I’m hoping now that Spencer suspects she may have something to do with Ali’s death that her storyline will be more interesting to me, as right now I’m not all that invested in what’s happening with her, which is a shame because her character has a lot of potential!

The homophobia throughout the book is disturbing. I think if I didn't watch the show I don't think I would be able to continue the series. I will say that this book was definitely a product of its time. I wonder if Sara's books write like this in 2022.
