I definitely enjoy all of the PLL books, but honestly I just want it to end already.
This book picks up right where the previous one left off. All of the stories continue, A is still at his/her antics. The PLLs strike up new theories on who A is and how to take him/her down, but ultimately A still looms over them.
As much as I love reading this series and I don't want it to end because it is such a dependable time waster, I just want this A stuff to be wrapped up. There must be some other scheme Shepard can finagle as opposed to the same old A shenanigans.

I really think this series should've stopped after book 8, because these characters ended up so stupid I can't even handle it. After everything they've gone through, they just keep going with the lies! Just admit the truth, go to jail... A can't get to you there, and honesty A has no way to mess with you if the truth's out! I loved the secret twin plot of books 4-8, so unless this A turns out to be one of the Liars, I don't see it measuring up. I hate to say it, because I always usually love books more, but the show is so much better than this latest cycle.

At this point I'm just frustrated and amazed at how Hanna, Aria, Spencer and Emily always manage to have dangerous and life-turning secrets, they don't even need A to do anything, they're making their own lives complicated and messed up. Don't they learn from their past experiences?!

So in this novel we follow are four little liars as they still cause trouble. Stunning mainly follows Emily's emotional ride on thinking the baby she put up for adoption is in danger. But there is bit of scandal that went on with the adoption.
Past: (Events that followed the disastrous Jamaica trip.)
Gayle, Emily's friends Derrick's employer (When she hid in Philly cause she was preggo) Becomes obsessed with Emily, being that she is pregnant. Gayle not so long before that lost a daughter of her own, and has been trying to conceive with no luck. She pays a large sum of money for Emily's baby. But Emily has already chosen a family to adopt her baby. Emily goes through with Gale but then second guesses it as Gayle becomes obsessed.
Present:
Now, as A still taunts the girls, Gayle does as well. But though the story's main focus is Emily, each girl still has their own scandals.
Emily: Her little bundle of joy is in danger and she does everything to try to stop it. But then in the process Isaac reappears. (Her baby daddy) Will her dirty laundry be aired?
Spencer: Still trying to get into Princeton and become part of the "Eating Club" Spencer sucks up to some of the girls that go there. But as she finally thinks she has a chance, one of the girls gets busted with pot and Spencer is blamed. Eager for forgiveness Spencer attends A "Potluck" but she may be misinterpreted the meaning of "Potluck".
Hannah: Poor Hannah,as sick as a love sick puppy can be. Still not over he break up with Mike. As she sees him with a knew girl she is eager to get him back. But what lengths is she willing to go to win him back? She turns into quite the A herself.
Aria: Still in her loving relationship with Noel she sees something that she may not have wanted to see. But that secret may as well destroy to whole Kahn family, as well as he relationship with Noel.
In all Mrs. Shepard managed to shock as all again. I was sad and excited as this series comes to a close to see who A is.

These books are getting so ridiculous, and yet I can't stop reading them. I guess I figure I've already read eleven of them, why not finish the series? Anyway, the Liars are getting stupider and stupider. Throughout every book they "know" A is one person and it always turns out that we just have to read the next book to find out how A really is. And the way the rationalize things is annoying. And there's always the fact that they never tell the police that someone is threatening them, setting them up, and trying to get them killed. Makes sense.
I like the books but now it's just getting old.
