I love that it centered around Carrie and you get to see the similarities between her and Cadence in the two books. Seeing that the family has always been like this and the reoccurring idea of seeing ghosts on the island.

“What the literal f***!” - The words that came out of my mouth when I got to part 6. 

Once again, did not see that one coming.  And then later on, once again basically being told jk it was me who did it. 

This family. The drama. It’s all straight messy. And since it’s not real, I’m here for it. 

I normally don’t read these types of books. It’s like heavy drama shows I can’t really watch them but I always want to. Maybe I can read them and just have a pallet cleaner in the middle with a good ole predictable rom com. 

After watching We Were Liars and seeing how it ended thinking, that was not in the book. I had to go read the next book in the series which is actually a prequel. 

I also had a particular theory very early on in this book about drugs and ghosts. I won’t say more than that to cause spoilers, but it gets dismissed in the end. So I will say all questions will be answered. 

But apparently there’s a third book coming out and I need to know who’s pov are we getting and what’s going to go down? What’s the next plot twist? I paused to google it and it’s a companion book to We Were Liars and based on different characters on an island close by. Interesting. Either way, will be reading come its release in November!
