once upon a time, there was a king who had three beautiful daughters. he loved each of them dearly. one day, when the young ladies were of age to be married, a terrible, three-headed dragon laid siege to the kingdom, burning villages with fiery breath. it spoiled crops and burned churches. it killed babies, old people, and everyone in between.

the king promised a princess's hand in marriage to whoever slayed the dragon. heroes and warriors came in suits of armor, riding brave horses and bearing swords and arrows.

one by one, these men were slaughtered and eaten.

finally the king reasoned that a maiden might melt the dragon's heart and succeed where warriors had failed. he sent his eldest daughter to beg the dragon for mercy, but the dragon listened to not a word of her pleas. it swallowed her whole.

then the king sent his second daughter to beg the dragon for mercy, but the dragon did the same. swallowed her before she could get a word out.

the king then sent his youngest daughter to beg the dragon for mercy, and she was so lovely and dever that he was sure she would succeed where the others had perished.

no indeed. the dragon simply ate her.

the king was left aching with regret. he was now alone in the world.

now, let me ask you this. who killed the girls?

the dragon? or their father?

the most intriguing part of family is liars is the fact that carrie narrates the entire thing. she was such an afterthought in we were liars, barely even there, but now her rare interactions with cadence all make sense;

• carrie admitting to seeing johnny at cuddledown, after seeing rosemary for all those years at clairmont in ‘87 and beyond.

• carrie being the most emotive out of the triple. penny and bess keep it in because they’re sinclairs, through and through, but carrie isn’t. she never was.

• carrie is the only other ‘sinclair’ that cadence is truly like. the similarities between the aunt and niece is astounding; down to the painkiller addiction and pain felt throughout their teenage years. they’re honestly the same.

i loved reading from carrie’s perspective. it was insightful and heartfelt and gut wrenching. the story itself of beechwood from the late 80’s was harrowing and thought provoking. learning about rosemary makes it all the more tragic, and for the sisters to then lose johnny, mirren and gat when they got older must have brought all of it back— rosemary drowning, summer 1987, penny’s sexual assault, carrie murdering pfeff. it all adds up finally. i feel like i know it all now, after years of fawning over the pages of we were liars and wanting more.

e lockhart you’re crazy. you’re crazy and i love you

FAMILY OF LIARS.

“Telling this story will be painful. In fact, I do not know if I can tell it truthfully, though I'll try. I have been a liar all my life, you see. It's not uncommon in our family.”

Spoilers for We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, which I know is a nine-year-old book, but just in case.

I have consumed this book at least ten times, probably more since I read it or listen to the audiobook every summer and also read it like three or four times the year it came out, and every time, when Cady finds out about the dogs, there's this part of me that's like, "How about you just don't set the fire." but, you know, it's a book and therefore doesn't change and they do set the fire and obviously it's not just the dogs and I am again heartbroken and sad.

Review: We Were Liars by E Lockhart Rating: 5/5 (reread)

"The story is supposed to have a happy ending."

It takes a lot of effort and skill to write a mystery novel that is just as compelling in re-reads as it is when you first discover it. When I read this book in 2014, I raced through it because I had to know what was going on and I remember being on the train when I got to the twist and struggling to keep my composure. This time, I just felt a dreadful melancholy settle over me whenever I picked it up because knowing the twist doesn't ruin this book - it transforms it.

Knowing the twist, this book is such a tragedy and it's so painful to watch Cadence puzzling through the events of summer fifteen. But that makes for a very satisfying story, in a completely different way to what my initial read-through was. I wish I could find more books like this, that aren't afraid to make you sad, and that let you stew in that sadness alongside the characters. It is very cathartic.

An exquisite novel that addresses class privilege in interesting ways and has withstood the passing of time. A classic of YA literature that deserves to be read for many years to come.
