Here it is. The (rumored) FINAL Pretty Little Liars novel.

If you have read all 15 books,

Gisbelle, Amanda and I

would love for you to join us in the final 16th book.

[Amanda]

Yay! so excited for this one.

[Gisbelle]

Yay! I'm excited to find out how it will end.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

right?! I have no idea what will happen in this one
I can't wait

I just hope we finally get ALL The answers! LOL

[Gisbelle]

Lol... I have no clue either. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping everything makes sense in the end :)

[v.v]

Could I join this one?

[Gisbelle]

Of course! Glad you joined.

[v.v]

Thanks! Can't wait to read this one!

[Gisbelle]

Me neither. I hope we don't be disappointed.

[v.v]

Well she hasn't disappointed us yet :)

[Gisbelle]

I bought the book. Can't wait to start :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! so excited!! Fingers crossed I get it in time!!!

[Amanda]

Yay! My copy came in this week at the library.

[v.v]

My library is on the way!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

more books are cycling in for me...but not this one yet
everyone cross your fingers for me :D

[Amanda]

Fingers crossed you get this one soon. I hate when my library takes forever to get books out. I'm still waiting for them to release A Thousand Pieces of You :(

[Amanda]

Is everyone ready to start this one today?

I plan on reading some of this before work and then more tonight after work.

[v.v]

I'm still waiting for the book.

[Gisbelle]

I'll start later today :)

[Amanda]

10 chapters in so far.

Ali (view spoiler)[wonder how long she will be able to stay in hiding without being found. (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[I don't believe that she is dead. I think that she will try and find Ali. (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[running away is not the answer. She will be caught and in even more trouble for evading her trial. Not a smart move. (hide spoiler)]

Spencer (view spoiler)[was not expecting Wren to be back in the books again. I wonder if she will end up back with Wren again, not sure that I will like that. (hide spoiler)]

I'm liking this so far. Will read more tomorrow.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh, I just bought it lol
I'll start soon!! :)

[v.v]

I'm going to chapters tomrrow so I'll start then!

[Amanda]

20 chapters in.

Aria (view spoiler)[how is she surprised that she got caught. Running away was a bad idea and it's only going to make things worse for her and make her appear even more guilty in the eyes of a jury. (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[I think that it's a bad idea for Hanna to marry Mike. They are too young and she is about to go on trial, that is not a good time to get married. Wonder how that will all play out they can't go through with it right? (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

31 chapters in.

Verdict (view spoiler)[how crazy that they end up in prison with some Ali cats, who knows what they would have done to the girls had they been in prison longer. (hide spoiler)]

I had a feeling that (view spoiler)[Emily was still alive. It's great that she found Ali and it's shocking how much her mother was willing to go along with all this to keep Ali out of trouble. I get that she is her daughter and she would do anything to help her, but how far are you willing to go? It's good that she will be going to prison, but there are Ali cats in there that can't be good since it gives Ali an opportunity to plan more attacks against them. (hide spoiler)]

Just about finished with this. Will post back soon.

[Amanda]

Finished.

The end (view spoiler)[I really question whether this is the last book or not. She left the end up so more books could easily be written. I was really hoping for a more final ending in the series. (hide spoiler)]

This was good and I'm pretty satisfied with the end. I can't wait to see what you guys think.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm so sorry Amanda and everyone!
I'm so buried in my oldest child's Birthday planning and finishing up my Xmas stuff. Ugh.

I have to finish 2 books tonight
I'll be starting this one tomorrow :(

[Amanda]

That's okay there's no rush. I'll be here when you start. It's a fast read.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

AHH!!! Getting ready to start!! SO excited!
I plan to just READ IT STRAIGHT THROUGH! lol

[Gisbelle]

Hi, guys. I'm sorry I haven't checked in lately. I'm leaving for a trip I have volunteered as a chaperone tomorrow and won't be back till Monday. I'll read this book when I'm back. See you all later :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Have Fun Gisbelle!!

[Gisbelle]

Thanks :) happy birthday to your girl too:D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

thanks Gisbelle :)
yikes...I have a 16 year old...ugh... lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

bleh. So I finished 5 chapters about an hour ago and sent my comments
just came back and...darn it, no comments.
Goodreads ate them :(

Emily (view spoiler)[ OMG she's really losing it. through these last few books, we've kind of slowly watched her lose it more and more, ever since the baby.....OMG she can't die, right? (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[ I know she's sorry she missed out on being a movie star but....ugh, how can she want to be in the spot light more...... (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[ lol is it sad that I still hold a grudge against him? I just...I still can't seem to trust him
I hope he doesn't turn out to be an Ali cat :( he does seem to truly like her (hide spoiler)]

Spencer (view spoiler)[ poor thing. I found it funny in a very sad way that she showed up with her computer ready to take notes with that scary author she visited..... Spencer can't go to jail. she'll never survive it!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Nick (view spoiler)[ I wonder what he was really hinting at
Ali seems to be staying with someone....NOT where he sent them
did he send them to find clues? or did they misread what he was trying to tell them? (hide spoiler)]

Ali Cats (view spoiler)[ ugh, I so dislike them (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

I hate when Goodreads does that.

Emily (view spoiler)[I know she was really unstable in the last few books. (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[I never understood he need to be in the spotlight either, and especially with a trial going on it's not a good time to put yourself in the spotlight. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 chapters

Emily (view spoiler)[ Holy moly...so do you think she did that on purpose??? to look like she died so she can hunt for Ali without the trial looming over her OR for Ali looking for her?? I don't think she's dead either. I refuse to beleive it....these girls get a happy ending!!!!! I demand it! LOL (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[ what on earth is she thinking?? if she went somewhere that extradites back to the US, it was COMPLETELY pointless to run and Yeah...new charges and looks bad. *sigh* why doesn't anyone care about these girls? (hide spoiler)]

Hanna (view spoiler)[ Oh my. what she said to Spencer? awful :(
and Aria :( that was a horrible argument (hide spoiler)]

Spencer (view spoiler)[ YES! that was surprising - to have Wren pop his head back in! but i"m glad she shot him down for now. She does have the best relationship with Melissa in a long long time. Wren would just screw that all up again....Spencer is really starting to mature and change. (hide spoiler)]

SO good so far!

[[deleted user]]

I just finished this yesterday in one day. I couldn't put it down. I loved everything about it. it was so good.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG I agree!! it's so good !! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

15 chapters

Hanna (view spoiler)[ jeez..really
in the midst of all this, she's planning...a wedding. I'm sure the press is just having a field day with it :( (hide spoiler)]

Spencer (view spoiler)[ and now her sister
I'm so glad her sister wants her to be so a part of her nieces life. her mom is AWFUL (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[....so...Noel found her. what does this mean?? (hide spoiler)]

Emily (view spoiler)[ I hope she's searching for Ali.... :( (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

the courtroom stuff is a little painful because it's completely inaccurate... but I'm trying to roll with it! LOL

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

20 chapters

lol I totally AGREE Amanda!!

Hanna(view spoiler)[ omg what is she thinking?
although, my heart did hurt when she mentioned the headbands and what all the girls would be doing .It was so dead on. Spencer planning seating arrangements and Aria making centerpieces and Emily with her heartfelt speech. Ugh. It kills me that everyone's at opposite ends (hide spoiler)]

Aria (view spoiler)[ I know, I can't believe she's surprised either. of course running away was a bad bad idea .... (hide spoiler)]

Spencer (view spoiler)[ OMG stealing the jewels? I hope she doesn't get in trouble for contacting that woman (hide spoiler)]

Trial (view spoiler)[ no really, them blurting out objections and going on rambling sentences with no questions and NO judge intervention.
this trial is killing me it's so ridiculous... (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

trial (view spoiler)[I know, there is no way that the judge would let them continue on the way they were. They would have been held in contempt for continuing on that way. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Amanda wrote: "Finished.

The end [spoilers removed]

This was good and I'm pretty satisfied with the end. I can't wait to see what you guys think."


Omg I'm done too, finally!

Wow (view spoiler)[ I really hope this is the end. She said so in her acknowledgement so I really hope she sticks with it.

I love that Spencer is going into Law
Emily is a beach bum surfer
Hanna is....a star?
Aria is an artist - like we knew she would (hide spoiler)]

I'm to tally good with this being our ending :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

A (view spoiler)[ i'm kind of sad she's still alive
but I agree with what Emily said - killing her would have made them exactly who A said they were.
but with Ali still alive, how can any of them really turn their back on it all??? (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

I hope (view spoiler)[that this is the end too. I am glad with the way things turned out as well. The girls have been through a lot and have grown stronger as a result. (hide spoiler)]

[v.v]

Sorry I couldn't be here before, my family is going off on a Christmas vacation. I'll start reading as soon as possible!

Merry Early Christmas!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

No worries v.v
I hope you like it!!! Merry Early Christmas too!!!
