"The audio was such great casting bringing the character to life. however, I kept waiting for a big drop like it’s sequel that never came. Sadly by the end I started to get board and somewhat lost."

"I’m mixed about this one. Had a slower start and some decent character development, but I definitely was expecting more of a twist to happen since We Were Liars had such a brilliantly done one.
I do like that this book can be treated as both a prequel and sequel depending on how you look at it. Might just do that to get a refresher on how everything connects."

"I really liked this book! I did not expect things to go how it did! I did not expect the twists! It made me sad and it made me hurt for little girl Carrie. Everyone was just grieving in their own way and her development really showed in this book!"

"I was a little disappointed with this book, to be honest. I really thought it was going to be a sensational prequel to We Were Liars, but when compared with each other, it was just no match. Overall, it was a good book; it was just a little overhyped for me."

"it was good. I enjoyed it but it wasn’t as good as the first one. i wouldn’t say it was predictable but the big twist wasn’t very shocking or exciting. i was just expecting something to happen, unlike the first one which had a crazy twist and was really entertaining. so yeah a bit disappointing but still pretty good. I didn’t really see it as a prequel, more of just another story in that universe. maybe it’s because I read the first one a year ago lol. but i don’t agree with people saying it like gave insight or whatever. we barely knew anything about Carrie from the first book so it didn’t explain much or anything. so I think it’s could’ve tied in better. ⭐️3.5/5⭐️"

"I honestly liked this book more than We Were Liars because the first book was confusing and made me feel like I had to reread everything when I came to the end. This book was straightforward and SUCH a great summer read!! I absolutely love the setting (private family owned island) and rich lifestyle. I feel like Rosemary coming back as a ghost was a bit too repetitive but overall, a nice read. 4/5 ⭐️ "
