Better than we were liars, but still average.
In this book we follow teenage Carries adventures in Beechwood.
Way to many unnecessary charcters. For example Major was soo irrelevant for the plot.
The author though putting lgbtq charcters in this book was a good idea, but it felt very forced.
Although the vibe is similar to we were liars, I think family of liars is more complex and didn’t have the expectations for a huge plot twist.
Some parts were interesting, others completely boring.
Great book to read in the summertime on the beach.

I didn't like this one as much as We Were Liars. The MCs were mostly unlikable and the supernatural element was weird and unnecessary. It was still a good book but nowhere near as good as the first.
