Johnny is curious about Carrie's past and asks her to tell him stories about the worst things she did when she was young, so Carrie tells him about the summer of 1987, her 17th summer, the summer she first "saw a ghost" and kissed a boy for the first time. The novel takes readers back in time to show them the secrets at the core of the Sinclair family and how some of the major events of We Were Liars were set in motion during the summer of 1987, but the narrative also works perfectly well as a standalone coming-of-age novel about grief, addiction, young love, and learning to navigate the world.įamily of Liars starts with Caroline Lennox Taft Sinclair - Carrie to almost everyone in her life - spending time in her kitchen with the ghost of her dead son Johnny. Lockhart's Family of Liars is a strange prequel to her New York Times bestseller We Were Liars.
