Ali's Pretty Little Lies
Sara Shepard




Ali's pretty little lies is the last book in the pretty little liars series, (a riveting series until you figure out who Ali's real killer is, then its just a tedious and repetitive plot line that is made up of throwing love interests at the main characters and other unnecessary developments.) Written by Sara Shepard, the author of two NYT bestselling series, this book follows Courtney DiLaurentis, and her last month of life, and serves as a prequel to the entire series. Courtney is the twin sister of Allison, the it girl of Rosewood Day and the girl who pushed and pushed Courtney to pretend to be her, threatening that she would hurt her if Courtney did not obey. Whenever Courtney tried to tell her parents, Allison would always remain calm and talk her way out of the situation. After Courtney snaps and almost strangles her sister, she is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and is sent away to a mental hospital, which is exactly what her evil sister wanted. Now years later, Courtney switches places with her sister and gets her sent off to a mental hospital while she gets to live the rest of Allison's life. The only problem? Allison wants revenge. and Courtney's lies start to build up.

This book is in my opinion one of the better ones since the first four, and really digs deep into the desperation of a young girl who just wants to be loved and to be free. It also deals with jealousy and revenge, secrets and scandals, all things that make up a good YA fiction book. While the characters are all rich and pretentious, it makes up for it with the amount of dirt going on behind closed doors. Overall this book specifically deserve an 8/10. While the entire series is a different story. It's a good read if you enjoy thrillers and scandals.

Thanks  for checking out my first review! I'll be back with more in the future. Au Revoir!
