I Was Here by Gayle Forman - 3 1/2 Stars

Cody and Meg were best friends. They did everything together. So when Meg drinks a bottle of industrial strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is as shocked as everyone else is. But when Cody starts to dig in to Meg's past she discovers that there's a lot she really didn't know about Meg.

This was hard to read at times, but over all not too bad. The story focuses more on Cody's life after Meg than it does on Meg's suicide. I've heard mixed reviews on Forman's other books, so I'm not sure if I'll pick up anything else by her or not.

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart - 3 Stars

A rich family on a private island. Four friends whose friendship turns destructive. The liars is what they call themselves. One secret behind many, many lies.

Cady, 2 cousins, and a friend are the 4 liars who have grown up spending the summers on grandfather's private island. One summer changes everything, but Cady can't remember the events. The story goes back and forth from the present to the past while Cady slowly remembers what truly happened that summer. There was an unexpected twist at the end that helped boost my rating, but over all I really didn't care for the book.
