Book Summary
Alison DiLaurentis, the manipulative "Queen Bee" of Rosewood Day, rules the most popular clique in school...Spencer Hastings, a perfectionist who always tries to outdo her sister and the only one to ever have the nerve to stand up to the leader; Hanna Marin, the overweight girl in the group who has really never done anything bad to Alison; Aria Montgomery, a girl who used to despise Alison and anyone related to her; and Emily Fields, a swimmer from an extremely conservative, racist family who is most protective of Alison. They were all best friends, who had planned an epic sleepover to start off their even more epic summer, only until Ali disappears after getting into an argument with Spencer at their sleepover with the other girls, and the group then slowly fades away. After three years pass, Aria, back from a long trip in Iceland that left her feeling confident, beautiful, and more stylish than ever returns to Rosewood to find former dork Mona Vanderwaal and a thin Hanna to be the new social leaders of Rosewood Day. Aria soon begins to have an affair with her English teacher, Spencer falls for her sister's boyfriend, Emily is in love with the new girl at school, and Hanna not only shoplifts, but also pukes up all of her eaten food to stay thin. After all this, an mysterious person called "A" threatens to reveal the girls' secrets from past and present, including ones they thought only Alison knew; and especially one in particular, that the girls refer to as: "The Jenna Thing". Ultimately, Alison's body is found cemented in her former back yard, and the DiLaurentis family holds a funeral for Alison in Rosewood: "the only home Alison ever knew." By the book's end, the identity of "A" remains unknown.
