So I did quite like this book. I really did prefer the main character (Carrie) over Cadence ( from We Were Liars) because I felt like she had a stronger, more memorable character than Cadence. I really did prefer this book. I just felt like it had a better plot and cast of characters. I did enjoy seeing how the sisters were together as, seeing how I am a sister myself, it was more real then anything else I have read.
I also think though that the romance was a little odd, like not completely finished. I just didn't really feel anything. I did enjoy seeing more about why the Aunties were how they were, I just wish we could have seen why Harris or Tipper are how they are. Maybe, in the future, there could be another prequel, but maybe in Tippers POV.
Thank you for reading my short but hopefully helpful review 😊.

There aren't enough good things I can say about this book.  Mostly character driven, but in such a way that there's also a plot.  The character development somehow all magnificently  becomes part of the plot towards the end.  It's also a mystery of sorts, but not a typical mystery.  The family development and relationships are stellar.  So flawed, but so realistic.  If you loved We Were Liars, but were unsure about the follow-up, don't be.  It's more of what I loved from the first one!
