    Well, after reading the first eight books, everything was fine and the storyline was great, although I think it was the second book I did not enjoy that much. But after the ninth book, things are getting worse and worse. And I don't mean that the whole story is bad, but how the characters acting and how they are described since the ninth book, I don't like it anymore and I'm having a hard time reading them. But let me explain it, why it took me literally one month to read this book. In the first few chapters, things are okay, although Emily is pregnant and her sister treats her like shit, like girl c´mon, she's a pregnant teenager, no need to be to cruel to her. Aria and Noel are no longer together and she finally meets Ezra again, looks like a cute story is going to happen but no. For Hanna I don´t even have words. And for Spencer? Well, she's the same but worse. Taking drugs, blaming others for it and lying never stops. I don't think that Sara Shepard noticed that the book series was fine till book eight and then had to stop, she even managed to publish another eight books after the first eight. I don't know, but don't they always tend to say that if it's good then you need to stop? Ihm not sure if I'm going to read book eleven and the others following, but if I do then it takes a while because for now I have to forget that piece of literature shit.
