{my thoughts} - I wasn’t disappointed in this book. It led to new discoveries and information that I hadn’t been expecting. It is a good read and well worth the time. This book took me three days to read because I had gotten completely wrapped up in wanting know what was going to happen next.
I was surprised to read that Aria’s father was going to marry the girl he had the fling with and that they were having a baby – completely threw me off guard — It also surprised me to read that Jenna was in on the “Jenna thing” which not only shocked me but appalled me – Seemed that the deal she made with Ali had cost them both something – Jenna her eye sight and eventually Ali’s life….
At the end of the book I remember thinking OMGosh that can’t be true when I read that A was Mona and that Mona had gotten all her information from a diary that Alison had kept and was thrown to the curb when Maya had moved into the house and they cleaned out the room. And then Mona took Spencer with her after the Foxy to go and tell the Cops who A was and instead took her to a Quarry where she tried to kill Spencer – but Mona ended up falling of the cliff instead and died instantly as she had snapped her neck. I couldn’t believe that she was A and that she had been doing all that stuff to them girls – but it made sense because she was always treated like crap by them and then her and Hanna became friends when Ali went missing but it all seemed to be a complete joke to her because all she wanted to do was seek revenge against the girls and eventually that is just what she did – she got revenge but killed herself in the process – but look at the bright side now A is gone…. or are they …. ???
{reason for reading} - I watch the show.

While I really enjoy this series I feel like it would be a disservice to other - better - books to rate it more than 3 stars? I don't know. I really do like it though!

What a finale to the first arc! Obviously I knew most of these "twists" were coming because of the show (though it did take longer there for them to unfold), but they're still really good, and there were some surprises too.
I still stand with Spencer as my favorite girl, though I wasn't as engaged with the Golden Orchid storyline, or honestly most of the girls' subplots in this, hence why my rating is lower. They just weren't as juicy or exciting for me. I did like stress building from Hanna's atrack, how everyone was worried about being next, plus this is the first time that they're all being more friendly and honest with each other, which took too long in my opinion, should've happened in book two.
Emily's plot was probably the most frustrating though. I love how her parents finally accept her, but the way she behaved towards Maya was absolutely awful for no reason. Who confesses their love, then the next day flirts and has an almost date with someone else??
I am interested in continuing the series, but I'm definitely gonna need a break from these girls and their drama lmao.
