REASON FOR READING: 

Well come on everyone needs a secret pleasure that is guilty and shame ridden…

SUMMARY (from Goodreads):

It’s been a year since the torturous notes from A stopped and the mystery of Alison DiLaurentis’s disappearance was finally put to rest. Now seniors in high school, Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily are older, but they’re not any wiser. The pretty little liars have more secrets than ever - twisted secrets that could destroy the perfect lives they’ve worked so hard to rebuild. 

Aria’s jealous of her boyfriend’s new exchange student. Spencer’s getting a little too cozy with her soon-to-be-stepbrother. Hanna’s one scandalous photo away from ruining her dad’s Senate campaign. And Emily will do anything to get a swim scholarship. 

Worst of all: Last spring break in Jamaica, they did something unforgivable. The girls are desperate to forget that fateful night, but they should know better than anyone that all secrets wash ashore... eventually.

THOUGHTS/OPINION:

Okay I have to admit I thought what the hell seriously there is no way that 1. She can continue this story I mean after the way she ended the last one and 2. Where could she possibly go from here after all the secrets died with A right?! But then here comes book 9 and I’m like HOLY CRAP are you kidding me? How much more can these girls take and is this really necessary and why in God’s name am I still reading them like they are my cotton candy guilty pleasure. Yet I managed to read all of this in one freaking setting staying up til 2.

THE PROBLEMS:

I have no idea where they are going to go with this. Eventually everyone will be A I think.

How much more can the girls take?

They are separated and not friends during half of the books which sucks b/c I like it better when they are together and sharing secrets.

New characters LORD save me I have enough people to remember please stop adding in more and more people.

My God when will these girls get smart and stop following for stupid idiotic things considering everything they have been through you would think they would think things out a little bit more before rushing in head first again to the same shit over and over. Yet there they go. Oh a photographer that seems shady and comes out of nowhere right when your dad is running for Senate yep don’t mind if I do lock myself in his room?!

Stealing money sure why not

Trying to out seduce the Finnish exchange student? Really? Come on…

THE WINS

We still have the girls who have survived the worse of the worse and still make enough mistakes with just enough secrets that you stayed glued to the page.

The girls are all alone which makes it easy pickings for the new A

And let’s not forget there is a new A someone new who knows all the old secrets plus some brand spanking new ones!

Also I am dying to know who is going to die

I am also wanting to know how are they going to figure out this A. Plus come on the secrets are juicier now. Spencer did something naughty to get into her top school. Aria is being forced out of the Khan relationship by an exchange student. Emily was PREGANT OMG jeez seriously and Hanna oh Hanna dear me she’s not going to get out of this one.

Are you keeping it or passing it on? Library book passing on it (have determined that I only read them once so no reason to buy them)

Goodreads grade: 3 out of 5 stars

Would you recommend this book? Yes if you are a fan of the series already.
