Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard
Four ex-friends and the secrets that bind them together. Throughout the first installment of this very long series of books, Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna have long stopped being friends after their friend Alison disappeared, but they are slowly being brought back together by a mysterious informer that signs off as A and knows too many deep dark secrets about the pretty girls.
The plot of the book was not very detailed, after it was over, I just thought that I knew the characters pretty well and that the entire book was just the audience getting know each of the 4 girls plus Alison’s personalities. This first book of the series does not focus on one character, but all four characters have their own chapter to tell her side of the story. Although there are almost 300 pages to this book, nothing really happens (well except at the very end). The audience just hears about one horrible week in each of the girl’s lives. I enjoyed this book for what it was. I also enjoyed that Shepard talked about how the girls were Allison's little dolls to play with and pose how she saw fit. I loved that discription with the book cover art. It was a very quick read, it was easy and you would have to live under a rock to not know or have heard about Pretty Little Liars, it is part of a series of books written for young adults as well as an abc Family TV show. There was quite a bit of language and semi-adult content for a YA novel. But overall I enjoyed the book and look forward to starting the next one. Pretty Little Liars sets up for the next book very well and I’m looking forward to see how Shepard can continue the series and not piss the audience off with lack of answers and just more questions. There are a lot of books, we’ll see how far I get.
Have you read this series? What did you think about the first book? Let me know what you think, Happy Reading my friends!
