Review: We Were Liars

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

17-year old Cady has been suffering from debilitating migraines for the last 2 years, every since she sufferred a traumatic event that may have included a possible head injury. She knows something terrible happened, but she can't remember. She knows the rest of her family knows what happened, but won't tell her after doctors advised it was best she remember it on her own. Perhaps a summer back at the family island where it happened, where she can be with her beloved cousins and friend again, is just what she needs. But will she be able to handle the truth when she remembers?

Tear-jerker warning!! Be prepared to ugly cry when reading this book. It is so beautifully written, with such heart-warming relationships full of love and loyalty among the four "Liars", yet so tragic and heartbreaking. But not really depressing. A good choice for someone who needs a good, cathartic cry. Not a good choice to read in public or around other people in general.
