Beautiful lyrical prose, as is expected of E. Lockhart, and a wonderful prequel to WE WERE LIARS. Always interesting learning about the previous generation, and the characterisation was masterful. The twists were phenomenal. Complete shockers that I did not see coming. Unreliable narrators (like mother like daughter!), delightful imagery, and a book that speaks so many truths, particularly for the #MeToo movement.
Although this review is short (I’m currently not that well!) this book is an instant favourite.
