Bookish Kingdom discussion

So I just finished this book and I haven't picked up another book because I can't keep thinking about this one! I'm interested to see what you guys think of it! There's also some discussion questions here that I will like for everyone to participate in (if you want to) if you have read the book. So here they are!

Discussion Questions:
(view spoiler)[ 1. Describe the Sinclairs. In what ways are their family experiences unique? In what way are they like most other families? How do they deal with deaths, addictions, and the tragedies that afflict all types of families?
2. In what ways does her father's abandonment of their family impact Cadence? What can be inferred about his choice to no longer live as part of the Sinclair family?
3. Consider Cadence'a narration. Though she freely admits she remembers little and is on a number of medications, do you believe her version of the story?
4. What role does Cadence's grandfather play in the story? How does her role as patriarch define the choices made by his children and grandchildren? To what extent is he to blame for the shortcomings of others?
5. When describing her aunt's divorce, Cadence states "I don't know what happened. The family never speaks of it." In what ways does the family's curtain of politeness paralyze them?
6. When Cady falls in love with Gat, their relationship and his role as an outsider to the family threaten to overturn the social order. In your opinion, what is the real danger of their relationship? To whom?
7. Discuss the significance of the title, We Were Liars. In what ways does it accurately describe the events and relationships portrayed in the novel?
8. How does the author's use of Shakespeare's King Lear and Bronte's Wuthering Heights influence the story?
9. Compare the parent/child relationships in the story. To what extent are the relationships of these characters shaped by the world around them? To what extent do their relationships shape that world?
10. Consider the moral questions raised by this novel. How does Lockhart handle topics of racism, land ownership, inheritance, materialism, greed, and manipulation? In your opinion, in what ways do these characters enrich the story?
11. Do you believe the Liars were justified in any way to committing the crime they committed? Was the crime successful in any way?
12. Was the ending a surprise or did you see it coming?
13. What do you feel Cadence learns at the end of the novel? What insights does she gain?
14. What five words would you use to describe We Were Liars?
*BONUS*
15. What did you think of E. Lockhart's writing? Did you think it fit with this story or felt out of place?
16, Ghosts or hallucinations? (hide spoiler)]

You can answer these questions one at a time or whichever you prefer. I will post my opinion once I see I can discuss it with somebody! :)

I hated this book so much! The whole book was so weird and most of the time I was like what is happening, this is so weird and the characters were selfish and uncaring.

I'm sorry you didn't like the book :( The format took some getting used to and the characters are definitely not my favorite. Everyone has their own opinions. I personally enjoyed this book

Glad you liked it!
