Who would want to read a book with a doll on the cover? I mean, isnt that for like middle graders? WRONG. Pretty Little Liars might start off with the characters in their middle grade years, but before long, theyve already bloomed into full fledged high school students with personalities of their own.

Hanna, Spencer, Aria and Emily were all nobodys, till Allison found them. Together, they built a friendship, but it was all based on secrets. The only secret the girls didnt realize was, Allison was the only reason they had become friends in the first place. She was their glue, the only thing holding the girls together. Without her, those girls had nothing in common, well maybe just one thing. So what happens without Ali in their lives? Exactly, they all go their separate routes.

Hanna is the schools tease. After losing all that weight, she and Mona have become the best of friends. Emily paid more attention to swimming. She now hangs out with the swim team, and her boyfriend, who just so happens to also be on the swim team. Spencer is still the best at everything and her sisters boyfriends continue to flirt with her. Aria, the unique one of the group, has just returned and is even more unique. Her and her family had moved out of the country for two years. Each girl was finally able to find a place in the world, no longer in Alis shadow, so what more do they have in common? Could it be those random texts theyve been getting from A? But who is A, no one knows. We only know who we think it might be? It couldnt be Alison though could it? I mean shes gone, right? Whoever A is, shes definitely someone who clearly knows all the girls secrets.

The plot is very intriguing and it just keeps the reader wanting more. After reading this book, you are left with an abundance of questions that you cant wait till you get your hands on its sequel [FLAWLESS]. What really happened with Jenna? Is A really Allisons ghost? Will the friends reunite or go back their separate ways? Pretty Little Liars is a perfect example of a cliffhanger ending, and I loved every minute of it. I would recommend it to fans/readers or Gossip Girls, the A List, and just any YA reader in general. Its a book to die for. I just love how it ended.
