I agree with a lot of the 1-3 star reviews. Things have gotten old and very predictable. Spencer likes someone she probably shouldn't.✔️ Hanna is obsessed with being popular ALL THE TIME!✔️ Emily falls for the first cute person (boy or girl) that gives her a compliment.✔️ Aria is the most grounded, but still misjudges people and carries around an excessive amount of guilt for something that was self-defense.✔️
None of this story line was in the show and I'm annoyed with it, but since none of this was in the show I HAVE to keep reading to see if A ends up being the same person or not.

I loved the setting being on a cruise ship. The thing that annoyed me the most though was what happened with Emily and Issac? How did he handle finding out the news? Too many questions with these two that just felt completely forgotten by Shepard.
Yes! I am obsessed with these books and in this one Shepard is doing an excellent job by changing and twisting everything around! I don't know what's going on any more ... but can't wait to get to the last book.

So close yet so far from who is A. It’s crazy how many people could be and yet aren’t A, crazier that the girls STILL manage to hurt more people because of it (sadly). Im hoping either Aria or Hanna finally breaks and tells their boyfriend, but i guess its too dangerous (is it?). I have my theory of who A is finally, and I believe we won’t get rid of them that easily…I was exited to see the girls in PR just after my own trip there. On to the next!
I blew through this book just like all of the others in the series. And it was just as great as all the others and I can't wait to read the next installment. I was hoping that this was going to be the last in the series though. Even though I love the ladies from Rosewood, I think it is time for the author to move on.
Honestly, I found this book disappointing. This was supposed to be the last book in the PLL series, and we were going to find out who A is. First problem with this series is that Sara Shepard should have stopped at the eighth book. But she wants to make money, so she continues writing these 'books.'
Now let me say, I am a fan of Pretty Little Liars. I've read all 12 books and the little spin offs, like Pretty Little Secrets. I watch the tv show avidly. I await the next book release with anticipation. However, I think that the era of PLL is over, at least for the books.
The eighth book in the series, [b:Wanted|3047851|Wanted (Pretty Little Liars, #8)|Sara Shepard|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1325823986s/3047851.jpg|3078642], revealed a whole complicated thing involving twins killing each other, that I'm not going to mention in detail. Then, for whatever reason, Sara Shepard, in all over brilliance thought, "hey, I should write more!" So she did, and that was the series that started with [b:Stunning|9893355|Stunning (Pretty Little Liars, #11)|Sara Shepard|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320516289s/9893355.jpg|14785462]. That book was decent, but not as great as the first four.
Now Shepard has completely killed her series by making it way too complicated. Three, maybe even 4 "A"s? Tabitha might have known Ali or Courtney? Jeremy is kind of a suspicious guy? We still don't know who A is, and I feel like the girls just get further away from the actual A in every book. They thought Kelsey was A, but she wasn't. If they simply told the police, maybe they could get help and figure out who A is. The girls' problem is that they are so stupid, even Spencer, that they don't tell anyone anything, ever. They just keep doing bad things until eventually it will all come crashing down on them. I will look forward to that moment, because I don't even like the characters anymore, with the exceptions of Reefer, Emily, A, and Ali.
Pretty Little Liars is finished; its fans know it, but the author does not.
