Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard





Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead. -Benjamin Franklin 
In the perfect town, full of perfect houses, perfect jobs, perfect schools and perfectly pretty people; secrets are worth killing for.  The summer before 9th grade five friends get together to have a sleepover.  One friend goes missing and the town is thrown into turmoil.  While the search for Ali goes on, so does life.  Two years pass, Ali is still missing, and the remaining four friends have drifted apart.  The story starts just as their junior year is about to start.  All four friends are back in town, when Ali’s body is discovered.  Soon someone is  sending the girls threatening emails and texts.  Each note is signed “A”.  The emails and texts are all about things only Ali knew.  Could “A” be Ali?  Who else knows their secrets?  Will they tell?
This is a deliciously twisted story.  Who would think that eighth grade secrets could ruin your life?  I loved the melodrama and the excitement.  I was never this scandalous in high school, but it’s fun to read about.  Although the descriptions of the fashion go on more than I care for the story is worth reading.  There are several more books in the series and I can’t wait to read the rest.  All of the characters are well formed and unique from each other.  There is something for every girl.  

If you like the book you can watch the T.V. show on ABC family.
