The prequel to We Were Liars. You have to read We Were Liars first before reading Family of Liars as there is literally a spoiler on the first line. 

I much preferred this to We Were Liars. (Sorry Hot Key) but I really wasn’t the biggest fan of WWL and I’m glad this was better! 

I listened to this as an audiobook which I think helped as E Lockhart has an acquired writing style. (It’s very literary, with short sentences and minimal punctuation.) 

It’s a mystery, thriller sort of read! 

Expect: family, holiday, beach, death, sea, ghosts, lies.
