I loved this spooky, and mysterious theme. It was like the book had ended, but it was just the beginning to a whole new story. I was left feeling satisfied, yet unsatisfied. I could relate to the story so much with the main characters' problems. But, there's so much more than that to the story. It just seemed like a book about 4 rich and preppy girls trying to hide a secret. I had to admit that I had my doubts about this book. If you're interested in YA mysteries this could be a good read for you.Īfter reading "Pretty Little Liars" by Sara Shepard, I was shocked. For a short read, this was enjoyable, however I feel like it went too slowly and was too short.įans of contemporary YA novels will like this.
I can say, though, that the big reveal and 'A's message at the end definitely sets up some interesting ideas for the next book.
It actually seemed almost like an extended beginning of a book, like a really long introduction. I was hoping for more thrills and more close calls, but this book didn't really deliver on that expectation. Even the description of 'A's texts were disappointing. There were smaller things, with personal tensions and a few more major incidents, but nothing too exciting or mysterious. I understand that it's a series, but there wasn't a whole lot of action really going on throughout the book. However, I can't help but to think that this book seems almost unfinished. While in third person, the narration of some of their thoughts gave a great insight into how they were dealing with their various issues and where the story would go next. The thing that I liked the most about this book is the way that the chapters tell the stories of each of the four girls separately, yet describes the ways that they are still tied together. And this 'A' knows about some of their most personal secrets, secrets that only Alison knew. They begin to receive texts from someone who calls themself 'A'. The girls have drifted apart, Hanna shoplifts, Spencer is an over-achiever and Emily is struggling with her relationship. Now, several years later, in their junior year of high school, Aria returns from Iceland where her father moved their family right after Alison's disappearance. Aria, Emily, Spencer, and Hanna are four girls with one thing in common - they were all friends with Alison DiLaurentis, who went missing.
