I did read this on about 3 hrs of sleep so that could be affecting my rating. I read the first book a couple of years ago and didn't re read so take that as you will but I liked the first book a lot more. I enjoyed the twists in it and it shocked me. This one I enjoyed less. I didn't find the storyline to be particularly gripping and I didn't like any of the characters much apart from Tipper. Overall it was fine but I expected more from it based on the first book.

lollllll this book was bad. but it’s ok bc it was entertaining enough and i will say i did not expect that twist at the end. so there’s that! but yeesh it was lacking in subtlety… it felt like it was whacking me over the head with a board (so to speak) of the points it was trying to make about money and privilege and race and all that. like… oof. lowkey the woke mob got to this one. but not terrible bc hey i was entertained

the sequel is never better than the original -Olivia Rodrigo

plot/writing felt extremely choppy and weird, in a way that it took you out of the story. writing didn't feel as emotional or as good as we were liars. didn't really like any of the main characters tbh. some of the big plot twists were very predictable. idk how to feel about the BIG twist, it didn't really make sense why it was revealed so soon after. it was much easier to have a very strong emotional connection and empathy for we were liars and cadence compared to this story.

Honestly, I really thought that this book was just gonna be a solid 4 star. But the last four chapters really brought up the entire story for me. And Rosemary was definitely the highlight of the entire book.

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
