We Were Liars

 2/9/23

Well, I started another book. This is one of the books I wanted to read during my 48 hour reading challenge but never got to. I didn't do too well on that challenge but I still had fun. Also as I started this book, I found out I could have checked off two prompts with this one book. It's a book I've been dying to read and it is under 300 pages. Oh well. Anyway the book is surrounding Cady Sinclair. I will be calling her by her nickname because I'm writing this post late at night meaning I have no energy to try to spell her real name. But that is besides the point. Cady talks about her family owning an island and how everyone has a place on the island. Also she explains how thing are different on the island during the summer and then no one hears from each other once it's over. It's kind of like this island is their own secret world. But Cady also says that she had an accident while staying at this island, but she can't remember much of what had happened. So she is hoping visiting the island will help her remember what had happened. I'm enjoying the book so far. The whole mystery of Cady's accident keeps me reading because I want to know as much as she does about what happened to her. I'm a third of the way through the book now and I know it is going to be pretty much then end when we find out what actually happened during Cady's accident. Wish me luck on how fast it is going to get me to find the answer.

Well, I almost finished the book. It was an interesting read and the majority of the book is just family members lying to Cady about what happened or just avoiding the subject. It was like they were told not to say anything as long as Cady didn't remember. I can't tell you what happened in the third part of this book. That would spoil the whole mystery. But I can tell you that most questions if not all get answered. I did enjoy this book and it did keep me reading, but I did have to pull out an audiobook to finish the book. About halfway it felt like the book was just repeating itself. It got a little boring for me, so I had to find an audiobook to follow along with. The book gets about three and a half stars from me but since I have to do full stars, I'll have to round down and give it three. The book was almost a four star book but the slow pace in the middle kind of hurt it in the end. But by being my first E. Lockhart book, I didn't hate it. I found it interesting and I do plan on reading more book by this author in the future. I just don't know when with a "To Be Read" list longer than 10,000 books. I have a long ways to go. Wish me luck.
