In May of 2014, I read the book We Were Liars by E Lockhart, and it blew me away. CRAZY good book! I raved about it in my review at that time, and well…

A lot has happened in my life personally since 2014, as well as a WHOLE LOTTA BOOKS… so, as I suspect most readers do as well…
I forgot about it.

Over the recent holiday weeks, I had a little extra time and noticed that We Were Liars was a mini-series on Prime Video. I thought I had read the book, didn’t check here to verify, and actually, I am so glad I didn’t. 🙂 I remembered very little other than that our teenage protagonist, Cadence, had returned to the Island near Martha Stewart’s Vineyard for the summer as she had done every summer since she was young, but this time was different, as something had happened the previous year. There was an accident, and Cadence could not remember the details other than that she was found in the water and sent to the hospital.
Now, back to where it all happened, spending time with her cousins and friends who were there every summer as well, and holding some secrets to what went down… Cadence is slowly piecing it together.

Crazy what you can forget. I was blown away as this came together, and two MEGA recommendations for you.

1) If you have not read this book – We Were Liars, get it. Read it. Do it now. I’ll wait.
2) If you have read this book, ABSOLUTELY watch the Prime Video series under the same title.

SO SO GOOD. And I can’t stop thinking about it.

I didn’t know until recently that there was a second book, written as a prequel – Family Of Liars, which I just started listening to on audio yesterday.

Stay tuned… 😉
