Heartless by Sara Shepard

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

It took a little while for each story arc to pay off, but in the end it may have the most intense and insightful ending of the PLL books to date. Throughout the first part, I was most interested in Emily's storyline as she was following A's directions and heading out to Amish Country. Aria's arc, while makes sense for her character, was my least favorite this time as she questioned if Ali was a ghost. Hannah was sequestered away much of the time at the facility and was majorly focused on her own personal struggles. Spencer's storyline, which I often find myself drawn to, picked up heavily as the book hit midway and reached a satisfying conclusion. Just when I thought one reveal at the police station would be the cliffhanger, another more tragic occurred. Heartless, while slow to start, weaved its way to an ending that more than made up for the wait.
