E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars is a distorted story about a summer on a private island called Beechwood. Lockhart incorporates themes and morals throughout the book, but it's hidden in fairy tales and thoughts of the main character, Cadence. She writes about the significance of family, the consequences of power and greed, and what love can do to someone. There's an epic plot twist at the end, which will provoke the reader days after.
The book starts out with Cadence’s monologue, talking about who she is, but leaving out major details for the reader to find out later on. We later find out about the past summers on the island (how her dad left her mom and her, an accident, a relationship, and more). In Summer Sixteen, she travels to Europe
