I’m back in my Pretty Little Liars era, so I thought it was only fair I give the books a read. I really enjoyed this! It throws you off a bit to begin with if you watched the show first and the characters look very different to how they’re described in the book, but you get used to it eventually and this is a very enjoyable read. I loved the writing, it’s very descriptive and almost poetic at times, and the duel perspectives from each of the girls makes this really interesting. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Did I power through this in a matter of days? Yes. 

It was a pretty fast read compared to my normal speed. I was curious about this book series after remembering that I never really got any satisfaction from the show about A. I'm hoping the books give me that, and beyond that I'm in the mood for some toxic drama. 

If you see this review and are worried about my reading tastes, don't worry, so am I.

(My star rating is purely off of vibes and means nothing)

The best kind of bad. I remember reading this back when I was about twelve to thirteen years old – I was obsessed with the show and wanted to read the books as well – but I ended up abandoning the book series somewhere along the way.

Reading it was very nostalgic, albeit very repetitive at times, since the TV show followed the plot pretty closely. It’s and easy and quick read and it pulls you in, even though it’s not the best written book out there.

I plan on finishing the book series this time.

✓ High School Drama
✓ Best Friend Murdered

˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
I love and hate this series so much.  The nostalgic vibes this book has is far too comforting to just read once.  The mystery of “Alison’s” death is dragged out but in this book things are focused on setting up the world and the gossip of a small town.  Rosewood is a place where the kids act like adults and the adults act like teenagers.

This is the book where everything—for basically everyone—goes downhill.  Relationships are broken and found—both friend wise and romantic, everything is upped in the dramatics taking simple things and making them a big deal.  In a way it’s like a lighthearted mystery; then again it could be just because it’s a nostalgic read, however, it reminds me of a cozy mystery.  It told the backstory, and how Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily all went on to live their lives after their best friend’s disappearance.  But secrets only stay buried for so long and A lives for drama.
