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.

Though I was a bit apprehensive about Carrie being the star of our story, I believe that this prequel absolutely lives up to the original novel. Cadence has a very unique voice, easy to follow along with, and Carrie’s has much of that same tone. I enjoyed the boys in the story

(except for Pfeff, of course)

. I love the plot, and didn’t expect any of the plot twists that came. I DO think that Bess could’ve been included more,

and the whole Pfeff-Penny-r*pe storyline made me uncomfortable . And sorry, but I don’t think that Penny’s bi (she stuffed it down, fine, but I just don’t think it fits up with her character, sorry)

. Ending could’ve been better. Overall though, an amazing experience.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the first book, and murder mysteries.

E. Lockhart knows how to write a story to capture the audience. This was another quick read for me simply because I was interested in the story. I think I was able to put the mystery together a little more than ‘We Were Liars”, maybe because I read “We Were Liars” first, maybe for other reasons, but it was still good.
