Minor: Homophobia
I have to say I am very impressed. I gave We Were Liars four stars even though, I hailed it as one of my best books I read last year in a sea of five (and even six) star books. There was just something about it that gripped me and I couldn't ignore it. Despite that, I was on the fence about this book, I thought I was done with the Sinclairs, and I honestly didn't care much of the adults when I read the first book so why would I pick this one up? I gave in eventually I guess. I'm not sure why now, I decided to read it months ago but I had gotten busy with life and just got back to it, and I am so glad I did. I have a similar feeling I had when I read We Were Liars: "It's not something I think I'd ever call my favourite but it's something I could many passionate discussions about." But, tenfold in that feeling because I liked no one, disagreed with almost every decision, thought they all deserved way more consequences but I could pick Family of Liars up a million times. I'm also glad because I like this one way more than the first. And the only reason why it's not the five star it could be, is because I feel like the symbolism was too heavy handed at times, explained all the way out as if the audience is ten. It got a bit like duh, even though it helped once or twice. Regardless, great book with a great amount of just story. I know that doesn't make the most sense to say because it's a fictional book, but it left me with a feeling I've only ever gotten from Taylor Jenkins Reid (specifically, Malibu Rising and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo), and if there's one thing about me, I am will forever praise the story telling of Ms. Reid so it was nice to see that somewhere else as well.
