Pretty Little Liars: Ali's Pretty Little Lies

Katelyn Broad

This has been the best Pretty Little Liars novel I have read in a while. It was somewhat refreshing and there were a few twists, even though we already had an idea of what had happened. 
This book definitely humanizes "Ali/Courtney" compared to the other books, which I liked a lot. It was interesting getting inside her head and not having the whole "This person did it-oh wait they didn't" think that kept happening in the other PLL books.

“The lie that started it all.”  

Slightly better than the previous two books but if you've watched the ABC show like I have, then you've probably already figured out what the first lie is.

I really enjoyed reading the book about Ali. It was super fun to read it from a different perspective.

I'm the first to admit that I'm very, very skeptical about prequels. They can often be wonderful and informative and keep the same magic of the original series while providing us with a history. And then there's the ones that are bland and provide us nothing but frustration and even taint the original series. Ali's Pretty Little Lies fortunately is one of the good seeds and is just as spooky and entertaining as Pretty Little Liars.

The story takes place primarily before and during the summer which Alison DiLaurentis goes missing. Although the characters are in middle school when this prequel takes place, the story doesn't make us feel too ridiculous for reading about these girls in their younger years. Not much has changed and there's still a certain mature air to them that doesn't make us feel too awkward about the age difference between us and them. My biggest twitchy concern is the fact that a certain older boy takes to spending time chasing Ali and clearly lusting after her. I mean, gross, right? She's practically a child.

Back on track. Ali's Pretty Little Lies takes us back to the lie that started it all. I'm talking the formation of these pretty little liars as well as the moment Courtney and Ali officially switch place. As we know, the Ali that the girls knew was actually Courtney DiLaurentis and Ali's twin sister. It's very soap opera and very deliciously creepy; getting an idea of the twins relationship we grow to pity Courtney and are thoroughly frightened by the real Ali's actions.
