We Were Liars Chapter 59 Summary

  • She tells him she knows they set a fire, and he asks what else she remembers.
  • Answer: Nada—she only knows they burned down Clairmont.
  • Johnny lies down on the kitchen floor. Cadence asks if he's okay, and he tells her he's tired.
  • He presses his face into the tile and tells her that during summer fifteen, their mothers drank all the time; they also fought all the time.
