I really enjoyed this book - I actually listened on audible (my first time listening to a read and it was fine but I still prefer paper) I read “we we’re liars” the prequel last year and thought it was well paced and it remember sobbing at the end. Family of liars follows the same path - really emotional, dark and a little mysterious with a little sprinkle of old money drama and lifestyle. This is a great summer read!

I think I actually enjoyed this book a little more than the first, at times. The random bits of poetry were a bit distracting and unnecessary (the writing was prose-like enough already), but E. Lockhart is an amazing author who wrote this mysterious, drama-infused, family-focused story in a gorgeous way. I loved how this book talked about family, and some of the moments between them all (especially towards the end) were absolutely adorable. Highly recommend if you enjoyed the first one or any books like it.

I loved this book at lot more than the original We Were Liars. The characters are a lot more likable and relatable, and the novel explores the story in a complex way when dealing with complex issues like rape, homophobia, and addiction. The ghost thing is still really weird though.
