#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The thrilling prequel to the TikTok phenomenon and New York Times bestseller 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. 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. Review An Amazon Best Book of May 2022: If you loved We Were Liars then the backstory of the Sinclair family’s deeply-rooted rifts and allegiances is the book you’ve been waiting for. Family of Liars returns to idyllic Beechwood Island, circa 1987, a magical epoch of lemon hunts and privilege, of first love, and of shocking events that upend the teenage Sinclair sisters’ lives. Lockhart pulled me into the story so thoroughly that I could smell the ocean, hear the clink of ice in a glass, and feel the raw emotions of our (admittedly) unreliable narrator. Old family secrets come to light, and new ones are buried in this spell-binding novel of family and tragedy, love and betrayal, that will sweep you off your feet. -Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor Review Praise for Family of Liars:Poetic and thoughtful.... I anticipated that at some point a shocking twist would come. And, wow, does it ever. -The New York TimesBesides superb character development, there is a dark, supernatural angle that makes this an interesting novel with unexpected twists…. An atmospheric story that will welcome new and seasoned readers to the Sinclair family. -NPRFull of plot twists, betrayal, and ugly family secrets, fans of the first novel will no doubt love it. -Paste Magazine Beautiful and devastating. -Kirkus Reviews, starred review [A] layered, atmospherically tense exploration of jealousy, love, and family loyalty. -Publishers Weekly, starred review While knowledge of the earlier title enriches the drama here, this is still absolutely engrossing, and readers will wonder what other tragic secrets the Sinclairs are hiding. -The Bulletin, starred review An unforgettable, sorrowful story of grief, guilt and regret…. Lockhart further contrasts death, lies and grief with movie nights and sunny afternoons on sailboats, giving depth to this unsettling yet striking story. -Shelf Awareness, starred reviewThe novel is uncomfortably thought-provoking… and is impossible to put down. -The Horn BookAn absorbing prequel…. As she did in the original, Lockhart uses fairy tales and a shocking twist to powerful effect. -The Buffalo NewsPraise for We Were Liars:“Irresistible premise for this ticking time bomb of a novel.” -The New York Times Book Review“[A] haunting, sophisticated mystery... so twisty and well-told that it will appeal to older readers as well as to adolescents.” -The Wall Street JournalIts a nearly perfect story, and its utterly absorbing. -BustleNo book on this summers reading list will have readers immobilized in their hammocks more than E.
