We Were Liars

by E. Lockhart
PRMS hardcover 225 pages
genre: YA mystery

The start of the book sets the scene and characters. The majority of the book is Cadence's struggle to remember what happened leading up to her accident. The end finally answers the questions! I think kids will really like this. For some reason, I did not.

The Sinclairs are a wealthy, snobbish family. Cadence, her cousin Mirren, their cousin Johnny, and their friend Gat are the four "liars." They do not necessarily agree with their grandfather or their parents (most of the dads are AWOL). They are typical teens, but their lives take a dramatic turn one summer day.
