We Were Liars

Book • 2014
The story follows Cadence Sinclair, the eldest granddaughter of the wealthy and influential Sinclair family.

Each summer, the family gathers on their private island, Beechwood Island.

However, during the summer Cadence is 15, she suffers a head injury that leaves her with migraines and gaps in her memory.

As she returns to the island two years later, she begins to piece together the events of that fateful summer, revealing a web of family conflicts, lies, and a tragic accident that resulted in the deaths of her friends, known as the Liars.

The book explores themes of family dynamics, trauma, and the complexity of human relationships through Cadence's fragmented and often unreliable narrative.
