I loved this book almost as much as I loved We Were Liars. I was really impressed by the author's ability to tell a story just as captivating as the previous book, in a prequel no less. I would definitely recommend this book BUT I recommend reading the other book first because this book will spoil We Were Liars.

i want to start by saying that i absolutely love how the author writes. her language is absolutely beautiful and you really feel as if you are inside the lines of the story. however personally i found this book underwhelming compared to the first. i was expecting to be hit as hard as the first book but this never came which was disappointing. regardless the story was very nicely written and portrayed.
