Pretty Little Liars by
Sara Shepard is the first in the amazing series. Alison DiLaurentis is Rosewood's prettiest, most popular girl. And let's not forget her clique of Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, and Emily Fields. But right before eighth grade, Ali disappears only to have her body be found three years later under cement in her old house. Since the disappearance, the other four girls have drifted apart, but are reunited by Ali's finding. The girls all suddenly start receiving texts from an unknown person who calls himself "A". "A" knows all of their old secrets along with stuff that is going on now. What are the girls going to do? Will they discover who "A" is?
To be honest, the only reason I started reading this series was because I had fallen in LOVE with the television series. Sara Shepard had a great idea, and she wrote it down with spectacular skill. I would recommend this book to all teen girls because they will be able to relate to the girls' points of view and will be more interested in the book.

I would really recommend this book to people in middle school who want a change in genre and a new plot. I got hooked on the series because I became connected with all the characters because of how relatable each of them was. While their high school experiences in the book were very scary and not similar to mine I found this to be a distraction I could go to from my own life. There are a lot of characters and chaos that goes on in this book so I would recommend having a cleared-out mind before.
