My March reading experience

March has been such an amazing month! I was lucky enough and the books I’ve chosen to read proved to be entertaining great stories. I feel like this month readings were a really nice experience, quite fluid books.

“Family of Liars” by E. Lockhart

You might already know about the great love and appreciation I hold for “We Were Liars” by E. Lockhart. Hearing about the release of a prequel, there was nothing to stop me from buying a copy of it. There was a heart warmth I got relating to the possibility of reading a different perspective upon the Sinclairs, returning to their story just one more time. No matter how many times I kept rereading “We Were Liars”, I would never get to experience that inner impatience and restlessness for the first time again.

In the end, reading “Family of Liars” felt like going back to a dear place to my heart. The reading proved to be fast-paced and truly eventful. I sensed a quite sharp contrast between the two volumes, contrary to all their numerous similarities. While “We Were Liars” highlighted so well the protagonist’s deepness, the action being mostly presented through suggestive metaphors, “Family of Liars” focused on the course of events. The readers understand Carrie’s personality and thoughts generally right at the end of the volume, while Candice’s character is gradually developed.

It was a fresh version of something familiar, a fact which I really admired. I loved finding again that story essence which got me, and yet getting something new, a fresh angle of their family’s story per total. Read here the review for more details about this book.

I was pleasantly surprised by the turn Carrie’s character took. It was unexpected, harsh and thrilling! It made “Family of Liars” an unforgettable book. I moved through the reading easily and fast, and yet the action didn’t seem rushed. This is what I would call a great book.

“𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥. 𝐈𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭, 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐲. 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲.”

“Family of Liars”

A different generation, but still the same old liars. A Sinclair was always going to be a Sinclair

“King of Wrath” by Ana Huang

This reading was a total surprise! I felt like I was between the “Gossip Girl” characters. The vibe is literally so similar, which was an exciting aspect for me! This book got my attention starting with even its playlist: modern and aesthetic. The beginning, suggesting the ending, made my heart twist! It certainly caught my attention for good!

As an overview, I really enjoyed the general dynamic of the characters and also the circumstances. The characters were travelling a lot, completely randomly, but everything turned to be straight on the subject. So in the end, it was a pleasant reading. I went through it fast-paced, really easily, since it was pretty short itself. Even though it was not necessarily a full 5 star book, I enjoyed it and decided to consider it a pretty successful reading experience. Read here the review for more details about this book (it is going to be posted here on the 7th of April)

“𝐎𝐧𝐞, 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜é. 𝐓𝐰𝐨, 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐫.”

“King of Wrath”, Ana Huang

This quote is simply astonishing. It’s meaningful for the story and, for sure, suspense building! We all love an eventful unexpected hate-love relationship between the protagonists! 🙂
