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.
Kind of the worst book summary ever. Now I'm not one for contemporary books but this one got such great reviews that I had to bite the bullet and read it.
...and holy crap I'm glad I did.
I finished this book in two days (it would have taken less time but I just started back up at my summer job so my schedule's been a little hectic) but more to the point, I couldn't put it down. The characters were interesting and even though I had almost no plot summary to go off of I didn't care. After about 3o pages into the book I was hooked.
The only thing that struck me was the weird use of metaphors. As a reader I was taking everything literally and I usually had to backtrack and figure out what was actually going on.
Other than that I have no critiques. I loved this book and I won't say another word about it because the less you know the better.
5 stars!!!
*side note: if you have any insight as to why they are called the Liars, please let me know. I cannot figure it out for the life of me
