#14: Behind the Scenes of the We Were Liars Set with Snarky Marky

from Off The Shelf with Morgann Book

This week on Off The Shelf, we’re doing a deep dive into We Were Liars—the bestselling book turned series that’s as haunting as it is addictive. Morgann is joined by Mark, who visited the set of the new adaptation alongside her, and they unpack everything from meeting E. Lockhart to what it was really like behind the scenes of a film set (thanks prime video for flying us out❤️). Then they do a spoiler-free breakdown of the first few episodes of the new Prime Video show, plus the key ingredients for a good adaptation. For all those who have read the book & finished the series, the two also jump into a few spoilers at the very end and their predictions for how the show will play out! CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction (and spoiler disclaimer)2:35 Summary & Family Tree Recap5:49 First Time Reading We Were Liars7:20 Being on Set for the First Time10:31 Favourite Set Moments (and Meeting E.
