We Were Liars

By E. Lockhart
Lexile = 600

This is one of those books that are "sure-fire" when students ask for recommendations. One thing: it starts a bit slow. Here's the back story: The Sinclairs are a wealthy family. Grandpa owns an island and has built a home for each of his three daughters.

They spend each summer on the island. The story centers on the cousins and what happens each summer. Two words: Unreliable Narrator! That's the crux of the mystery. When this book ended, I had to go back and see what I had missed to not catch the big reveal. So unexpected. And so good!

Watch a quick clip of the author HERE.
