Review of We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

 I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.

We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from New York Times bestselling author, National Book Award finalist, and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart.

Read it.

And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.

My Review:

5 Stars

This was a very interesting story. It's one of the few books that I have had a hard time figuring out and was genuinely intrigued throughout the entire book. 

Secrets are never a good thing. They carry a heavy price and do nothing but cause trouble. Especially since it takes lies to keep the secrets in place. Lies that will ultimately effect everyone close the the involved party.

Sometimes though it's thought that keeping the secret is better than telling the truth. In that instance a way of life is preserved and someone of lesser meaning takes the fall or simply there is no answer at all. Leaving things needing a closure that won't come unless the truth is revealed.
