“No way out but through.”
If I’m honest, I went into this book not knowing what I was getting myself into. I read We Were Liars last month and I couldn’t tell you the plot at all, I just knew I enjoyed it at the time. I think the same happened with this book.
I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first book, because I think it was easier to follow. I loved the aspect of this storyline and I didn’t see the plot twist coming!
E. Lockhart very cleverly writes a story that tells you the plot twist and the ending of the book right at the beginning, but you don’t put it together until the end. And it’s both infuriating and thoroughly enjoyable!
I did really enjoy this book, and I loved the sisterhood aspect of the siblings. I definitely got a lot more hooked in the second half of the book and read it in one sitting!
4.25⭐️ I look forward to the next book (when it’s released!)

I love the way that E. Lockhart writes. 🤩 Specifically how she describes characters. 🥰 If I could pick one author to describe me, I’d pick her. 🙃 I also really like the way that her characters aren’t perfect, and the way the characters sometimes call out the other characters. 😅
Despite the fact that I’ve read this book three times now,
The only specific thing that I don’t like about this book is how
But overall, I really like this book and it’s made me really excited for summer! ☀️ (Despite the fact that it’s February. 🥶)
