Steph Reads: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

This story is about a king and his princesses.
It's about a serial killer and his victims.
It's about an under the sea creature who befriends a land animal.
It's a who-dunnit surrounding the death of a golden retriever.

Okay, so I lied. Or did I? This story instructs me to do one thing, and one thing only, which is to lie.
With out giving away too much of the story, this novel is a coming of age story about 4 teens who spend their Summers on an island owned by the wealthy Sinclair family.  After a mysterious accident, the protagonist Cadence must unravel the truth about the Liars.

Some people are really touched by this story and feel a strong connection to it.  I enjoyed it and liked the surprise of an ending,but I didn't grow attached to any of the characters. This isn't a book I would read again but I recommend to anyone looking for a quick and interesting read.  This story is certainly different from anything I've read before!
