We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
No joke, I chose this book because the cover kept popping up in my dreams. Is that weird or what?
Cadence is from a wealthy family in the northeast. She is the oldest grandchild, and every summer, they travel to the family's own private island off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. There, her grandparents have their own house, her mother her own house, and her two aunts each have their own house. Every summer, she spends with her cousins, of which, she is closest to Johnny and Mirren, and Johnny's quasi cousin, Gat. They refer to themselves as the liars.
As the book begins, Cadence is nearing her eighteenth birthday, but is having trouble remembering the summer she turned sixteen. All she knows is that an accident happened, but she doesn't know exactly what happened to cause the accident or the immediate aftermath. All she knows is that as a result, she has these awful headaches and everyone babies her now.
Now that she is headed back to the scene of the accident, things have changed, but bit by bit, she remembers what happened that one awful summer.
This started off slow, but once it got going, was a very good read.
