*We Were Liars* is a modern classic that combines suspense with emotional depth. Lyrical and concise, this is a beautifully crafted tale that intertwines mystery, family dynamics, and the haunting nature of secrets.
Set against the backdrop of a private island owned by the affluent Sinclair family, the story follows Cadence Sinclair, a teenager grappling with the aftermath of a tragic accident that has left her with fragmented memories and emotional scars. 

The narrative unfolds through Cadence's perspective, drawing us into her confusion and the complicated relationships with her family—especially with her beloved cousins, Mirren and Johnny, and their enigmatic friend, Gat. The interspersing flashbacks reveal the joyous summer days the four friends shared, starkly contrasting with the underlying secrets. 

Lockhart’s skillful use of unreliable narration keeps readers guessing, and the climactic twist is both shocking and poignant, prompting a reevaluation of everything that has transpired. 

Themes of privilege, loss, and the struggle for identity resonate throughout the book. As Cadence navigates her family's dysfunction, readers are left to ponder the impact of generational wealth and the burdens of expectation. The haunting conclusion lingers long after the last page, compelling the readers to consider how far we will go to protect those we love and the lengths we might go to hide the truth from ourselves.

R/W rating - 7/10
