We were Liars Series

[Anonymous]

Following up on why they are called ‘Liars’. Does that really get explained in the series? I’m not recalling it.

The AI answer.

In the novel We Were Liars, the group of four cousins, Cadence, Johnny, Mirren, and Gat, are called "The Liars" by their family due to their tendency to cause trouble and then lie to cover it up. This nickname, initially referring to their childhood mischief and attempts to evade consequences, takes on a more significant meaning as the story progresses, highlighting themes of deception, family secrets, and the manipulation of truth.

If you like this genre try High Tides/Knokke Off

AI is wrong here about the novel. The reason they are called liars is never specified in the novel, and the author herself has indicated that part was edited out.

And I've read the actual novel, not just consulted AI to tell me what it is about.

There is a much bigger twist but after the dogs I did not even care.

I've read the novel twice. They are liars because of the stories/lies they told as children (together), it is explained in the novel, but it's brief.

It's further explained in the second book - Family of Liars. They all lie to cover up the truth of different situations. It's not even passed off as a lie, but their version of a story.

The second book is Carrie's (the oldest daughter/mother of Johnny) story, and begins the summer after the youngest daughter, Rosemary drowns.

Did the sisters kill Rosemary? Bc one of the moms implies the three of them did something terrible in the show.

Yes it's in the first episode in the first 10 minutes. I believe it has something to do with making up stories to their parents so they can be wild and independent on their own but re-watch it to verify yourself. Sorry. Just started watching so dont know much yet about the series.

I read the book years ago and saw the twist coming from a mile away (perhaps because it was the same twist as a very popular movie I'd recently watched). Hoping to watch the series soon and see whether/how it is foreshadowed, because there was a line early on in the book where I was like "yep, they're [redacted]."

Not according to Carrie's version, but again they are all 'liars', and Carrie is struggling with addiction so it's difficult to separate fact from fiction. Still the remaining sisters do some terrible things in the second book. It's all generational.

I assume they will try to make the prequel Season 2 if the series gets renewed.

Book 3 - We Fell Apart will be released in November. I can't tell if its still a prequel, or if it's set in the future. The characters are not featured in the first two books.



Spoiler for book 2 ----

Rosemary is with the au pair swimming on the small beach. The au pair went back to the cottage to get sweaters, and came back to find Rosemary struggling to swim out in the ocean. No one from the family was there.

They foreshadow it pretty clearly in the show an episode before with the mention of that film.

Ty. What I found fascinating as a twist on the show was not the actual twist but more my reaction of “what a bunch of boring, annoying kids” morphing into “wow, they were psychopaths all along” it’d be interesting if the moms turn out to have drowned Rosemary!
