Many thanks to Netgalley for the eARC of this book, I have my own copy purchased now. Unfortunately my life has been hectic so this book is on sale already and I wasn’t able to review for publication date, but that’s good for you as you can get it right now.
Family of Liars by e. lockhart is a prequel to her book We were Liars which I’d read and enjoyed a few years ago - It does contain spoilers! The author seems to have her own very unique way of writing and I actually really enjoy it. I haven’t read any of her other books yet but would love to try some.
If you’ve read and liked We were Liars then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this and it’s a good, easy, fast paced read. If you haven’t read We were Liars I’d definitely recommend reading that first to avoid spoilers but I guess you could read them prequel first too.
I enjoyed learning more about the Sinclair family, I liked comparing the maps in each book too, I enjoyed learning Carrie’s story.
You don’t have to have read We Were Liars to enjoy this book. It does in fact reveal a few spoilers when read the wrong way round. You cannot help but feel completely engaged with this dynastic (if not completely messed up) family.
I really hope that there are more secrets to be uncovered.
Family of Liars by E Lockhart is available now.
The story telling is evocative and emotional and the mini stories within really bring to life the metaphors.
I love the way the chapters are laid out and the writing style and honestly I would love to read even more about this family (*hint hint*).
But overall it was a beautiful mess about family, love, duty and responsibility.
Favourite Quote - Pretending. Lying. Trying to have a good time.
Favourite Character - Rosemary

By Emily on 4 June 2022

Lockhart knows how to write a page turner. Whilst this is billed as a YA novel, at 42 I still really enjoyed it, perhaps more so because of it being set in the 1980's with music and film references I could appreciate. The supernatural elements help the story to hang together rather than being over the top, and the rivalries, expectations and secrets within families ring true. Some reviewers have disliked the books because of the privileged characters whose wealth enables them to treat others as disposable, but for me that was part of the fun. Who doesn't want to be transported to a private island, where the beds are made daily for you, the food sounds delicious and you get to attend the annual lemon hunt (like an Easter Egg hunt, except you hunt for lemons and the prize is a $100 book store voucher)!
