THAT PLOT TWIST THOUGH!

I may have shed a tear or two reading this book. Cady, the narrator of the novel, take us on a journey to recover her fragmented memories after a tragic accident with the help of the Liars. It is a story of friendship, love, anger, desperation, forgiveness, delusion, and LIES.

Here are my favorite moments from the book without context:

The Liars swim out, past the edge of the cove and into the open ocean. The sun is high in the sky and glints off the water, so bright, so bright. And then they dive— or something— or something— and they are gone.

"the mark of tragedy became, with time, a mark of glamour. A mark of mystery, and a source of fascination for those who viewed the family from afar."
