I am still loving this series, aw it's so good. I'm gonna read other books in between though, so one pll book then one other book just because the series is so long and I don't want to tire of it or not read other things because of it.

In the middle of a re-read and this, for me, is the weakest thus far. Feels like a whisy-washy attempt at building towards what the plot for this next arc is going to be and dropping some of the more interesting character explorations for less interesting things to give New A something to report on. Like Emily struggles with grappling the end of Ali yet it's nearly all forgotten once Isaac enters the picture, and while Hanna's grief for Mona is more prominent and well done, I wish there was more. The adults still primarily suck--feels like there wasn't a lot of an idea for Aria so the plot rehashed Erza in a different way. My biggest issue was feeling like I kept re-reading the same thing over and over again. The same scene with Ali is repeated like a dozen times--more repetitive than any of the flashbacks in the previous books. Although it wasn't a fav, I managed to finish it rather quickly and found myself invested in multiple parts. As someone who already remembers a lot of the ending to this arc, it feels almost too obvious where it's heading and with Ian. Here's to hoping the next is better. And please, can some of these parents/adults start to get better?

This book brought the series back, the fourth book was my least favorite and I think this one did a good job at trying to get it back to where it original was. I finished it in about a day, so I hope to be done with the series in the next week.

The problem I had with this book was that Hanna thew up way to much, and it was what everything looked like; also A LOT of product name dropping. Other than that it wasn't the best out of the series, but it's pretty good!
