Lots of problems start for Hanna, Emily, Aria, and Spencer along with “A” being more involved in their lives.  It’s kinda funny to see how different the books and TV show are, re-reading these books really makes me see those little differences a lot more.  This is a nice fast-paced mystery with problematic characters who no matter what always make the wrong decisions—yet it keeps my interest enough for me to read it again.
