FINALLY Pretty Little Liars #15

Please join Gisbelle and I in this buddy read! We've loved this series and would love to chat with everyone!

[Gisbelle]

Yay!!! Now the question is, will this be the final book in the series?!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

hahaha!!! LOL! I know!!! That is the BIG question.
I really hope this is it....don't you??

I bet it will end...but I can't help but think she'll leave it a little open ended....like we'll hear laughing one more time or smell her perfume

or they will get ANOTHER text...or something crazy.

I don't know. what do you think?? think this is it??

[Gisbelle]

lol the infamous giggle! I really hope this is it. But really we still enjoy reading the series, so I don't mind much :)

Are you going to read her new series ?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG YES! i didn't even see she has a new series!!!

Are you??

[Gisbelle]

I got the ARC and finished it already. It was good. Adult, though, not young adult.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay! congrats on getting the Arc!

I just requested it from my library

It sounds really good but disturbing :)
I'm willing to give it a try.

[Gisbelle]

Thanks :)

It was a little messy at first because there were so MANY characters. But when I got the hang of it, it was not half bad :) Hope you like it!

[Amanda]

Yay, I am in.

I really enjoy this series, but I hope that this is the last one. How much longer can this go on?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay Amanda!! WOOHOO!!! I'm so glad you're with us!!

I know! They can't be adults and still dealing with this....right??? lol

PLEASE let this be the end!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I don't have the book from the library yet.

Are you guys starting? I can start posting as soon as I get the book!!!

[Gisbelle]

I read a few pages yesterday. If it's okay with Amanda, we can reschedule this one. I don't mind.

[Amanda]

That's okay to reschedule I don't have my copy from the library yet either.

[Gisbelle]

Great. I'm okay anytime. Got my copy yesterday.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Well, fingers crossed I'll get mine soon!!

6 new ones just updated today to "shipped" but not this one.
It says "in process" so they have it, I just need them to pass it on to me

Amanda, fingers crossed you get it right away too :)

[Gisbelle]

[Amanda]

Yeah, I am hoping I get my copy soon too, fingers crossed.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

[Amanda]

I'm still waiting too. The records say items being processed, but not sure how long it will take.

[Gisbelle]

That sucks. My copy is due next week, so I'll probably read before you guys then.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm finishing up a current book and then I'm starting! I can't wait!!!!!!! :P

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

5 chapters in

Loved the intro (view spoiler)[ from Ali
yikes that girl is crazy! (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[ Ugh, really Hanna. she can't really think acting in this show is a good idea. lol when will they ever learn? (hide spoiler)]

Ali cats (view spoiler)[ bleh. awful. I love Spencer's reaction! calling them crazy and about drinking crazy juice or something like that! ha! (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[ OMG...are you sketch about Jordan suddenly jumping back in the picture. it just all seems like...too good to be true timing..ya know?
I agree about her family too! They seem to disown her every other book. (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[ Noel....I remember being back and forth about whether I liked him
I wonder why he's standoffish now...maybe a new girl in his life? (hide spoiler)]

hahah!! It's weird but good to be back in this series!

[Amanda]

5 chapters in.

Hanna (view spoiler)[I agree I don't know why she thinks that doing this movie would be a good idea. Something is obviously going to go wrong. (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[I kinda like Noel, but I agree he is acting standoffish now and there may be someone new in his life. (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[totally agree about Jordan being back in the picture, it seems pretty convenient with the timing right now. (hide spoiler)]

Ali cats (view spoiler)[ugh, they are awful (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

21 chapters in.

Aria (view spoiler)[I wonder who this Scarlett girl is. I don't necessarily think that she is Noels girlfriend just yet. I wonder if she may be an Ali cat? (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[That swimming pool incident was so weird, why was Ali so insistent on wanting Emily to say she still loves her? also the circumstances around Jordans death are strange. I wonder who killed her, or if she really is dead? (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[that Hailey girl acts so spoiled and entitled, I think she is bad news. I kinda figured that something would happen to open the possibility of Hanna playing herself in the movie. LOL at the mentioning of Lucy Hale playing her though (hide spoiler)]

This one really is a quick read so far.

[Amanda]

Finished.

That ending (view spoiler)[wow Ali setting them all up for murder pretty intense. (hide spoiler)]

Can't wait to see what you guys think.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

woe 16 chapters

Emily (view spoiler)[ omg that was not at all what I thought would happen to Jordan.
I can't decide if it's real or not :( (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

thru ch 22

Aria (view spoiler)[ OMG good call Amanda. She probably is an Alicat. Yeah...he seemed uncomfortable with Aria seeing him with her. I wonder what's going on.... (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[ Yes! that pool incident was weird.
Why would Ali want her to say that?
And why would she start strangling her and then stop?
and then just run...it's all so off. I can't help but wonder if she DID send them on a goose chase with everything she left behind from that attack (hide spoiler)]
or....(view spoiler)[ is she trying to make her crack. Because Emily really seems like she's cracking
I don't blame her. She's really been the most screwed with by Ali (in my opinion....you know, the whole baby thing!) (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[ YES, Hailey is bad news
and how weird is it that Hanna is in a movie that STARS Herself...but she isn't playing herself. I thought that was odd from the beginning. lol
but the photo of her kissing Jared is obviously about to mess everything up for Hanna :( (hide spoiler)]

New York (view spoiler)[ and how weird was it that ALL these circumstances pulled them all into New York.
I wonder how many of these people are now Ali cats.
That newspaper/report guy for Aria
Jordan's murder
Hailey and/or Jared (hailey just feels like an ali cat. bleh!)
Scarlett... (hide spoiler)]
or maybe I just see liars everywhere! LOL :)

I'm liking this one so far! and i agree, it IS a really fast read!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I'm done

OMG (view spoiler)[ NO WAY! Ali framing Emily for the MURDER of Ali....???!! Ugh, and framing the rest like they helped her. (hide spoiler)]

did you get (view spoiler)[ why Ali said Emily had hurt her?
I was trying to scroll through all we knew about them....and I had nothing. How did THEY hurt Ali?
Ali didn't even want to be friends with them! (hide spoiler)]
hmmm.......

I loved it!!!
I can't wait for the last one! OMG finally! To end it all!!!

[Amanda]

I did not get (view spoiler)[why Ali said that Emily hurt her. I don't recall anything from the other books either. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Amanda wrote: "I did not get [spoilers removed]"

I know.....I wonder if it's something about (view spoiler)[ these cardinal rules I don't seem to remember. lol

like the "don't kiss and tell"
Maybe they knew her secrets and they weren't supposed to tell? (hide spoiler)]

OH! and the next one (view spoiler)[ who's on the cover??
Is that Hanna? Or Spencer??

I was trying to pick over the covers and I could not, for the life of me, remember who that was! LOL The show messed up their image/hair colors and all that for me! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

I forgot about (view spoiler)[the cardinal rules. That may be what Ali is referring to. (hide spoiler)]

I know I get confused about the covers too and mix them up with the show. I'm thinking it might be Aria?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ooooh!!! THAT could be. hmmm.....Aria... :) I can't wait for the last one!

[Gisbelle]

Sorry guys that I wasn't around these past days. My uncle had a heart attack. He's okay now.

Anyway, I'll try to finish the book by Monday.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh no. I'm so sorry Gisbelle. I hope your uncle is okay.

no worries, update when you can.

[Gisbelle]

Thanks. It was shocking since he'd always been so healthy.
