Didn’t feel fully into this one until I was about 75% of the way through it, but then I was hooked.

This was good. I really didn’t know what to expect when I went into this but I enjoyed it. The writing style is odd like we were  liars were, but after a while you just get used to how it’s written. I honestly really like the main character and she did nothing wrong I mean she did but I forgive her. This also made me tear up at the end. I think if you enjoyed we were liars you should pick this up.

Okkayyyayy sooo I like this book! When I write my reviews I like to minus things off from a 5 star review to bring it down to whatever review I want to give it. I minused two stars off. 
I was reading with my friend and the one thing that we could not get over was FUCKING ROSEMARY
WE KNOW SHES DEAD OMG WHY DOES SHE KEEP APPEARING

Rosemary adds nothing I'm sorry but it's true. When I started reading the book I saw Rosemary on the family tree and I was just like oh ok who the eff is this and then we were introduced to her and she instantly dies and it's as if we have to care and relate to Carrie because it affects her so greatly but I could not give less of a damn about Rosemary and her stuffed animals. 
Also whenever Carrie pulled out a fairytale I thought oh not this again, but I actually learned to appreciate them in a sense I really liked the use of the tbh💅💅💅👌
I literally lovevevvevelove the writing style like I know the broken up writing style makes people so mad but Idec I love it. It makes it so dramatic to me. I just felt sooo immersed in the story and everything happening I mean there was some drama. It felt like what was happening was real.
Honestly shame on the author for making me think Pfeff was hot and then he pulls THAT🙄🙄😣chile...
Even though Penny went through some stuff she was still a bitch🖕
Fupenny and bye pfeff 
Anyways Me and my best friend demand a Carrie and Cadence ghost-seeing explanation because???? Girl where does the plot point go??? And Tipper can see them too???? Alrighty...🤨
I like this book 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
 I honestly like the characters way more than the first book but the first one is still better. Would still tell someone to read this after We Were Liars 👌.
