Pretty Little Liars
If you’re looking for a quick, entertaining and juicy read, the Pretty Little Liars series could be a good companion for a rainy afternoon. We won’t be chattin’ philosophy, science or complex issues by the close of the final (cliffhanger of a) page, but that’s not what this is all about. This was cotton candy: fluffy and fun. And with six additional books in Shepard’s series, there’s plenty more where this snack of a story came from.Pretty Little Liars is a series of young-adult novels by author Sara Shepard, beginning with 2006's initial novel of the same name.

Two Character traits of Alison DiLaurentis, who was manipulative, charismatic and snobby. Alison was also very outgoing and friendly and uses these traits to make herself reach the top of the social ladder. Alison would upset her friends but rein them back by making them feel special to her. She liked to find out people’s darkest secrets, but would never give away any she had. She believed that secrets kept friends close. Alison was the former leader of the most popular group at Rosewood High School.
The novels explore several different topics and themes such as bullying, murder, drug addiction, underage drinking, eating disorders, homosexuality, peer-pressure, infidelity, and mental illness. Moral ambiguity and the consequences of lying (suggested by the title) are featured prominently in the series; the girls constantly create their own problems through their unwillingness or inability to tell the truth about certain events and misdeeds they have done.
The Theme of the novel, Pretty Little Liars, is “Secrets are bad because one day they're gonna come back and bite you in the butt” This book follows the lives of four teenage girls, Aria Montgomery, Emily Fields, Hanna Marin, and Spencer Hastings whose clique falls apart after their leader Alison DiLaurentis disappears, until her body is found, then they join together again at her funeral. Immediately the four girls start getting text messages from an anonymous source, “A” who threatens to expose their secrets, including long-hidden ones they thought only their close friend Alison knew. As the series continues they discover more secrets that harm not only them, but the ones around them. They also find out clues that may lead them to find the identity of “A” and Alison’s death. Therefore the theme of Pretty Little Liars is never trust a pretty girl with a secret.
The nature of conflict in the novel is man versus man as well as man versus self.
Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily all have struggles with “A” which you assume is Alison. They are fighting against her to keep their friendship and personal secrets hidden. They are also fighting with themselves. They are reminded about all the mistakes, trials, and secretes that they have tried to hide in their past. Pretty Little Liars is the epitome of a fast read; I finished it in two days of inconsistent reading. Each time I went to pick it up, I found myself fumbling along for the next page to figure out what sort of trouble the girls had found themselves in this time. Alternating between the past and the present, the novel’s quick pace definitely helped the novel’s feeling of urgency.
