Pretty Little Liar’s is a series of eight books. I’m writing about the second book called Flawless, it’s by Sara Shepard. In the last book you found out the main characters which are Allison, Spencer, Aria, Hannah and Emily. After Allison died in the last book weird things have been happening to the other four friends, such as they have been getting anonymous texts and IM’s and letters from a person who calls their self A. On the back of the book it says “And their most horrible secret yet is so scandalous that the truth would ruin them forever. And why shouldn’t I tell? They deserve to lose it all.” It seems like this A person feels that they need to get revenge on the four friends because the person keeps messing around with Hannah, Aria, Spencer and Emily.
The message that the author is trying to portray is that you shouldn’t keep secrets because someone always gets hurt and life gets complicated. Basically most of the weird messages started coming after people found Allison’s body underground in the yard of Allison’s old house. There have been a lot of things that have happened to the girls that A can use against them. For example Hannah used to be the “chubby” one of the group and so Allison made sure she watched her weight and that sort of stuff, also Hannah was caught shoplifting. Aria has an on and off relationship with her teacher Mr. Fitz. Emily is starting to become self aware of her sexuality. Also, Spencer has always fallen for her sister Melissa’s boyfriends. There is also a TV show that can show you this visually aside from having to read the books.
The literary devices that the author uses are suspense because you don’t know what is going to happen next. The setting has to do with the book a lot because it takes place in a nice, rich neighborhood that usually doesn’t have bad things happening. There is also foreshadowing because sometimes you can infer if bad things are going to happen. For example at one of the parties in the beginning of the book, Hannah’s boyfriend did not want to do what Hannah wanted to, so she took his car keys and crashed his car. The author also uses foil character, because there are mean characters in the book that like to bully others. This is a really good book because the author reflects her writing on problems that teenagers have in life, which can really help people relate to the book. Something unique about the author’s writing style, is she has an anonymous character who tries to ruin four friends lives. This book is really good so far.
