it’s a million times better than we were liars
i liked the beginning of the book and i think carrie and pfeff were so cute they were actully adorable they had me smiling and giggling up until he did that thing then i was like he needs to die
there are these silly stories throughout when i first read it i was like i don’t care but it all comes together in chapter 46 
i love yardley 
i want carrie to be happy she deserves to be happy
after
i don’t like part 6 that’s it i just don’t like it

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.
