Loved it so much, I read this book once a year because its so good. Highly recommend it!!


[2023]
Once again totally loved it and had to read it again this year because I love this fairy tale so much. Definitely would read it again or listen to the audiobook instead because this has potential

Alright, so basically what I thought was „how bad could it be?“

Well, the book wasn't a good one and it was kinda hard to the end to finish it.
I think the whole „A“ thing is more complicated in the books then it is in the series.
I don't like how Sara Shepard pretends that they gonna catch that killer but „oh hey guess what? I have 16 books for you to read before I tell you who the killer really is!“

At the start the book is about Toby Cavanaugh, who stalked the girls one night - the night Ali blinded Jenna Cavanaugh. That‘s the first thing I didn't understand. If you follow the exact words in the book, Ali went out for lightning the firework and basically blinding Jenna totally at her own, but later all the girls are guilty?

The next thing I did not really understand was why was Emily thinking that Toby was cute but at the same time she was afraid of him? That doesn't make any sense at all and it's just a stupid „I want to fill some pages“ thing of Sara Shepard.

Next we have Aria, she‘s basically trying to keep her family at one place but Meredith is making it hard and in the end her father is thrown out by her mother Ella. And he loves to meredith, like how bad could it get now for aria?

Spencer used a essay of her sister for a competition because A told her so, still she‘s with Wren her sisters ex boyfriend and her parents declined all her credit cards and she's not welcome anymore in her family after the thing with Wren? What is that? Yeah parents could be mad at you for all the things Spencer did, but what they do is just not it?

And Hanna? I don't get along with her character in this book series and I still don't get why she should be a bad person. Like all she has to deal with is a break up with her boyfriend, a wrecked car and some stolen shoes and other stuff, a mother not caring enough, a father marrying a other woman with daughter and working in a burnt clinic. She has to deal with most of the bad things in here not like the others.

Well, this is just not making sense for me and I still don't know why I read this series and still go to the third book but we will see.

I think that the series is much better (I really like the series) but the books are not it.
The characters are so different from the tv series that you can't really get along with em.
Also the fact that every little detail is written down like in 100 other sites, always just the same thing.

I really wanted to not finish the book but I had the audiobook around so I listened to it better than reading the book, because that would need much more time I wanted to spend with this book.

Now I‘m reading the third book/listen to the audiobook and I hope that the next one will be better.
I stick to my goal of reading all 16 books since I want to see how different they are from the tv series but I don't think I will ever write a good review about them since they‘re not that good and I don't like Sara Shepards writing style.

You better go watch the series and don't stick around the books, they just consuming your time that‘s it

16 months - 16 books

I´m finally done reading all of the Pretty Little Liars books when it comes to the main series.

I´m glad I'm done with it, since there were some books that weren't that good and pretty hard to finish, but after finishing all of them, I'm glad that there's an end to this story and everyone is safe now or behind bars.

The ending could have been different from what Sara Shepard wrote here, but it's totally fine to me that she wrote this instead.

Now, all I have to do is read two more books, the stand-alone and in-between ones and listen to the audiobook by audible to be really be done with this series.

Would I read it again?
Sure, why not. It´s a cool series and as you can see it took me pretty long to read it. Reading only one book per months makes it happen that you can enjoy the series longer than it would usually take.

Would I recommend it?
Yes, totally! For fans of the Tv series and everyone who's curious, read it!

Alright,
So far this is my favourite book of this series still 10 to go but I really liked how this book was.

I think that the fact that Spencer is adopted and met her mother Olivia was something too good to be true that I missed in the last books.

Totally have to read book 7 after finishing the current books I read

Re-reading this book because last time I dod not finish it.

I don't really have any high hopes for this because the last time I tried to read this book and its full series, I did not finish the first one because the story wasn't gripping. However, I'm giving it a second chance maybe I will like it now:)
