Author: E. Lockhart
Genre: YA, Contemporary, "Mystery"
My Rating: 4 out of 5
What's it about? Cadence and her family have summer homes on a small island. Every summer, the Liars (Cadence, her cousins, and Gat) meet up on the island. But then, during the summer of her 15th year, there's an accident...
What type of reader is it for? Someone who is looking for a beautiful read... The writing in this story is phenomenal for a YA novel. The metaphors and personification woven into the every day thoughts of Cadence are powerful and intriguing. Or someone who likes an unreliable narrator. These are not usually my favorite types of books, but I enjoyed getting to know Cadence and figuring out what lie was hidden beneath her words. GoodReads lists this book as a mystery, but I wouldn't say it really fits into that category well. If you're looking for an extremely mysterious story, that's not what you'll find here.
Should you read it? Yes, but here's the time when it should be done: when you've just finished an amazing series and don't really want to dive into another long series right away. This is the perfect quick, short read in between two daunting series. Also a great book for a cram-a-thon!
