"A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends - the Liars - whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret,
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth."
Review:
This was an unbelievable book; definitely in top five favorites now. This girl has wonderful memories of being on her grandfather's island and the mischievous fun she had with the Liars. Next thing you know she wakes up with Post Traumatic Amnesia and skull splitting migraines. she only remembers summer fifteen in fragments and nothing concrete. And everyone's lying. No one will tell her what happened. It's the best suspense novel I've ever read, and the ending had me in tears. I especially loved the vivid imagery. There's a part in the beginning where she talks about being shot by her dad and how her heart fell out of her chest and rolled into the bed of peonies in the front lawn. I completely thought she was being literal up until her Mom yelled at her to pull herself together. Which brings me to the adults of this book. They're fucking assholes (sorry for the foul mouth). I won;t spoil anything so I'll just leave it at that, but man I wanted to punch every single one of them in the face. Lastly, there's Gat. Gat was a bull in the Sinclair's china shop, And I loved every minute of him. I recommend this to the highest degree.
"Read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE"
