead', just enjoy the beautiful story E. Lockhart weaves. It's weird and sweet and magical. Yes, it's a little whiny and pretentious, but that just serves to make everything else come together so heartbreakingly beautifully at the end. I feel like when people read books like this and there's rich, entitled characters that they get mad that it's whiny and entitled. That's who the characters are! That's what they're supposed to be!
I'm intentionally being vague in this review as I don't want to spoil it. This is one of those books that you'll read once and just think 'what did i just read?'. Then you go back and back and back, re-reading, trying to piece together everything from the beginning.
I love this book and would recommend it to almost anyone. Keep an open mind and a sharp eye, and just enjoy the ride. You will follow Cadence and her friends, the 'liars' as they struggle to accept their wealthy, screwed up family. It's beautiful, it's magical, it's heartbreaking, and most of all it's life. Just go with it, you won't regret it.
