It's been a peaceful and relaxing winter break. In other words, I have read too many books once again. The highlight of my reading pleasure however was We Were Liars, by E. Lockhart. I choose it as the highlight of my reads because the last time I read this book was July, 2014 while off on a weeks vacation and laying on a warm beach, listening to the lapping of waves and the laughter of little ones. This time around reading had an entirely different effect since I was reading to see what I missed the first time. In other words, what clues and leads were buried in the pages I had read in July. The ending of this book the first time around completely blind-sided me, enticing to be read again.
When the girls in the Union book club heard about the title, they chose it as our next read. I cannot wait to hear what they think, what are their questions and thoughts about the end of this book. Did they too want to read it again or did anyone have it figured out before the last part of the book - The Truth.
Some of the questions for Book Club:
1. Did you guess the end of this book at any time prior to the final part?
2. What are your thoughts that Cadence (Cady) retold the events of Summer 15 during an unstable state of mind?
3. The entire book is built around the crime committed during Summer 14 but told at the end of this book. Why do you think they did what they did?
4. Did the crime have any positive outcome?
5. The four main characters; Gat, Mirren, Johnny, and Cady. Did you have any favorites and why?
