if i had to guess, this was the book that had the closest deadline to writing it.
there are a lot of straws that didn't get smoothed out. and instead of just letting them fade out they were brought explicitly to the attention of the reader in the last chapter.

Its not a satisfying ending. but a lot of things were wrapped up so I don't feel any need to continue to read anymore.

I think the next books will be delving into Ali's relationship with her family. I'm mildly curious about but not really. What could be in the next books? All the major lies they were keeping were told by the blackmailer and their lives are on the course for a new beginning. There is no connecting thread for them anymore not that it was strong at any point. They frequently felt like they couldn't go to each other and themselves said that they don't consider each other friends anymore.

Next Book Predcition
time skip to college where they have more "secrets" that a blackmailer found

what i want
Hannah and Lucas to try dating. Hannah learns to nerd elegantly.
Trista and Emily try dating and navigating being queer.
Spencer goes back to therapy and maybe try dating Andrew. but it doesn't work out because Andrew deserves better.
Aria needs therapy and to hang out with other art nerds.

"The obstacle is the path. Meaning what wouldn’t kill Aria would just make her stronger."

I've finished the first arc for Pretty Little Liars and I have to say: I think I enjoyed the books more than the series! Our girls have been put through the ringer and all the developments from book 3 continue here. While books 1 and 2 were all setting the stage for book 3, Unbelievable is the direct continuation & resolution of the previous book.

There isn't much to add that wasn't said in my review of Perfect. By the end of this book A is revealed... and let me tell you - it was much more believable for me than in the tv series. I am really interested in Jenna's character and hope she plays a role in the next arc of the series.

Overall this was a satisfying end to the first arc of Pretty Little Liars. A's been unmasked after torturing Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer but we all know that there will be a new A in town, waiting for the Liars to fall back into their old ways. And I look forward to continuing with the series soon!

I think that this book was my favorite of the series so far. I love Hanna and it just felt like it was more about her than anyone else. Maybe that's just how I saw it but I really liked this one and couldn't put it down!
