About the book
We Were Liars follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman, the eldest grandchild of a wealthy, seemingly flawless family who gather each summer on a private island owned by her grandfather, Harris Sinclair. There she belongs to a close foursome of teenagers known as the Liars, with her cousins Johnny and Mirren and their friend Gat. During her fifteenth summer, Cadence suffers a head injury and loses most of her memory of what happened. Two years later she returns to the island, where the other Liars try to help her recall the incident. The novel explores the consequences of mistakes.
