We Were Liars Part 1: Welcome / Chapter 1 Summary

  • Cadence gives us a brief introduction to the Sinclair family, showing us that that there's a whole lot of denial going on.
  • In short, they're old-money Democrats, and they're all perfect (not), none of them suffer from addiction (not), and they've got lots of money (true for now, but running out, so heading toward not).
  • None of the other Sinclairs care that one among them (namely, Cadence) is so much in love that "desperate measures must be taken."
  • Also, they own an island off the coast of Massachusetts where they spend their summers, with only each other for company.
  • Something tells us this isn't going to turn out well.
