I enjoyed the added depth this prequel gave to characters we met in We Were Liars. The family relationships were interesting and I enjoyed the drama.

e. lockhart, I am floored!! This is a prequel to “we were liars,” told through Carrie’s eyes, the mother of Johnny. I audiobooked this, and the narration was fantastic. I think lockhart veers away slightly from the writing style in WWL, with fewer cut-off sentences and metaphors. That also could be because I am listening to it as opposed to reading it.

This story touches on the plights of the privileged as the first book does, but I think it does a better job of showcasing just how vain and immoral some of those problems were.

I think the climax of this book is so intriguing, and (without spoilers) they build on a discovery of what happens on Beechwood Island in a great way. I do not have sisters, but I feel this book captured the complexity of sisterly love, from an outsider's perspective at least.

I am still not the biggest fan of the fairytale aspect, but I just finished the I did not see the plot twist coming!
