Need a cigarette 🤣

Whew!! Make sure to read We Were Liars first. This will make this book more understandable and INCREDIBLE!

Very different

I am surprised about how much I am glad I listened to this.
I imagine it rings true in this world of privilege that is bountiful. The hum of wealth and denial pervade these lives. These people make snd then break the rules‼️

Interesting prequel

I am generally not a fan of prequels but this one is better than expected. It was a quick and easy read which sucked me in and I was able to finish in one day.

Adds so much context to We Were Liars

I was nervous about this book at first. I enjoyed We We’re Liars so much, and didn’t want to change my perspective on the Sinclair family. However, Family of Liars did not disappoint. Wonderfully written and beautifully narrated I would highly recommend giving it a listen.

**content warning/spoiler**
As someone who’s lost a younger sister, I was very grateful to have a friend let me know one of the main plot points of this book is the loss of the Sinclair family’s youngest daughter.

Thrilling

One thing after another things happening that are not expected good story but maybe geared more towards young adults

Moving

I loved the story and the performance of the story. Very moving. Pulled me in and kept me until it ended. So vey good!

Satisfying

Gorgeously atmospheric, FAMILY OF LIARS, the prequel to WE WERE LIARS drips privilege, snobbery and deception. FAMILY OF LIARS is perfect for listening on Audible. What might have been a slow read kept me interested as the four, now three Sinclair daughters feel the loss of the youngest, Rosemary, who drowned the summer before. No one speaks of the ten-year-old, whose ghost begins to visit narrator Carrie. Or is Rosemary a delusion?

Carrie learns painful truths, about her family and about herself the summer after Rosemary, while her detached parents pretend all is well. All is not well.

Though FAMILY OF LIARS lacks the big reveal of WE WERE LIARS, Lockhart’s poetic prose is a thing to behold and a reason to listen to the audiobook.

I enjoyed it

It’s hard to leave a review without spoiling the story. I’m just going to say I like the back story but Johny story line won’t go anywhere. A good story overall. I like the narrator voice and pace.

Not interested

I was expecting to like it as much as I like We Were Liars. I didn’t. I was rather bored.
After many chapters, it may be my OCD that gets me through to the end.

Amazing!

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook experience. The narration was exceptionally well done, with a clear and engaging voice that brought the characters and story vividly to life. The narrator’s ability to differentiate characters through distinct vocal tones and emotions made the listening experience immersive and enjoyable. The pacing was well-balanced, maintaining a steady flow that kept me captivated from start to finish without feeling rushed or dragging.
