WRAP-UP (#2): FEBRUARY 2016

This month I read four books, again, and with little variety.

Pretty Little Liars's books overdose. With their cheerful, colorful, flashy, doll-filled covers, their bitchy frenemy characters, their OMG mysteries, their "I'm too old for this teenage drama shit" kind of deal.

It was a teenybopper kind of month. And it was fabulous.

I'm gonna talk about all of them at the same time, because, honestly, I don't have a lot to say about them individually.

(Also, SPOILERS, maybe)

ADD to Goodreads

★★★★☆


The beginnings of the books are a little bit on the slower side, nothing hugely exciting happens, and then when you're approaching the end, the plot picks up and shit really goes down. Maybe a little bit too quickly.

The fourth book it's a good example of that.

SPOILERS

When we discover that Mona is A, it's cool and all, but then her death it's too abrupt for me. If you are distracted you may miss it. Or maybe I'm too ditzy. Or stupid.

END OF SPOILERS

But they are fun, easy, quick reads, nonetheless.

Also, I was pretty surprised, because the characters in the books (compared to the tv show) feel more like real teens; they think about sex, some of them even have it, they smoke, they drink, they swear (with the first "fuck" I almost gasped and everything)... And I was like hell yeah! Because I have the brain of a twelve year old boy.
