A friend recommended this book and I’ll be honest it frustrated me a little. It was a caveat that fire safety is very important 😅, and secondly that you should always check your privilege and interrogate the story you tell yourself. Hear me and my friend Alia discuss privilege both macroscopically (class) and microscopically (in everyday circumstances) when it comes to the book. And also hear us explore the inventions and lies and stories we tell ourselves that create our personality traits and why Cadence decided to tell her particular story that way. GoodReads Summary: 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. We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from New York Times bestselling author, National Book Award finalist, and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart. Read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE. P.S. Sorry the episode is a day late, I was VERY exhausted yesterday. Have a good week. ☺️
