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 😊.

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.

i want to start by saying that i absolutely love how the author writes. her language is absolutely beautiful and you really feel as if you are inside the lines of the story. however personally i found this book underwhelming compared to the first. i was expecting to be hit as hard as the first book but this never came which was disappointing. regardless the story was very nicely written and portrayed.
