GoodReads 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.
Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
My Thoughts: I read this book in an afternoon because I just HAD to know what happened. This is your quintessential unreliable narrator, and we're taken on her journey of trying to remember why she can't remember anything for the last two years. Yes, the writing is odd and took a bit to get into. But once I just embraced it, it didn't bother me anymore. This reminded me a lot of the movie Memento and The Sixth Sense in that once you know the truth revealed at the end, it changes the whole story you've just read or seen. It's a wonderful storytelling technique, and Ms. Lockhart pulled it off phenomenally.
