I read we were liars at the start of this year, it was the book that got me out of my reading slump that lasted years, so of course I had to read the prequel. 

We were liars made me cry so much and for some reason I thought family of liars was basically going to be a copy and paste of we were liars. I was so wrong. This book made me so angry with it that I wanted to toss the book across my room. For the past week, all you could hear coming from my room was, "NO" "HOW DARE YOU!!?" And a lot of screaming. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel something, but someone who isn't much of a crier. 

I'm not vey good with trigger warnings, but I would say that some of the main ones are rape and death.
