This book truly convinced me that Pretty Little Liars is far superior to The Lying Game. Sorry, Sara. I was originally rooting for The Lying Game, being as it was the underdog, but Pretty Little Liars just towers over its opponent.

Shepard does the quadro-narration thing very well. It seems like a difficult thing to do, but she pulls it off, and she does it well. I don't ever confuse the girls with one another, which often happens in books with multiple narrators. (I heard that Dearly, Departed is narrated by five different people, which I'm sure is a colossal fail.)

The struggles the girls face are quasi-unrealistic, but Shepard write them like they could happen to anyone. The girls are going through much more difficult things than they were at the beginning of the series. Shepard keeps upping the stakes, and I'm not disappointed.

I can't wait for the last book in the Pretty Little Liars series!

Hailley Agree 100%! I have read all of the PLL books 3x and they are still great. I read the lying game and never have I ever and then when 2 truths and a lie came out, I tried to retread them and couldn't. I liked them the first time but could t force myself into them. I love the show and have even got my husband into it but it's nothing like the books though I actually wish it was. I know that sounds a little contradictory but I think it would have been cool in show form to have surround ghost be there instead of the evil bitch she is on the show.


Laura Very nicely written review for a fifteen year old!
