briana84 's review for:

Vicious by Sara Shepard
3.0

That was a somewhat satisfying end to the series, though I do have some complaints (of course!) The number one complaint is Allison's entire story felt completely ripped off from Gone Girl. I even checked and Gone Girl was published first. That's a little sketchy. I also found the whole Hanna and Mike get married in a huge elaborate wedding to be really cheesy. I find it hard to believe that so many people would want to come to the wedding given that she was on trial for murder and they took all this time to establish that they were social pariahs and all that stuff. Aria even being able to make it out of the country was incredibly hard to believe as well and that Noel would be able to find her so easily and that of course as soon as they get into a fight that's when they get picked up it was all just a little much. I also still find Emily's Jordan Obsession (the fact that she was mentioned at the end was super annoying) just so over-the-top. She literally knew the girl for like less than a week, and she's the love of her. So stupid. I did however like the fact that Emily was the one to save the day. That was kind of cool. Oh, and of course, it wouldn't be a Pretty Little Liars book without terrible, terrible parents. I mean, seriously, Spencer's mom can go to hell. I am glad that the series is finally over, but I have to say that I prefer the show a million times more.
