We Were Liars
E. Lockhart
The Book: 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.

The Meeting: Small group. : (
Hopefully, we'll be able to get a larger group next time. Mixed reviews. Some of us saw the ending coming; some did not. We discussed the reason why "they" were liars. We discussed the behavior of the moms, the dad, and how bad decisions can have a lifelong impact.
