Product Description
In a town where gossip thrives like the ivy that clings to its mansions, where mysteries lie behind manicured hedges and skeletons hide in every walk-in closet, four perfect-looking girls aren't nearly as perfect as they seem. Three years ago, Spencer, Aria, Emily, Hanna, and their best friend Alison were the girls at Rosewood Day School. They clicked through the halls in their Miu Miu flats, tanned in their matching Pucci bikinis, and laughed behind their freshly manicured fingernails. They were the girls everyone loved but secretly hated—especially Alison. So when Alison mysteriously vanished one night, Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna's grief was tinged with . . . relief. And when Alison's body was later discovered in her own backyard, the girls were forced to unearth some ugly memories of their old friend, too. Could there be more to Alison's death than anyone realizes? Now someone named A, someone who seems to know everything, is pointing the finger at one of them for Ali's murder. As their secrets get darker and their scandals turn deadly, A is poised to ruin their perfect little lives forever.

 BEST YET!!! July 4, 2008
It rocked!!!! Best so far but I still got Unbeleivable and whatever she writes. So Spencer ends up with the blame for Ali's murder and Aria, Hanna, and Emily suspect its her. Well Aria and Emily did but Hanna never did get to reveal who A really was and A *** *** **** because "She knew to much" Aria is homless and boyfriendless and was pretty much ****** from her family. She's pretty sure her life sucks. Emily is being sent to a special group for gays but when she catches her coach with her ex... And for Hanna. Poor girl got dumped by her best friend after A totally sabatoged her and when A slipped up, Hanna got her digits and realized it was... This book made me wish Unbelievable would arrive from Amazon.com already. So suspensful and amazing. I sure hope Hanna returns after what A did to her. But as far as I know, A decided to get a new victim along with the pretty little liars. You'll have to see!!!
 GARBAGE--not fit for minors May 7, 2008

In the first chapter, two 15/16 YO girls smoke marijuana. In the next chapter, a girl the same age goes to a bar, gets drunk, then has sex with an adult stranger in the bar's restroom. This book is nothing but garbage bordering on narrative child pornography. Shame on the book industry for marketing this trash to children. Parents, just because a book is in the teen section of the store or website doesn't mean it is actually suitable or appropriate for children--even teenagers.

OMG, I was soooooooooo shocked by the ending. I don't think spencer meant to kill Ali. I think it was her sister, her sister says it pretty much in the book. I don't want Hanna to die, especially after meeting a great guy named lucas. Ugh, i wonder who is A. "A" is maybe now a murderer by killing Hanna, how could she. She lives in the area, how could this girl know EVERYTHING. I can't wait to get the 4th book in the series. There's going to be 8 books in total. YAHOO!!!!!!! Anyone who loves wathching or reading drama or gossip shows/books with a twist of mystery will love this books. You have to get this book. Its a must have for all girls over 13+ age. Love it. :D

PERFECT starts out with a flashback to a time when Ali was still alive and part of the group. Ali receives a phone call but doesn't share with Spencer, Hanna, Aria, or Emily. But that's kind of how it's always been. Ali was always the leader. Playing the girls off each other and keeping secrets on each of them.
Now, Ali is supposedly dead and the girls have all gone their own way.
Spencer has been nominated for the Golden Orchid. It's only the most prestigious essay contest in the country. The only glitch...no one knows that it's an essay that Spencer stole off her sister's computer one night when she didn't complete an assignment.
Aria is still secretly crushing on Ezra, her teacher. When they first met, Aria didn't know Ezra was going to be a new teacher at Rosewood. There was an instant connection, but so far they've been good about not acting on those feelings.
Hanna has had a major falling out with her now best friend, Mona. This has caused Hanna to resort to overindulging with food again.
And Emily. Well, she doesn't want to be on the swim team anymore. And she does want to date her friend Maya, but knows how violently her family would react to that news.
All four girls are still getting cryptic messages from the unknown "A." Who can possibly know all of their secrets, the ones that only Ali knew? As the messages keep coming, each girl gets tangled up in a web of her own creation.
A cliffhanger involving the remaining girls leaves the reader ready for the next installment of the PRETTY LITTLE LIARS series, Pretty Little Liars #4: Unbelievable (Pretty Little Liars), due out in May 2008. I picked up the first book in the series on a whim the fall of 2007. I kept being drawn to the cover. I sat down and quickly devoured the first story. From there, I was hooked.
The twisted lives of these girls at Rosewood are enough to keep anyone coming back for more!

The Perfect Title for A Perfect Book February 18, 2008

Once apon a time there were four perfect little girls. Their names were Ali, Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily. Spencer was the perfectionist who had a bad habit of stealing her sister's boyfriends and has a hot temper. Hanna will do anything to be perfect, which includes being bulimic and shoplifting. Aria is trying to keep her disfunctional family together while dating her English teacher. And Emily, poor little Emily, the cookie cutter sweety pie, isn't that at all unless you consider the cookie cutter sweety pie to be gay. But last but definatly not least there is Ali. Ali was the Queen Bee, the leader, if she said "Jump" the girls would jump. All of the girls told her their secrets hoping that with her they would stay hidden -- but they were oh so wrong!
After a seventh grade sleep over Ali disaperred into thin air *poof* just like that. All of the girls were saddened at the loss of their best friend but were also relieved that their secrets would be safe. But that was when they didn't know about "A". Three years later they started getting threatening notes, e-mails, IMs, and texts from someone called "A". At first they thought that Ali was back because "A" was reminding each of them of their secrets. But then when Ali is found buried dead in her own back yard they relize that "A" is a whole other situation.
This book is by far the best in the series. Not that the first two weren't excellent but they had a lot of chearcter development and not as much plot development which just left more to be desired. Perfect is the perfect mix of plot development and character development. Spencer and Hanna were the two charcters that you need to foucus on because they are discovering clues about "A" and Ali's death, whether they like it or not. Aria also finds something out about Ali's personal life twoards the end of the book and has an idea about who her killer might be. But don't be so sure, the book's brilliant author, Sara Shepard, always has something up her sleeve. Emily is by far the blandest character but she is not to be forgotten because I always look foward to her chapters. Her chapters are one of the more interesting ones for some reason. Maybe it is because it is a lifestyle that we are unfamilliar with.
This book gives us so many clues about what happened to Ali and who "A" is. I am not going to tell you because you have to read the book to get the full experience. It is so much fun to put the microscopic but oh so important pieces of the puzzle together. These are my favorite books by far. I wish that ever book that I read could have the addicting power that this series has. You have to read the first two books though or else you will be completly lost. These books aren't the type of books that you finish and never give a second thought about. They stay burnt in your brain. I finished Perfect months ago and I am still every day interperating the book diferently and trying to see all of the possibilities of who "A" and Ali's killer are.
These books are a MUST READ for any teen. If you haven't read these books you are missing out on a whole world of execellent liturature.
