Pretty Little Liars Book Review by Angelina

Pretty Little Liars the first book from the series, by Sara Shepard, is a fictional novel. This novel is about four girls named Hanna Marin, Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hasting, and Emily Fields. Their friend Alison who lives in Rosewood Pennsylvania went missing a couple of summers ago  who lives in Rosewood Pennsylvania. All the girls have very big secrets that no one can know about. During the novel there is an anonymous person who starts texting messages saying that she knows their secrets and black mailing the four girls and she or he names itself “A”.The weird thing is that all the secrets “A” knows about, Alison knew about. The conflict in the novel is between “A” and the four girls.

         In the novels all the girls keep having these small secrets but then they always seem to get bigger and bigger, and sometime the truth comes out. For years the four girls lives were fine but then the “Jenna thing” (Alison made her blind) happened,  Aria’s dad had an affair with another girl (Her mom doesn’t know). Emily starting to see who she really is(While her parents freak out that she is gay).Spencer ruining her sister’s  life by taking her fiancé. [by accident] , etc. (It is a series of books so there isn’t really a conclusion or solution) In the novel some character become really attached but other become detached. The story shows how the girls always stick together and never leave each others side, they stick up for each other, and you can see they have a special relationship.

            The author writes with great detail, she explains everything we should know about the characters from how they look to how they are feeling. In the story it feels like you are in the book because you get into the feelings and it feels like you are four different people at the same time having the bad problems. They way the author wrote this novel, feels like it’s a real story. The author teaches you a good lesson to learn in this book of how not lying is very important and to tell the truth (if it is something really important), she shows how it can lead to anger, family issues, breaking friendships, etc. It is a story of four teenage girls with big secrets who are being stalked by an anonymous texted named “A”. For me the experience of reading this book made me think of not to lie to people and think of the things I’m going to say before I speak
