Young Soul Readers -- February 20, 2023

The Young Soul Readers is a book discussion group comprised of adults who particularly enjoy reading the young adult genre, where the books are often written with a teenage audience in mind, but include characters and themes that adults also enjoy. Within that genre, many different subgenres will be discussed, such as mystery, suspense, or fantasy. The group meets on the third Monday of the month at 6:30. If you are an adult who would like to join this group, please call the library at 574-546-2849 to register.

For their inaugural book discussion, the Young Soul Readers chose We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. Set on a private island off the coast of Massachusetts, we meet the prominent and prestigious Sinclair family. As we get to know the youngest generation of this family, we encounter lies, love, secrets, and dysfunction. 

Many of the members of the Young Soul Readers thought it was a good book and did not see the twist ending coming at all. The end is what truly makes this book outstanding, leaving the readers stunned. The group gave the book a strong 4.7 out of 5 stars and are looking forward to reading more titles by this author.
