Friends Like These
On her website, Meg Rosoff describes her book: A gritty, intoxicating novel about a summer of unforgettable firsts: independence, lies, love, and the inevitable loss of innocence. Who needs enemies, when you have friends like these?
Never Let Me Go
On Goodreads, Kazuo Ishiguro's book is quickly summarised: Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well-tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
We Were Liars
On Blinkist, E.Lockhart's book is quickly summarised: We Were Liars (2014) is the suspenseful story of the wealthy, carefree Sinclair family and the tragic event that exposes the cracks in their perfect facade – as told by an unreliable narrator, Cadence Sinclair.
