I literally finished this in one day it was phenomenal! i loved this one so much better than we were liars which i gave 3 stars i think?? ( read we were liars first idk why this is called the prequel)I dont know why maybe because that was the first time i read it and i wasnt sure of the nondescript plot. but now its so good because im familiar with the world and i dont know how e. lockhart does it! she puts so many random everyday things inside the story but it all builds up for something like character development, personality revealing, just all so cunningly planned, absolutely lovely!!!! though after finishing it i felt a little queasy but that may be because im a younger reader. im 13. anyway, loved this book!!! it is darker than the first one though so watch out! the plot didnt really connect to the title in the first book because only the main girl in the first book cadence had secrets and lied. so that kinda threw me off but this book, everyone had secrets and told insane lies it was do exciting.
I just didnt like the dad much but that was the whole point.. HES SO SCARY

I think I actually enjoyed this book a little more than the first, at times. The random bits of poetry were a bit distracting and unnecessary (the writing was prose-like enough already), but E. Lockhart is an amazing author who wrote this mysterious, drama-infused, family-focused story in a gorgeous way. I loved how this book talked about family, and some of the moments between them all (especially towards the end) were absolutely adorable. Highly recommend if you enjoyed the first one or any books like it.
