And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
This is such a hard book to describe or to talk about. Suspenseful, touching, frustrating and secretive it moves in circles around the main event. You start at the outer edges of the truth and work your way in, making discoveries and putting pieces together as you go. What you think you know might not be true, but it might be. It all revolves around summer fifteen, the summer two years ago when the four friends, cousins and liars were fifteen and Cady, the main character, has an accident that left her with brain trauma and no memory of the accident. Summer sixteen she does not return to the family island as she goes on vacation with her father, but summer seventeen she insists that she wants to come back. Everything is different and she keeps remembering pieces of the puzzle, but it takes her time to get it all back together.
