About this listen

Four Pretty Little Liars still haven’t learned their lesson....

In idyllic Rosewood, Pennsylvania, nothing is quite as it seems....

Fifteen years ago an anonymous tormentor known only as A terrorized Emily Fields, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin, and Aria Montgomery—watching their every move, revealing their darkest secrets, and even nearly killing them.

Now A is in jail and the Pretty Little Liars have grown up and moved on. Emily is happily married. Spencer is on partner track at her law firm. Hanna’s family is the envy of the neighborhood. And Aria is a finalist for a coveted art fellowship.

Their lives are perfect. Or so they say.

Turns out, Emily is hiding a big secret from her wife. Spencer has used some dirty tricks to claw her way to the top. Hanna’s family isn’t nearly as perfect as it seems. And Aria will do anything to win that fellowship.

After all, once a liar, always a liar. And guess what? A is still watching....

i enjoyed listening to this book the narrator did an amazing job switching voices for each and every character. The book kept my attention, I wanted to know what was going to happen next and who was behind it. I would recommend this book for sure.

Kept my attention

As a fan of the original PLL series, this story was a lot of fun. Mind-blowing? No. Life-changing? No. Entertaining? Definitely. I finished the story in just 3 days, listening any chance I had. I agree with other listeners - the narrator talked a bit slowly for my taste, but just a minor speed-up to 1.3x and all was good. For sure recommend this to anyone who is nostalgic for the originals.

I was always into the series before so I really enjoyed this. Hoping there is another.

They are back!

Everyone was flat and one dimensional. The plot was predictable. It was definitely lazy listening. I see a sequel, but am totally disinterested. Don't like to knick the narrator. But she didn't change her voice to distinguish the characters which did not help.

The main characters were Interchangeable

Like all stories about the Liars, this one was far-fetched but entertaining nonetheless. It was slightly predictable at times as the girls proved they haven't changed at all. I love PLL and will continue to consume any storied written about the girls.

SOOO GOOD

Get out your Jungle Red Lipstick. Dust off that black hoodie or red coat. Highlight those Lolita clues, because A is back and killing for secrets.

Clearly I am a glutton for punishment. Over the years I have somehow indulged in every ridiculous Pretty Little Liars book Sara Shepard has released (aside from Alison's Diary and some other Kingdom Hearts bullshit 4.5 book). Yes, I took time out of my days on the earth for all 17 of these pretty badly written novels. Book 1 is fun because it sets up the plot. I then enjoyed the green one with the pink ribbon a few weeks later. ...and there was one black cover one that was aesthetically interesting after the numerous neon volumes. If you need some aesthetic appeal to a shelf, these books can at least manage to do a base level job. "The one with green or black cover" is probably not what Sara was going for when attempting to make these memorable, but who am I to judge when I am the Melissa Mask clown that continued to come back....again...and again...and again....like the many iterations of Alison DiLaurentis.
Thanks to this series forever wasting a few days of my mortal life- I am plan to be murderously brutal. Most all the Liars books are two stars from me. ...ASIDE- from two, Ali's Pretty Little Secrets and the latest addition The Liars.

The Liars was a fun, fourth wall breaking, grave re-dug story. I enjoyed seeing the adult girls and their current lies....I mean, lives. Genuinely this story is a good one-sit read if you are willing to kill some time. Early in I was fully invested in a surprising way. I truly enjoyed where Sara has visualized her leading ladies. As a whole, this story felt better contrived than most of the others in the series. For the most part the plot made sense, I enjoyed references from previous iterations, and felt like it was a fun ride. All the girls felt well fleshed out and held fast to their tropes we all grew up either loving or hating.
Something I had truly blockaded from my personal A lair mind-palace was how atrociously INSUFFERABLE book Emily is. The gays deserve better. She is, without a doubt, one of the most annoying characters of any YA series I have ever had to endure. I didn't mind her plot in this one, but I cannot stand how painfully, soullessly, tiring she is to read. All people make mistakes, but Sara's biggest one was not letting Alison or any of her many minions put Emily out of her misery.

I liked about 85% of this book...and then the end hit. As most of this series, the epilogue is worth pushing through the cringe ending. Overall, if you are like me and had forged your way through 16 of these books you might as well read the 17th.
Concept 3/5
Setting 4/5
Characters 3/5 (1 star per liar hahaha)
Plot 3/5
Coherence 4/5
Romance 3/5

Verdict- Tippy the bird may not be tweeting about it, but no one will lock you up in the Radley Sanitarium for reading it either


A short aside.
Regardless of criticizing Sarah's writing for years I have always loved her story concepts. She cultivated a following which grew into an even larger phenomenon when our TV liars first had that iconic sleepover on tv. Pretty Little Liars has been such a treasured memory for me. From watching it with gals in our dorm and attempting to read all the novels before the next episode could air- to making a "Pretty Little TV Pact" to the guy I ended up marrying. My husband, was just a friend while the show was still on air, and I would drive to his parents house and watch in their basement while doing laundry for college. We later brought his best friend in on the fun and it has been years of laughter and A jokes. While the tv series was coming into it's last season I even had met a couple gals online who would theorize with me. One of them just had their first baby and I can't believe how this silly show impacted my entire future.
Although I sold all my physical book copies (except Ali's Pretty Little Secrets which is like a 4 star read) those books represent a huge puzzle piece of my life story. So Sara Shepard, Marlene King, the 6 main gals- if you ever accidentally stumble upon this, Thank you.
