I loved this book almost as much as I loved We Were Liars. I was really impressed by the author's ability to tell a story just as captivating as the previous book, in a prequel no less. I would definitely recommend this book BUT I recommend reading the other book first because this book will spoil We Were Liars.

The book discusses topics like family reputation, addiction, death ~ bereavement, avoiding emotions, love and murder. 

💫The Sinclair family traits like not being allowed to express emotions to the importance of holding a good family image resonates with me.

💫It made me feel emotions have anger, frustration, worry and love.

📈However I felt something was missing...sometimes I lost interest.
