Finally, many questions answered... and a cliffhanger.

okay i REALLY feel now that the third arc could've been skipped and the events of the last 2 arcs of the series could've just been condensed into a single arc bc the third arc was SO boring and books 13 and 14 have picked up in excitement at least

why do they act like noel could still be turned in and go to jail for having info on ali?? all he did was visit her at the preserve, he didn't help her murder courtney or torment the girls like what exactly could get him in trouble here

aria saying "i'm stronger than that" in response to the idea of suicide like that's a lil rude to ppl who actually have suicidal thoughts girl

colleen was SO NICE like that was the whole thing when hanna was going after her, colleen was always a sweet person even when hanna was mean to her, i do not believe she would write a mean message like that. but also it's weird that these ppl have hanna's contact info when none of them were ever her friends

also no way would the video of the murder be shown to just anyone like sure if it were taken by a citizen who posted it on social media but like it's security footage why are their families and the whole world seeing it

it's not emily's fault jordan got caught like using twitter was just a stupid move on jordan's part lmao, emily is not responsible for her actions (honestly i thought emily was being tricked like the user could've been anyone but i guess not)

how cliche for emily's mom to have a heart attack over this also like i get the video is damning but my god her family is mean especially carolyn skjdfks i especially want emily and spencer to be free of their families tbqh, though i guess melissa is decent to spencer now at least

shouldn't the girls have had lawyers to begin with, especially spencer should've realized that before she told the police anything with her dad (and mom too?) being a lawyer

but also okay they get anonymous tips all at once about what each of the girls have done but don't believe the girls are being threatened with these secrets by A??? who else would've given you those tips. and they think the girls are sending the messages to themselves like if the girls were doing that, they would've known they would be caught in a lie once they asked for help finding out where the messages are coming from lmaoooo it makes no sense

"would this be the last time she would wear a diane von furstenberg dress, gold earrings, and leather boots?" can shepard stop writing hanna like this WHY would she be thinking about material items when she believes she's about to go to prison

"i never loved you" FINALLY ms. fields. i do wish they would acknowledge courtney more like i know their friendship was problematic, but it seems like they hardly get into the fact that their friend was murdered by her own twin, who later tried to murder them MULTIPLE times, like it's all about Real Ali and never about courtney, it's just kinda sad

if the forensics team figured out the video of the girls murdering tabitha was a fake and the video of nick murdering her was real, then why couldn't they have figured out the one of the girls was fake sooner lmao

why does everyone continue to act like iris can be trusted, like she was a dick when hanna was at the preserve, but past that, there's never been indication she's a liar and agent fuji is just like "oh she's not healthy so she must be a liar"???? she has an eating disorder what does that have to do with whether she's trustworthy

this is the SECOND time the girls have been told they mass hallucinated ali like........they were right that ali was there the night of the fire at spencer's, why do you believe they're lying now, you have NO evidence ali is dead, the law enforcement is always so incompetent in this series sdkjfkjs

ali referring it to as "the night courtney died" like girl. you murdered her. call it what it is.

anyway it's been easier to get through the last two books compared to the previous four, so hopefully the last two go well

As usual, Shepard did a fantastic job. However, I would have liked the story to have ended with this one, but, I am looking forward to her fifteenth book.
