After I finished reading the book "We Were Liars", I felt really sad no only just for the main characters but the whole Sinclair family. This book narrated things that happened between Summer fifteen and Sumer seventeen. Cadence had an accident which caused her memory lost, and she lived in her imagination and gathered her memory fragments all Summer seventeen. While everyone was wondering who caused Cadence's accident, it turned out that Cadence was actually the one who caused her injury. She also caused the other three Lars's death: Jonny, Mirren, and Gat. When her memories all came back, she found out that she killed the three people who she love most in the world. I think this is so sad as an ending, and it is such a cruel punishment on Cadence. Cadence did not mean to do this kind of thing; she will never hurt her loves, but the fact is that she did. Yes, she achieved her goal that the aunts never fight for the money after the fire, but she is going to live with guilt forever. She would always question herself why she was alive. The biggest punishment and pain are left to the survivors why they did not die while others were in heaven.
To be honest, I think this was not fair to Cadence. She did nothing wrong. She just wanted to have a peaceful and a real family. She wanted her family members really care each other. She just didn't plan it right. She just didn't know other ways to make her family turn better. There were so many things that a fifteen-year-old girl don't know. Besides, she didn't set the fire by herself. She shouldn't be the one who suffered and endured the aftermath.
Although this tragedy reunited the whole Sinclair family, its price should not be three young teenagers' lives. However, I really don't know if there could be a better ending than this. I don't really like tragedy, but I think it is the best way for people who read and acknowledge the story to actually think and readjust their family values. Tragedy makes people sad but think.
