Wow. Just WOW. I loved it much more than I thought. Maybe more than the 1st one. An eye for an eye. A son for a son. Carrie killed Pfeff, causing his mother and father to lose their first born. And years later, she suffered from the same fate. I didn’t expect the twist but I spoiled it for myself anyway, it was surprisingly not shocking. She did say she was a liar. Bro and Penny. Ugh, forcing herself to be straight. Wow. The book was heartbreaking, especially considering the people they become. Which isn’t too great, but it makes sense now why they are the way they are. BRO THE DAD HELPED THEM COVER UP THE MURDER. HE TOOK THE BOARD. Ugh Carrie is also an unreliable narrator just like Candace was. Fuck bro. And don’t get me started on Rosemary.She saw her for 5 summers. Her baby sister that drowned. Ugh. I wish penny could be out. I just want people to be happy in this book, but literally no one is ever.
