I didn’t like the characters very much but I don’t know that you’re supposed to anyways?
This one was more historical, which I did find interesting. It has very similar vibes to WE WERE LIARS with rich white people on an island off Martha’s Vineyard. I knew I could crank it out for my #7booksin7days challenge. The main reasons I’ve “enjoyed” these two books is because they’re short, generally intriguing, and easy to read. It definitely took an interesting turn or two that I didn’t expect and I was addicted while reading. It features the parents and grandparents of the main character(s) in WE WERE LIARS. This one is actually a prequel novel, set in the late 80s. In any case, I was randomly intrigued by FAMILY OF LIARS and decided to read it against my best judgment. I do think I almost liked it better than the first book? It’s had a resurgence lately thanks to booktok and I still don’t understand why people like it. I remember it was one of the first books I read and reviewed for my blog and it just pissed me off. The prequel to We Were Liars takes readers back to the story of another summer, another generation, and the secrets that will haunt them for decades to come.Ī windswept private island off the coast of Massachusetts.Ī hungry ocean, churning with secrets and sorrow.Ī summer of unforgivable betrayal and terrible mistakes.
