bookishdaydreaming 's review for:
Family of Liars
by E. Lockhart
Read a proof copy of this book.
I read We Were Liars 5+ years ago and the way it was written has stayed with me so strongly so I was really excited to read this book. It was fast-paced, mysterious, dark and somehow still really fun. I loved the use of fairy-tales in the books and how Carrie positioned herself in them.
I definitely think you'll get more out of this if you refresh your memory of We Were Liars before reading (I didn't and sometimes didn't appreciate everything that was happening because I couldn't remember). As interesting as this story was, I didn't feel the same impact as the writing as I did in WWL hence the four stars.
