We were Liars by E. Lockhart

I've had this book on my Kindle for awhile - must have been on someone's summer reading list to catch my attention.  I then saw this book on Goodreads as a contender for the 2014 Book of the Year so I thought I better read it!  I read this book in one day on a long car ride home from Colorado & New Mexico - kept my attention.

We Were Liars was an interesting book - I'm not sure I loved it  - it will make for an interesting discussion because of the unexpected ending.   I don't think I would recommend this book for my particular book club as I don't think they would like it.  I'd give it 3 1/2 stars.

Book Description from Amazon:

E. Lockhart’s novel, We Were Liars, is clever, alluring, and wildly addictive. Each summer the wealthy, seemingly perfect Sinclair family meets on their private island and We Were Liars is the story of what happened there; particularly one year the protagonist, Cadence, can’t seem to remember through her migraine haze. Prejudice, greed, and shifting patriarchal favoritism amongst the three adult sisters chafes against the camaraderie and worldview of the teenage cousins and their friend Gat, who also spends summers on the island with them. Sticky lemonades on the roof and marathon Scrabble games to twisty suspense, true love, and good intentions gone horribly wrong--We Were Liars begs to be read in one sitting.
