funny enough i do think toby is a much better character in the books - i find it interesting that the show chose to make him a love interest and chose to villainize Jenna instead.
I like that so much time has passed that the girls have to relearn how they fit into each other’s lives. Makes for a more interesting story.

Flawless picks up right where Pretty Little Liars left us. It doesn't miss a beat getting back into the suspense and mystery. In this book Hanna, Emily, Spencer, and Aria are a bit humbled. They know someone knows all their deepest darkest secrets and they are trying to be better people because of it. That doesn't always work..
I'm really enjoying this series! Sara Shepard has created some very flawed and realistic characters. Characters that you still want to root for even though they have made some horrible decisions. I really want all of them to defeat 'A'. But they definitely have some issues of their own to overcome first.
Overall, I think this is a awesome series. It's not often that I finish a book and want to start reading the next right away. I wanted to with this book. I didn't do it, but I wanted to! Definitely recommend!

I think i may have enjoyed this book even more than the first! Now that this series has pretty much strayed away from the tv show plot, it’s a lot easier to get invested in the story without picturing the on screen characters, and it’s a thoroughly enjoyable read!
Toby’s death shocked me slightly, I expected him to be a bigger part of the story and Emily’s character development, but then again his s*icide makes sense for his story and character, his past actions clearly troubled him too much to think of another way out.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Aria’s family dynamic changes now her mum knows about her dad’s affair. I’m curious whether they’ll try to make it work like they did in the show, or if it’s completely over.
I’ve been spoiled that Spencer does end up with Wren at the end of the series, so i’m curious to see how their relationship plays out after this book, as if seems he’s not all that trustworthy of a partner.
I’m hoping Hanna gets some character growth in the next book and it shows more of her realising she’s fine without Sean and her ‘popular’ lifestyle
All in all this was a great read!
