CT: Peak, We Were Liars, and #monkmode

Søren Kierkegaard's 'Fear and Trembling' is a philosophical exploration of faith and the ethical dilemmas it presents. The work centers on the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac, examining the conflict between ethical demands and religious faith. Kierkegaard argues that true faith requires a leap of faith, a suspension of ethical considerations in favor of absolute commitment to God. The book's profound insights into the nature of faith and the individual's relationship with God have had a lasting impact on religious thought and existentialism. Kierkegaard's work challenges readers to confront the complexities of faith and to grapple with the ultimate questions of existence.

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.
