Wish goodreads would let us use half stars, would really rate this a 3.5/5. I love this book because it's nostalgic, but it is very much YA. Good mystery and good drama, but not the best book I've read this summer.

The writing was better than the first book but I found the story of the first more interesting

After reading it:
Well it might have been good. Not as good as WWL but good.

Before reading it:
don't think this will go well but... i think im gonna read it????

(We Were Liars is really good as a stand-alone novel. A sequel/prequel will ruin it a little for me)
