Finally! 14 out of 16 finished. Only 2 to go. I'm getting closer and closer to the end, and I can't wait to finish this series.
I have to admit that parts of the book were intriguing to me. It was just nice that there were finally some consequences for the girls and their actions. But I can't fully enjoy the book because there are just too many coincidences and the girls are too lucky sometimes. It becomes too unrealistic.
I also hate that thing that often happens in movies, series, books, etc. where the heroes have found the villain and then the villain reveals everything. Especially when it's obvious what happened. We get it. He was the (co-)villain all along.
"If you don't like the books, why do you keep reading them?" Mind your own business! I can't help but finish the series. I want to know how it ends, even if I'm disappointed.

˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
Things go from bad to worse. This whole book is so frustrating to read. “A” always being several steps ahead, the detectives being useless at their jobs, Emily’s family constantly blaming her for everything bad, and no one believing that Alison is still alive are just a few things I’ve wanted to throw this book across the room for.
Having said that the plot was actually a lot better in my re-read. Mike and Noel at least being there and believing everything that’s happening is real was so nice to read even if it didn’t go super well. Also why does it feel like Hanna’s mom is the only one who actually cares for her kid? Like the other parents are so shitty to their kids, some being downright cruel time and time again.
