Boys wanted to date her, girls wanted to be her, and somebody wanted her dead. . . .<\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s the end of seventh grade, and Alison DiLaurentis and her friends are the girls of Rosewood Day. Ali runs her clique with an iron fist, and she&#039;s got enough dirt on Hanna, Emily, Aria, and Spencer to keep them in line. But Ali&#039;s hiding a dark secret of her own, something so huge it would destroy everything if it ever got out. She&#039;s desperate to keep the perfect life she&#039;s worked so hard to build, but in Rosewood deadly secrets have deadly consequences. . . .<\/p>\n<p>Set in the weeks leading up to Ali&#039;s murder, this special Pretty Little Liars tale is told by the prettiest little liar of all: Ali herself. For the first time ever, we see how the mystery began . . . and how Alison DiLaurentis&#039;s life ended.<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My Thoughts} &#8211;<\/strong> This book is helpful in only one way. It helps to clearly point out mildly what had happened the night that Alison\/Courtney had died. This is basically an account of what had happened leading up to that night, the next day and so on. It helps as a means of giving closure to some of the readers who have been wanting to know what exactly happened that night. However, it also opens up more questions. I do have to hand it to the author. She certainly knows how to grip the audience and keep the mystery alive by only revealing minimal clues in each of the books.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 2 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013Before there was A, there was Alison DiLaurentis.
