everyone said this book was sad. its not. its more shocking, but an ‘oh thats interesting’, surprising shocking (if that makes sense).

did not expect cady to have killed the liars, thats all

but other than that, i really did enjoy this book. kept me hooked and loved the writing.

This book was a beautiful journey written like poetry. The writing let me enter into the Liars world and I wouldn’t doubt that they are real people in real life as I feel like I know them and I see them. 
I love when a book feels this way. And it has so many moral messages too. It’s a very special read and I’m glad I’ve read it!

No, just, no. Didn’t make sense to me at all. I still can’t figure out what the book was about, really. Sure, some scenes were great, they were well written but the overall plot? Honestly, there was no plot. I didn’t like the way it ended at all and even if it ended the way it did, what happened then? All of it was left unanswered.
I had high hopes from this one.

The twist definitely made this book. I'll admit- I guessed the twist about 20 pages in, but I stuck it out to see if I was wrong. This book was kind of slow, with no real character progression. I'd heard such amazing things so I was a little let down, but it was still an okay book.
