This was a fast read. While I do have problems with this series, it was fun to see "Ali's" side of things. ( )

I read this book before reading the rest of the series.. actually I tried to start book 1 first but couldn't get into it so I decided to try reading this one first. The premise of the story really drew me in to read the rest of the book.. to say what that is would probably be a spoiler but it is revealed early in the story and it's a good one! Even without knowing what happens in the other books it was a compelling and quick read. The things I didn't like about this book is that it's a bit young for me, I think younger readers would enjoy it more, and most of the characters seem very self-centered and unlikable, especially the main character Ali. They reminded me of the mean girls in school! But all the action and drama in the story keep the reader interested despite these limitations.

Ali's Pretty Little Lies gives the reader a massive advantage over the average PLL reader when it comes to 'A'. I read this book half way through the series and there are points when I have to remind myself that not everyone knows about the twins. I think it is a perfect companion novel. ( )

Ali's Pretty Little Lies was so good! It was creepy. It told the story on how the switch happened between Alison and Courtney and the events leading to Real Courtney's death the night of the end of seventh grade sleepover.

Of course, I knew what was going to happened to Alison and Courtney but it was heartbreaking in the end. The real Ali buried the real Courtney alive to die in their backyard. I felt bad for Real Courtney because she really thought the worst that Real Ali was going to do to her was switch back. She never thought Ali would kill her, even Ali herself lost her nerve at one point.


Which brings up a very interesting development: The Third A. I guess in the story-line this unknown person would be the Second A. Third A was helping Ali with this whole plan. I am not sure what Plan A was but Plan B was to kill Real Courtney so Real Ali can take her place. Her parents weren't going for it, for whatever reason, and shipped her back to The Preserve. It was interesting to see her hatred manifest to include the Pretty Little Liars.

Sara Shepard wrote a great book and kept continuity on point. I was glad for that. I was thinking maybe Real Ali is dead and the Third A is the one torturing the Liars. Maybe this Third A is Nick? He did seemingly come out of nowhere and disappeared just as fast. The only other person who saw Nick was Ian and he was killed. What if he wasn't killed because he found out about the twins but because he knew of Nick?

Man, I cannot wait for Crushed and Deadly! ( )
