Pretty Little Liars REVIEW
Book was bought and summary came from Goodreads.
Everyone has something to hide—especially high school juniors Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna. Spencer covets her sister's boyfriend. Aria's fantasizing about her English teacher. Emily's crushing on the new girl at school. Hanna uses some ugly tricks to stay beautiful. But they've all kept an even bigger secret since their friend Alison vanished. How do I know? Because I know everything about the bad girls they were, the naughty girls they are, and all the dirty secrets they've kept. And guess what? I'm telling.- A
Cover love -- Nice, but a little creepy and misleading. It makes me think that this book is like The Clique; pretty, interesting, but all about boys, sex, makeup, drama, and did I mention boys? NOT my kind of book. I judged this book by its cover before; I regret doing so. It's nothing like those Clique books; it's rather interesting if I should say.
Ever since I read the summary on Goodreads, I wanted this book so bad. When I got the chance to buy it, I bought it with no doubts. What to say about this book? This book was like a drug; once I started, I couldn't stop.
The writing, the plot, and the characters were amazingly well-done. The writing was good, no grammar mistakes and it flowed quite nicely. The plot was extremely suspenseful and unpredictable; at night when I'd read this, I'd be a bit scared thinking someone like A is watching my every move. The main characters were real female dogs that you would see in the average lives of us people. Though I'm pretty sure you can't waltz into a bar underage like in this book, these girls were alive; Sara's writing had breathed life into them.
I've already read Flawless (review coming soon) and I really want to read Perfect. Thing is that My local bookstore has all the PLL books except Perfect. What's up with that?
The bottom line: If you're into suspense, mystery, and drama, this book is for you! Warning -- It does contain situations that are aimed towards the age of 14+.
Rating: 5+ Hearts!

I wasn't sure about this book....the cover made me think it was kind of different. I liked your review :), so maybe I'll read it
Awesome review! I love this series...it's such a guilty pleasure! :P
These sound like fun. I wasn't to sure about them as well but I think I may look into them now. This series is being turned into a TV show. I think it premiers this summer on ABC Family.
I agree...the cover is kinda creepy. But I am glad its misleading(as you say);really interested in reading it :)
Such a great book! This is the only one I've read, but I definately want to read more. :]
I love this series! I've read all of them except the most recent two, which I've been wanting to get. And I agree with you - it seems like a shallow, girly girl book until you actually read it.

Brilliant review! I wasn't really sure about this one because of the cover, tbh...it just didn't appeal to me. Perhaps now I'll give it a chance :)
