Open the curtain of a mystery
“We are Sinclairs.” What kind of pain is hiding behind this sentence and covered with glory? I don’t know if it is a lucky for a girl like Cadence-- who is the main character of the book; as the time she enjoy the benefits of living in a old-money family, she must also learn to hide her feelings under the mask called smelling.
Cadence is a beautiful and quiet girl who always spend her summer holiday with her mother Penny at Beechwood Island in Windemere. She likes to read book and play with a boy called Gat. Because of she is the oldest grandchildren in the Sinclair family, she bear the expectations and heiress. However, from what I know her granddad harries and grandma Tipper seemed loved Johnny more who is there biggest grandchild and the son of Carrie who lived in Red Gate and New York City. Johnny is snark and bounce who has a little brother called will and a friend called Gate. Gate is the nephew of Johnny mother’s new date whose name is Ed. Ed and Gate both have Indian ancestry, so their skin color is dark and have black hair which is really different from the Sinclair family who are white white with blond hairs. However Gate get along well with the Cadence, Johnny and Mirren; Gate have chance to stay in the island is because johnny beg the grandparent to let him stay, and grandparent never say no to johnny. they have been called lairs by the elders. Also I felt a little bit sincere feeling between Gate and Cadence. From how gate act the first time he saw Cadence and how they stay with each other together, but leave the other people. Nonetheless, they are only 14 years old, so they don’t consider this as love.
Mirren one of the four lairs who is the daughter of Bess. She is a sugar, curiosity and rain girl. She has two twins sister and a sister called taft. They live Cuddledown and Cambridge.
A really important change on Cadence is the leaving of his father. He is a military history professor, he said he can’t stand the life of being a Sinclair, so he leave with some women. There’s connection between the words he said with the title which is her father said he couldn’t smile and lie like a Sinclair. Although, Cadence and Penny feel really bad after father’s leaving, they still smile as a Sinclair, change the things her father left and go back to normal life. Cadence describe her feeling as being shot in chest.
As you can see, that is all the information I get from this book from chapter one to chapter 5. It is a story full of mystery and lies and I am really looking forward to see what is going to happen next, What happen between Cadence and Gate? Why she become sick?
