I thought we'd probably end up with twists we absolutely didn't see, which we do, but not what the story is about. I didn't know what to expect with Family of Liars. This book is so, so good! The story is different, the reason for the story is different, but the Sinclair family is so familiar. It's a summer of betrayal, and a summer of liars. It's the summer after Carrie's jaw surgery, it's the summer she self-medicates, and it's the summer a group of boys join them. But that's not the only thing different about this summer. Because it turns out Rosemary isn't gone, she's still at Beechwood, sometimes, waiting for Carrie. She is grieving, but unable to express her grief, because no-one wants to talk about it, they just want to move on, leave it behind. The Sinclair family doesn't talk about their feelings they move forward, they choose joy, they go back to being normal.

Rosemary was their youngest sister, but she died last summer, drowned, when she was 10. But this summer is different it's the first summer without Rosemary. As always, the Sinclair family have returned to their island of Beechwood.

Carrie Sinclair is 17, her sister Penny 16, and her sister Bess 14. And it was so bloody good! Just as twisty and surprising as the first book! I dragged my heels a bit on reading We Were Liars, but I absolutely adored it, and wasn't going to make the same mistake with it's prequel.
