Did I need this no… did I enjoy it yes! The ‘twist’ was not as surprising as the first book but I still am fond of how these stories are written.

I much preferred We Were Liars but this one was alright I guess. All of the like bits I loved in We Were Liars was not in this.

Honestly, I really thought that this book was just gonna be a solid 4 star. But the last four chapters really brought up the entire story for me. And Rosemary was definitely the highlight of the entire book.

i liked this one even bit more than the first one. the style was more polished and more beautiful, and i really enjoyed getting insight into the sisters’ dynamics. again, read this in two sittings. what the fuck. there’s something in lockhart’s books that makes them so fast to read and so addictive
