Granted, I’m not typically on the lookout for YA books like this, but that target audience doesn’t deter me if something catches my interest either. Though this book was quite popular at the time of its publication, I didn’t actually learn about it until fairly recently. Relishing the chance to reconnect with her cousins and her beloved Gat, despite the pain of him disappearing on her, she is determined to find out what happened to her that fateful summer. Gat was nowhere to be seen as she recovered in hospital, none of her family wants to talk to her about what happened, and it’s been two years since she last visited the island. She had an accident, though she doesn’t remember the cause, and now she suffers from crippling migraines. However, that’s all Cady remembers of that summer. Together, the four of them are known as the “Liars.” The summer of her fifteen year, Cady had a whirlwind romance with Gat, experiencing a sense of love that dulled the pain of her parents’ divorce. She would spend much of these summers with her cousins Johnny and Mirren and Johnny’s best friend Gat, who is invited to come along every year. She spends every idyllic summer on Beechwood Island, privately owned by her family and situated near Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, upon which her grandfather built homes for himself, all of his daughters, and their families to stay in. The story follows Cadence Eastman, a teenage girl who is part of a large, wealthy, and influential family, the Sinclairs. We Were Liars is a 2014 young adult mystery thriller novel by E.
