Family of Liars by @elockhart

By Pamelascott

A windswept private island off the coast of Massachusetts.

A hungry ocean, churning with secrets and sorrow.

A fiery, addicted heiress. An irresistible, unpredictable boy.

A summer of unforgivable betrayal and terrible mistakes.

Welcome back to the Sinclair family.

They were always liars.

I'm a fan of the author and thought We Were Liars was terrific when I read it years ago. I really wanted to read Family of Liars when I found out it was a prequel. I had a great time reading this. I love twisty thrillers and I love unreliable narrators so this book ticked all the boxes for me. I liked the structure of the book, how it starts in the present the returns to a dark event in the narrator Carrie's past and returns to the present at the end. I generally enjoy this kind of structure and have used it myself. This is a great twisty thriller. I'd recommend it.

4/5
