It's also really creepy and puzzling as the identity of 'A' remains a secret both to the girls and to the reader. The story is fast-paced and exciting and although on the surface it may first appear to be no more than a shallow story about a group of glamorous girls, it's actually pretty gritty, with everything from eating disorders to shoplifting to issues about sexual identity being discussed. This was a fantastic start to what I suspect is going to be an addictive series. When they start receiving mysterious text messages, emails and letters from someone calling themselves 'A', they begin to wonder if someone knows what really happened to Alison after all. Fast-forward three years and the girls are reunited in Rosewood. An investigation is launched into what happened to Alison but no one knows how or why she disappeared. The story is basically about five best-friends who do everything together until one of them disappears and the friendship between the other girls falls apart. With the launch of the TV series in the UK, I thought that it was about time I caught up with the books. The 'Pretty Little Liars' series is one that I've been meaning to read for a while now.
