“E. Lockhart is one of our most important novelists, and she has given us her best book yet. Thrilling, beautiful, and blisteringly smart, We Were Liars is utterly unforgettable.”
John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "The Fault in Our Stars"

“So, @elockhart’s new book We Were Liars showed up the other day, and I ended up not going to bed because was reading and oh my god.” — @maureenjohnson
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.
