Sara... Sara... Oh, Sara. WHY? WHY did you have to do that? I am so thankful that the tv show wrote him into the story. I've dubbed this situation as the "Lafayette", referring to characters written "out" of a book remaining in the tv show. Lafayette was from Sookie Stackhouse. He was such a wonderful addition to Trueblood that they changed the show to allow him to stay on. I am so thankful the PLL did this with one of my favorite characters from the series. I would have cried to lose my weekly eye-candy. 
 This book was hectic and chaotic, twisty and turny- a complete guilty pleasure. I enjoyed it with the exception of one part: RIP, my friend. I would have given 5 stars, but I knew too much from the show and it resulted in a slow read for me. I didn't take the star away for the "suicide". 
 What I love about Shepard's writing and characters is that she doesn't dumb down or make all the characters innocent. They act their age- making mistakes, having regrets, and genuinely acting like misguided teenagers. I love that. Being 34 I can see both the parental side of things and remember just how I felt as a teen. I can see Hannah's father's issues and I just shook my head. His "piggy" comment, I can guarantee wasn't meant as Hannah perceived it to mean. Basically, the nature of the human mind is written perfectly. 
 & I'm on to Perfect
