I think i may have enjoyed this book even more than the first! Now that this series has pretty much strayed away from the tv show plot, it’s a lot easier to get invested in the story without picturing the on screen characters, and it’s a thoroughly enjoyable read! 

Toby’s death shocked me slightly, I expected him to be a bigger part of the story and Emily’s character development, but then again his s*icide  makes sense for his story and character, his past actions clearly troubled him too much to think of another way out. 

I’m looking forward to seeing how Aria’s family dynamic changes now her mum knows about her dad’s affair. I’m curious whether they’ll try to make it work like they did in the show, or if it’s completely over. 

I’ve been spoiled that Spencer does end up with Wren at the end of the series, so i’m curious to see how their relationship plays out after this book, as if seems he’s not all that trustworthy of a partner.

I’m hoping Hanna gets some character growth in the next book and it shows more of her realising she’s fine without Sean and her ‘popular’ lifestyle

All in all this was a great read!
