Cadence and her group of Liars (cousins, mostly) go to her Grandfather's private island every summer. But one year, she has an accident which leaves her with a head injury and significant memory loss of the entire summer. Now she's trying to piece together what happened to her, one memory at a time.
This book was a great quick read, but I have mixed feelings about it. It's been on my 'to read' pile for ages, and I finally picked it up to read before Christmas. I read it in two days.
To be honest, the story was quite slow. The first half or so was just giving information, and this was a long, roundabout process. The second half was better - it was a lot more interesting and the plot moved forward much quicker.
The redeeming quality of this book was the big twist, which I truly did not see coming. It added a whole new layer to the story, and was exciting enough to save the story for me, even if it was a bit peculiar. Despite the slow start, this is one of those wonderful books that you can pick up, read and enjoy, and put down again once it's done.
