Suzanne Collins gave her readers a huge gift in returning to the world of The Hunger Games series, the first three books of which she wrote in 2008, 2009 and 2010, for the prequel story of one Haymitch Abernathy.

Haymitch, portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the quartet of films based on Collins’ original book trilogy, was Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark’s (Josh Hutcherson) mentor for their two Hunger Games — the 74th and 75th.

“We Were Liars” plunges viewers into the wealthy Sinclair family, who spend every summer on the privately-owned Beechwood Island in New England.

Based on the beloved YA novel by E. Lockhart, “We Were Liars” centers its story on Cadence Sinclair, the eldest grandchild and the heir to the Sinclair fortune, who struggles to piece together the events of the previous summer that left her with a traumatic injury.

Spoiler Alert: This piece spoils the entirety of We Were Liars now streaming on Prime Video.

From the beginning of Julie Plec’s and Carina Adly MacKenzie’s television adaptation of E. Lockhart’s bestselling book We Were Liars, it’s clear that narrator Cadence Sinclair Eastman has a vivid imagination and a knack for storytelling.

Throughout the series, which also stars Shubham Maheshwari as Gat Patil, Joseph Zada as Johnny Sinclair Dennis and Esther McGregor as Mirren Sinclair Sheffield, viewers are on a journey told from Cadence’s sometimes unreliable perspective, waiting on the edge of their seats for her to recover her equally vivid and colorful memories of summer 16 so that she can piece together what happened that left her barely clothed on the beach one night on her family’s private Beechwood Island. The Sinclairs — led by patriarch Harris (David Morse) and matriarch Tipper (Wendy Crewson), parents...

Cadence is suspicious as ever of Johnny after finding out that he lied to her about what happened at Tipper's funeral. She suspects that he, and possibly Mirren, are keeping even bigger secrets from her about what really happened during summer 16. Now, she's ready to get to the bottom of it.

Spoilers are ahead from We Were Liars episode 4.
