Once you start reading, you can't stop. I stayed up till 3 am finishing this book and there's not enough words to describe how good it is.
About family secrets, so it interesting but nothing really holding you on the edge of your seat. Love the first book “We Were Liars”
I enjoyed this book like i enjoyed, we are liars. It talked about real stuff and honestly showed that people are who they are and the bad guy is an actual bad guy and that was honestly nice. Most the time the bad guy has a good heart in these books but that wasn’t the case. I like how she writes, endings are always really good in my opinion.
i really liked this book! it touches some triggering topics, but overall i really liked this book. it has 298 pages. the main character is carrie. johnny asks her one night, “what was the worst thing you did back then?” and it is telling the story of carrie’s teenage life, mistakes she made, and how she overcame them. i love the we were liars series, although they have made me cry haha.
