We Fell Apart: A We Were Liars Novel
E. Lockhart
We Fell Apart, the hotly anticipated third title in E. Lockhart's We Were Liars series, is a sun-washed and salt-soaked YA mystery that features a gently developing romance backdropped by burgeoning familial ties and deceit.
As Matilda prepares for college, her life begins to crumble--her boyfriend breaks up with her, her friends disappear, and a letter arrives from a famous, reclusive artist claiming to be her father. Kingsley Cello's letter says he wants to give Matilda a painting and invites her to his Martha's Vineyard home. Matilda--who knows nothing about her father--decides to visit. She finds a near-derelict wooden castle where her father's evasive longtime partner, a half-brother she didn't know existed, and two seemingly random young men live. Her father is nowhere to be seen.
We Fell Apart stands alone for readers new to the trilogy, but those who have read We Were Liars and Family of Liars will gain a widened understanding of the Sinclair family.
