The New York Times 2011 Children's Series Book
Age Range: Young Adult
This was a very entertaining book that I couldn't put down! The book begins with five best friends the summer after 7th grade. Unexpectedly, one of them, Alison, disappears and her body is never found. The disappearance really gets to the four remaining girls and they grow apart. They all go their separate ways and the book picks up three years later. Spencer, is expected to be perfect by her parents and is an overachiever and on the field hockey team. Aria has recently moved back and falls in love with her high school English teacher. Hanna is now beautiful and popular, but has an eating disorder to stay thin. Emily is on the swim team and has a new best friend, Maya, who makes her question her relationship with her boyfriend. All four of the girls have buried secrets that only Ali knew. They begin getting text messages and emails from a mysterious "A" that mentions their secrets. The ending of this book was a shock and not what I expected. It does a great job of setting it up for the next book, Flawless. Great book!
