We Were Liars

Product Information

We are Sinclairs. Beautiful. Privileged. Damaged. Liars. We live, least in the summertime, on a private island off the coast of Massachusetts. Perhaps that is all you need to know.” Para empezar, el punto de que los Sinclair sean una familia con una isla privada y hablando de herencias y cosas de ricos me ha hecho desconectar casi desde el principio. Puedo entender algunos de los conflictos, pero no son conflictos realistas para personas de 15-16 años como tienen los protagonistas. Son problemas de gente rica, y lo siento, pero es que me da cringe. Eso para empezar.

both books had such an impact on the teenage version of me. i know We Were Liars has exploded on tiktok in the past year and it’s become popular with a lot of people disliking it and not understanding the hype. but at the time, this book changed me. i don’t think anyone quite understands. it’s one of the books that reignited my love for reading again. it showed me the impact a book can have on a person and the way they view the world. Gat hits his fist into his palm. “Ginny is the housekeeper. Paulo is the gardener. You don’t know their names and they’ve worked here summer after summer. That’s part of my point.” This book will draw you in, envelop you, surprise you and still leave you wanting more....If you've read it, you know you need to talk about it. So get a copy for a friend and start the discussion. If your friend has read it, they'll need to talk about it. So be a good friend, read it and talk about it......

Johnny Sinclair Dennis: Carrie’s oldest child, born three weeks after Cadence, second oldest Sinclair grandchild Silverman, Karyn (September 10, 2014). "We Were Liars". School Library Journal . Retrieved June 8, 2015. Perception often is not reality -- and it certainly is not in WE WERE LIARS. This is a look at what “a perfect world” looks like on the inside and how it unravels once one of the players sees it for what it is. Pitch perfect in both plotting and character development." We Were Liars Characters: These are some of the prominent characters that play a vital role in the plot.

Did we miss something on diversity?

this prequel was just a wonderful trip down memory lane for me. i think some people are gonna adore it (like me, seriously cried way too much lol), while others are just gonna roll their eyes and think it’s kinda basic. i think most people will be able to discern from their feelings of We Were Liars if this will be for them. The side characters. I think sometimes side characters can feel inconsequential and here they felt really important.

With only four weeks on the island, Cadence is determined to discover what happened to her two summers earlier, but her family is reluctant to talk to her about it. Even the little cousins have been forbidden to discuss what happened. Cadence spends the days with the Liars, but they do not give her any information either.When their uncle Dean, her favorite cousin and her best friend Yardley show up with surprise guests with them including Yardley’s boyfriend George and his friends from school Major and Pfeff, things eventually change and their summer vacation gets heated! But seriously, GO READ THIS. Stop what you're doing and go get it RIGHT NOW. It will blow you away. Yo pensaba que We Were Liars iba a ser mi tipo de libro. Parecía extraño, con una forma de narrar elocuente y un misterio que rodeaba a la protagonista. Sin embargo, no. No ha sido mi tipo de libro. Anyway, I found a copy of this book in the cruise ship library and decided to eat my words. The heroine of this book is the mother of one of the kids in WE WERE LIARS, only it's historical fiction because it takes place in the '80s (doesn't that make you shudder even more than the crime stuff did??). Caroline is the oldest, plainest Taft-Sinclair child. She has two younger sisters, Bess and Penny, who are way more attractive and liked. The We Were Liars /Family of Liars series technically falls in the YA genre, but the writing is so sophisticated that it will appeal to adults as well. I rarely read YA, but this series is one exception I will make! It is a very character driven domestic suspense novel focusing on real issues such as coping with death, substance abuse, secrets, and lies.
