For the most part the plot made sense, I enjoyed references from previous iterations, and felt like it was a fun ride. As a whole, this story felt better contrived than most of the others in the series. I truly enjoyed where Sara has visualized her leading ladies. Early in I was fully invested in a surprising way. Genuinely this story is a good one-sit read if you are willing to kill some time.

I enjoyed seeing the adult girls and their current lies.I mean, lives. The Liars was a fun, fourth wall breaking, grave re-dug story.

Most all the Liars books are two stars from me.ASIDE- from two, Ali's Pretty Little Secrets and the latest addition The Liars. Thanks to this series forever wasting a few days of my mortal life- I am plan to be murderously brutal. 'The one with green or black cover' is probably not what Sara was going for when attempting to make these memorable, but who am I to judge when I am the Melissa Mask clown that continued to come again.and again.like the many iterations of Alison DiLaurentis. If you need some aesthetic appeal to a shelf, these books can at least manage to do a base level job. I then enjoyed the green one with the pink ribbon a few weeks later.and there was one black cover one that was aesthetically interesting after the numerous neon volumes. Book 1 is fun because it sets up the plot. Yes, I took time out of my days on the earth for all 17 of these pretty badly written novels. Over the years I have somehow indulged in every ridiculous Pretty Little Liars book Sara Shepard has released (aside from Alison's Diary and some other Kingdom Hearts bullshit 4.5 book). Highlight those Lolita clues, because A is back and killing for secrets.Ĭlearly I am a glutton for punishment. Suddenly, nothing is safe in Rosewood.Get out your Jungle Red Lipstick. But if Alison isn't 'A,' who is? And how could anyone else know so much about the bad girls they were and the bad girls they've become? Suddenly, their secrets-the big ones, the little ones, even the long-buried ones-no longer seem so secret. Then the girls start receiving threatening messages signed by someone named 'A.' Could 'A' be Alison, the ultra-popular girl who disappeared three years earlier? Alison was their best friend. Deeper and darker still is a horrible secret the girls have shared since sixth grade-a secret they thought was safe forever. And Hanna is using some ugly tricks to stay beautiful. Emily is infatuated with the new girl at school. Aria is having an affair with her English teacher. Spencer covets her sister's gorgeous new boyfriend. Behind their big Gucci sunglasses, beneath their perfectly pressed Polos, everyone has something to hide, especially high school juniors Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna. Gossip thrives amid the Mercedes-Benzes, mega mansions, and perfectly manicured hedges in the exclusive town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania.
