A beautiful and distinguished family.

True love.
The truth.

Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.

LIKED:
- This was not what I was expecting at all. GORGEOUS writing. Parts of a sentence broken into one or two words per line... I don't know, I just fancied it a lot.
- It's a story about 3 cousins plus-a-sorta-halfway-adopted cousin, and their rich family. And! Main setting! Is! An island! Like!
- It's a mystery... On an island! (Which I sorta figured out from the time the main character returned to the island after her "accident", but then I doubted myself, but then at the end, I was RIGHT!)
- Even though I basically figured out the mystery, I loved it none-the-less, heartbreaking though it was.
