i liked this one even bit more than the first one. the style was more polished and more beautiful, and i really enjoyed getting insight into the sisters’ dynamics. again, read this in two sittings. what the fuck. there’s something in lockhart’s books that makes them so fast to read and so addictive

I think I actually enjoyed this book a little more than the first, at times. The random bits of poetry were a bit distracting and unnecessary (the writing was prose-like enough already), but E. Lockhart is an amazing author who wrote this mysterious, drama-infused, family-focused story in a gorgeous way. I loved how this book talked about family, and some of the moments between them all (especially towards the end) were absolutely adorable. Highly recommend if you enjoyed the first one or any books like it.

great book! loved seeing how cadence’s mom and aunts lives during their teenage years.

both the first and second plot twists (harris not being carrie’s biological father and pfeff dying) were predictable to me but i still enjoyed reading them. however, i did not expect the third one (carrie actually being pfeff’s killer).
