Book Summary

Family of Liars serves as a prequel to We Were Liars, deepening the mystery and drama surrounding the wealthy and complicated Sinclair family. The story centers on Summer Sinclair, the aunt of Cadence Sinclair from We Were Liars, as she returns to Beachtown (a fictional private island where the Sinclairs spend summers) after years away. Summer left Beachtown as a teenager under a cloud of scandal and heartbreak, and now—years later—she must confront her past, including unresolved family secrets and a terrible event she thought she had escaped.

As Summer reconnects with her intimidating relatives—charismatic, privileged, and often cruel—old tensions flare. The narrative explores family dysfunction, emotional wounds, guilt, and the power dynamics within a dynasty obsessed with image and legacy. Through Summer’s eyes, we see how the family’s cycle of secrecy, entitlement, and self-deception was already well established long before the events of We Were Liars. Themes of forgiveness, truth versus perception, and the struggle to reclaim one’s identity in the face of familial expectations run throughout the novel. With lyrical prose, psychological depth, and emotional tension, Family of Liars lays bare the roots of the Sinclairs’ glamour—and their pain.
