Awesome novel with a twist! Other than the language and the underage drinking that was the root cause of the whole story, it is actually a really good book. I found the themes of the book like, peer pressure, family morals, and self-acceptance, to be just a dash unrealistic. Since the story follows a young girl who spends every summer on the families private island with close cousins and a friend. The group together are called "The Liars", unclear why, but whatever. Every summer was filled of great memories that created a bond between the four and even sparked a relationship between the main character Cadence (Caddy) and Gat, a close friend to her cousin Johnny. The whole story is really a blur until the end, when everything that happened the summer she turned 15, is revealed. That summer, the four of them began ranting about how they could fix all the family issues by burning down the main house, but things go terribly wrong. Teachers probably would not use this book for any one type of assignment.
