Remember when Mandy talked about Pretty Little Liars (the TV Show) and her big problem with it was the younger girls sleeping with older guys? I'm happy to report that the new book in the series (the tenth!!!) actually deals with those issues, head on!
In the beginning of the book, our four "Liars" are on speaking terms but not as close as they used to be. Each girl, like always, has a story of her own but the gift this time is that two of the stories end up intertwining and changing the direction of the series. I won't ruin it for those of you that has yet to read the book but I loved the way these stories intersected and really did not see it coming.
Introduced in this book is Kelsey a girl that Spencer knew the summer before. Her story is very much along the lines of Lady Macbeth who she is playing in the school play. Coincidence I think not, but the story really delivers some of the campiest, best scenes of the series and thats saying something!! Spencer orchestrated a scheme so outlandish that you have to read it to believe it, and roped in one of her fellow "Liars" to help it's downfall.
Emily's sister comes to town and unleashes her bad girl side! Normally I'm not an Emily fan, one book she's a lesbian , the next book she's straight again! Pick a side Sara Shepard! Anyways this story was pretty good, and drove home the point that Emily has been really wound up and may not be sure of who she is as a person.
Aria is of course having romantic problems. Remember Klaudia from the last book? She's back and still torturing our heroine! Noel dumps Aria, because according to him they are too different and he can't deal with it anymore. An old love comes back and sweeps her off her feet but soon shows his true colors and before you know it, Aria is single again. There is a contrived part but for some reason this didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.
Hannah, oh my favorite Hannah! Yep I saved the (second) best for last! I love Hannah and her diva-liciouness. This time she gets her own Romeo & Juliet story, with the son of her fathers political rival. I got swept up in the romance of her story until the very end and then felt just as betrayed as she did. Of course our Hannah being who she is got her revenge, but that doesn't always heal a broken heart. One lesson our Hannah has learned is that coming clean means less notes from A.
All in all this book like all of the PLL books are a great time waster! This one has a little more meat behind it and the stories seem to be more thought out than before, which only serves to strengthen the franchise! Until the next book comes out bitches! xoxox
