      Významná rodina Sinclairovcov prichádza každé leto na svoj súkromný ostrov pri Massachusetts, aby tam trávila prázdniny. Rok čo rok sa tak stretávajú aj štyri spriaznené duše, sesternice Cadence a Mirren, bratranec Johnny a Gat. Ten celkom nepatrí do rodiny, čo mu hrdí Sinclairovci dávajú pocítiť. Rodina ich nazýva Klamári. Sú v rovnakom veku, a keď sa stretnú, robia len zlobu. Počas pätnásteho leta sa na ostrove stane nehoda. Cadence nájdu na pláži takmer bez života. Keď sa po čase preberie v nemocnici, na nič si nepamätá. Nikto z rodiny jej nechce prezradiť, čo sa vlastne stalo, a nasledujúci rok jej zakážu vrátiť sa na ostrov. Cadence trpí príšernými migrénami, jej najvernejšími priateľmi sú lieky proti bolesti. Píše Klamárom e-maily, posiela pohľadnice, no ani od jedného nedostáva odpoveď. Dokonca ani od Gata, s ktorým sa do seba zaľúbili. Čo im spravila, že na ňu zanevreli? Na sedemnáste leto sa dostáva na ostrov opäť a Klamári ju privítajú s úsmevom, akoby sa nič nestalo. No ani zďaleka to nie je pravda...

Imogen lives at the Playa Grande Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, spending her days in the gym and fabricating stories about being forced out of Stanford. But Imogen isn't who she claims to be; she’s actually Jule, on the run from something—or someone. Where is the real Imogen? Rewind: Jule and Imogen were once inseparable friends, sharing secrets during a summer on Martha's Vineyard. But months have passed, and now Jule is using Imogen's identity. “You will devour it.” —Gayle Forman. Fans of E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars will be captivated and won’t see the ending coming. “Tangled secrets and diabolical lies lead to a mind-blowing outcome,” crafted with precision. “Moves at a breakneck speed.” —Marie Claire. As with Lockhart's previous novel, readers will likely finish and flip back to find missed clues. Don’t miss Family of Liars, the eagerly anticipated prequel, available in May 2022!
