Synopsis:
A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.

We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart.

Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.

No. But I found a copy :) I'll join this but can I start reading this now?

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, of course! Just try not to make it too hard for Sapir & I to catch up...

[Sapir]

Yay!! I'm excited. Can we start today? :)

[Sapir]

Don't worry..I'm such a slow reader so it won't be hard for you to catch up with me ;)

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, I guess I'll start today too lol!!

[Marga]

Starting now :)

Chapter 2 - (view spoiler)[Lol. I was shocked at her father shooting Cadence but that was just a hallucination. (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[So I'm guessing that Cadence is the one desperately in love? (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 6 - (view spoiler)[ OMG. Haha way to burst a bubble (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 7-15 - (view spoiler)[ I knew it! What is Cadence's sickness though? O____o (hide spoiler)]

[Sapir]

I will start in two hours. And wow you're quick Margarita ;))

[Marga]

Chapter 33 - (view spoiler)[ I'm confused between what didn't happened and what actually happened? What's wrong with Cadence??? (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

The end - I knew it! I definitely saw that coming. (view spoiler)[ The Liars died in that freaking fire except Cadence. Hmm. Overall, it's okay. Just got bored on some parts. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

WOW Margarita! You're SO fast! I've only read like 13 chapters!!!

[Marga]

Haha lol. I'm kind of a fast reader :)

[Sapir]

OMGOMGOMG I just got the BEST news...!! I got the BEST POSSIBLE GRADE in my high school math final. Oh my god.

(haha I know it's not related to this discussion but I had to share it. Sorry!! ><)

[[deleted user]]

WOW!!! Congrats Sapir! That's AMAZING!

[[deleted user]]

50%
This book is really hard to get into....

(view spoiler)[ I don't actually like any of the characters, and I have absolutely no idea about what the hell actually happened to Cadence and I don't really like the insta-love between her and Gat (hide spoiler)]

[Sapir]

I'm in chapter 16..
And it's okay so far. I'm not sure where this story is going yet...
The writing is a bit quirky and over-dramatic. But it fits the plot, which is pretty much the same...

And thanks!!!! OMG I'm still really happy.

[[deleted user]]

I just finished it...I'll post a review very soon...not exactly impressed with it btw I thought it would've been better...

[Sapir]

I'm sorry you didn't like it!!
Looking forward to your review. :)

[Sapir]

OMG i just love it so far!! I'm dead curious to know what happens to Cadence.. I have a few guesses though :x

Everything at the beginning was so sweet so I thought its going to be just a light summer read.. but I guess I was very wrong because suddenly it became very dark and disturbing.
I can't wait to continue :)

[Marga]

Aww. Congrats Sapir! (haha so late) have you finished this yet?

[Sapir]

No.. I'll try to finish today but I'm SUPER busy at the moment.. :P

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 11 (view spoiler)[
"Every time Gat said these things, so casual and truthful, so oblivious - my veins opened. My wrists split. I bled down my palms. I went light-headed. I'd stagger from the table or collapse in quiet shameful agony, hoping no one in the family would notice."

Does she remind anyone else of Juliette from 'Shatter Me'? (hide spoiler)]
