Even though this is considered a “prequel” you need to read “we were liars” before reading this book. Similar to the other book, I wouldn't say that I  particularly enjoyed this book, but I was slightly intrigued. I also wouldn’t say this this book was as shocking of a plot twist as the first one. The author wrote in the bonus material of the first book that she would rather make a reader angry/upset and throw the book across the room than bore them, which makes so much sense. Although, her book, “genuine fraud” was quite boring. Anyways, I might read any future books in this series out of curiosity but I wouldn’t say that I particularly recommend or enjoy this book very much.
