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!

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.
