I have seen most of the episodes of Pretty Little Liars on ABC family (which I LOVED) and so I thought I would pick up the series. I actually got this as a free E-book on Kindle.
I did really like this book - it is actually very similar to the TV series, with one pretty big exception, the language. I would not recommend this book for anyone under 18. There is a LOT of language, teen drinking, innuendo, and some really adult situations in general. What's funny is that the show is really the same as far as the situations go (except that the girls don't smoke cigarettes in the show and there is not quite as much drinking). The relationships and major events of the story are the same. I think as I watched the show I started rooting for the girls and came to understand why they did the things they did, but, really, they do some pretty bad things!
In the first of many books in this series, the girls are all back in Rosewood three years after their "friend" Allison went missing. They are all dealing with some pretty big stuff and have changed a lot. Hanna is having run-ins with the law, Aria has found herself and hooked up with someone at a bar who turned out to be her new English teacher, Spencer is trying to live up to her sister's accomplishments and is kind of going after her sister's boyfriend, and Emily is fighting her parents expectations and is becoming more comfortable with her sexuality.
They are teenagers, so their choices aren't always the best. But making their lives more complicated is this unknown person "A" who keeps sending them text messages and emails teasing them and indicating that he/she will expose the girls' dirtiest secrets. The only problem is, no one knew those secrets except Alison! Who is sending the text messages??
The TV series is extremely intriguing and compelling. This book was definitely both of those things and I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
