The Wall Textband mit Annotationen

"We were liars" is about the wealthy Sinclair family: cousins ​​Cadence, Johnny, Mirren, and their friend Gat, who meet up with their families every summer on Beechwood Island to spend their holidays. At first, the book seemed like a feel-good summer read, but it took a completely different turn in the first few chapters. It was totally different from what I expected, and I was pleasantly surprised! The story is told from Cadence's perspective. At 15, she has an accident on the island and has suffered from migraines and memory loss ever since. While she has no memories of that summer at age 15, she returns to the island at 17 to get to the bottom of it. As time goes on, it becomes clear that the extended family's summers together aren't as idyllic as they seem. Dark secrets come to light, and Cadence tries to fill in the gaps in her memory. The story is told from Cadence's point of view. The story captivated me from the very beginning; you practically fly through the pages, and the ending left me absolutely speechless! I read the book in just 12 hours! I really like the author's writing style; the way she handles words and constantly surprises the reader is impressive. Even if you're a little lost at first with all the names, relationships, and locations on the island, you quickly find your way around thanks to the map and family tree in the book.
