It was a pretty fast read compared to my normal speed. I was curious about this book series after remembering that I never really got any satisfaction from the show about A. I'm hoping the books give me that, and beyond that I'm in the mood for some toxic drama.
If you see this review and are worried about my reading tastes, don't worry, so am I.
(My star rating is purely off of vibes and means nothing)

Minor: Self harm and Sexual content
The book is pretty much about how horrible young teens can be to each other, and there are some pretty crappy adults thrown in as well. The writing didn't feel as if it was showing these themes to be a good thing and it felt like it was highlighting how messed up it all is. While also dealing with heavy themes with the main characters, thr writing built in a lot of empathy for the main 4. I especially felt for Hanna and Emily.violet03's review against another edition

Reading it was very nostalgic, albeit very repetitive at times, since the TV show followed the plot pretty closely. It’s and easy and quick read and it pulls you in, even though it’s not the best written book out there.
I plan on finishing the book series this time.
