Reaction

In the ending of we were liars, Cadence and the other three liars burned Clairmont House and the other three died in Summer 15. In the last few chapters of the book, I found that Cadence seemed upset, and she ended the book with she deserved the bad things happened to her. She thought the plan to set a fire was stupid and she was the one to blame. She thought she caused their death. However, at least those of the Sinclairs who still alive banded up together and became a better family again.

I was kind of thrilling when I first saw the ending. It wasn’t unpredictable, and we even saw the ending when I finished half of the story. However, it was still thrilling, Gat, Mirren and Johnny were died because of the liars and the Sinclairs’ fault. Cadence was the only one who survived, bearing the hope and all the evil, the crime, to live alone. Maybe she was the most pitiful one.

I didn’t want to say it was Cadence’s fault or whose fault, they all did something wrong. Granddad kept controlling the whole family and all his properties. Those properties drove all the aunts crazy and they badly beaten each other. Gat brought the thinking, which said the family should share their money to the poor, to the family. Cadence kept acting as she was great and she wanted Gat to love her. Everyone did something wrong so it caused the breaking of the family.

Fortunately, the deaths of the three liars finally make the family stayed together. Grandpa finally became kind and accepted Ed to their family. After Cadence found out the truth, she finally integrated to the real family again, even though she felt like she deserved the loneliness. Even though the liars were dead, which seemed to be a big unfortunate, at least the family became better.

Over all, I liked the book, which brought me a lot of thinking of the plots and prediction. There might be many different ways to evaluate the whole story and the ending. It brought me lots of ideas about how would the family acted. Even it was just a fiction book, I wished Cadence in the book would became better with the whole Sinclair family.
