If you’re looking for a fun and fast read, Lovers and Liars (2024) by Amanda Eyre Ward is the perfect book for a long summer afternoon. Estranged sisters Sylvie, Emma, and Cleo, along with their significant others, kids, and narcissistic mother, reunite in England for librarian Sylvie’s second marriage at a castle, which has been in her fiancé Simon’s family going back to the 1200s. The sub-plot of the story is a hilarious lampooning of the castle stay tourism industry in England. Who wouldn’t want to stay in the lover's suite of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn? Expect high family drama with a light-hearted touch and a satisfying conclusion.
