I liked this one, it was interesting to get inside the mind of "Alison" leading up to her death. I do wish that the pace was a bit faster though or something I felt like there were some bits that dragged. Maybe it was just that they were trying to cram so much into the one book.
I am still left with a few unanswered questions though, so ideally I would like one more novel all about when "Courtney" escaped the Preserve and tortured the girls. Just because I want to know more about her mindset. But alas, after 18 books we are officially finished with the PLL series. It's been a journey but I'm proud of myself for making it to the end.

This is my favorite book out of the series. It has plot twists, drama (obviously, this series thrives off of it), low key problematic characters, and the set up for the much bigger plot.
This book was how everything started. How things changed so quickly and then changed again just as quickly in the end. Reading in Ali’s (technically Courtney’s) POV was also my favorite. Her character is complex and being able to see her actions and then her thought process makes things much more interesting.
