The Kari AnnAlysis

Ali has been missing for over three years now. One night, in the midst of a sleepover with her five best friends, Emily, Hanna, Spencer and Aria, Ali steps outside, and doesn’t come back. That’s when the girls fell apart. Now, that they are in high school, and they are all back in the same classrooms, strange stuff starts happening.

All four girls start getting text messages, IMs, emails and notes with secrets that each girl only told one person… Ali.

Spencer’s secret has to do with one of her sister’s ex-boyfriends. Aria’s secret is about her dad. Emily’s secret deals directly with Ali. And Hanna’s secret has to do with her transformation from a “little piggy” to one of the school’s hottest.

So these secrets, which the girl’s thought went to the grave with Ali, are obviously not in the grave. Someone knows about them and they are threatening to make them public knowledge.

I have had my eyes on this series for quite a while, but now that the TV series is starting in T-2.5 hours, I knew I had to read it before I watched it. I watched Gossip Girl before I read it. I didn’t like it. I felt like the first book and the first episode were verbatim, and I didn’t like reading it after I’ve already seen it. I’m a read then watch kind of girl. With that said,

I LOVED THIS BOOK! I started it around 1am on Monday and finished shortly before midnight, yes, less than 24 hours later. Once I started, I just couldn’t stop. The book kept me reading and guessing, and 100+ pages into the second book, Flawless, I still have no idea who “A” is, writing all of these secret notes. And let me tell you, it infuriates me! LOL

I have formed bonds with all of the characters, for different reasons. I understand the lives of Emily and Spencer because they are sports nuts, and Spencer is a brain ( I was smart, but not a brain). I connect with Hanna because we both have divorced parents. And Aria, well, she just sounds awesome. She finally found herself. And I feel for all of them. I know what it’s like to keep secrets. It’s hard, you feel guilty, but you are scared to let people in on it.

As much as I would like to keep going on this rave, I have to log off immediately, I want to get through more of Flawless before the show comes on   Yes friends, I’m addicted to this series and I’m only through one whole book! The show comes on at 8EST on ABCFamily!

I give Pretty Little Liars 5 bookmarks! I’ll have a review on the series premiere after I watch!
