In the exclusive Philadelphia suburb of Rosewood, Alison is the Queen Bee of her elite seventh grade hive. BFs Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily vie for her attention, even as each of them hides a hideous secret only Alison knows. So when Alison goes missing after a slumber party, never to be seen again, each girl is heartbroken, but also a little relieved. Now it is three years later, and though the four girls have grown apart, they are each still hiding something. Artsy Aria is carrying on an affair with one of her teachers, fashionista Hanna shoplifts to accessorize her trendy outfits, blue-blood Spencer is sleeping with her older sisters boyfriend, while straight-A Emily is trying to ignore her attraction to a new female classmate. When the girls begin receiving threatening text messages and emails that from someone known only as "A," they must confront the fact that against all odds, it appears Alison is back. Could Alison still be alive? And if so, why is she so determined to uncover all their dirty little secrets? Debut author Sara Shepard's shamelessly addictive blend of Desperate Housewives and I Know What You Did Last Summer is absolutely delicious. Her infusion of mystery and murder breathes new life into the tired genre of high society chick lit, and will give fans of Gossip Girl and The A-List something new to dig their French-manicured nails into. A cliff-hanging ending will leave readers craving the second title in the planned four-part series. --Jennifer Hubert

 Desperate Housewives' Secret Lovechild on the Loose!, Pt. I July 15, 2008
Remember the first season of "Desperate Housewives"? This first installment is better than that! The first book of this highly addictive series starts with former BFFs Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily receiving disturbing e-mails and texts from someone called "A". "A" seems to know there deepest, darkest secrets from their past and their present. Could "A" be Allison, their former Queen Bee and frenemy who mysterious disappeared a few years ago without a trace? Unexpected twists, turns and the girls' bond over an incident dubbed "The Jenna Thing" force them back together to solve the mystery of the person behind the mysterious texts while trying to keep "A" from exposing their damaging secrets. The subject matter (eating disorders, underage drinking, underage sex , homosexuality, shoplifting and cyberbullying), which seems to be the norm for most young adult series these days may seem off putting to sheltered teens and adults. Alternately, the mature subject matter can also provide opportunities for discussion, awareness and how peers and parental pressure contributes to these issues.
Totally amazing July 2, 2008
Oh my gosh. This book rocked. So much happens to the 4 friends right after "the jenna thing" and after alis disappearence that it is so suppensesful and just amazing at all the stuff going on with them. I'm just now working on the flawless but I'm not putting this series down until I find out who A is and Who Ali's killer is but I think A is Ali's killer but who knows.
 Loved this book!!! June 7, 2008
A great ya read (even for an adult like me) that includes murder, mystery, drama, and even a bit of intrigue. I kept wanting to pick this book up and read it, even when I was supposed to be doing something else. The short chapters were great to read quick tidbits here and there and not be lost within a chapter. I liked how after almost every text or email the story went back to the 7th grade time frame to explain what it meant then and how it linked to what was happening now. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of this series!! :)
full of suspense-dont be put off by the cover! May 31, 2008
I passed up and read the inside of this books flap several times before picking it up and actually reading it. I was totally put off by the cover, because frankly, I thought it looked silly. Even the title sounded completely ridiculous. But this just goes to show, never judge a book by its cover! I finally decided to give it a chance, and I was glad I did. I've actually read the book several times, because each time you read it, you pick up on something new, and catch something you might not have noticed the first time around. Its full of suspense, and will keep you up all night reading it, because you'll be wanting to know what will happen next, and the suspenseful, edge of your seat, wanting to know what will happen next feeling, will continue throughout the rest of the series, so don't forget to read the following novels as well!
The book is revolves around four high school girls: Aria, Hannah, emily, and Spencer, who were once best friends, but became distant from one another after the mysterious disappearance of their best friend Ali, who went missing during the summer after 7th grade. They all hold a terrible secret, having to do with the reason that Ali may be missing, along with their own personal secrets that no else knew....except for Ali that is. They all lead seperate lives, until they begin receiving mysterious text messages from a person only known as "A" in which she reveals all their deep, dark secrets, and uses these secrets to blackmail them. Could it be....is Ali back? Or is someone else onto them? Someone who saw them the night that changed their lives forever...
I recommend this to pretty much everyone to read, because it is highly enjoyable, but I especially recommend this book for those of you who are fans of the Gossip Girl series because this series reminds me of that one. Granted, its completely different in some ways, but it has the same air of mystery, seeing as how the person described as "A" is annoymous, just as the mysterious blogger in "Gossip Girl" who always knows everything about everyone. So its pretty much a darker, more twisted verison of "gossip girl".
