Test Post with a Long Title!

I had heard such great things about this book and it definitely didn't let me down. For some reason I was expecting the girls to be really big bitches but they weren't! Each of them had their far share of problems but being catty wasn't one of them.

The mystery is there from the very first page and it's still there on the very last page. This book will leave you hanging on every word. There is no way you could read this slowly. You have to devour it to figure out what's going on and who'd behind all the messages. But none of those things are answered in the end!! Must read book two now!!!!

I loved all the characters. Even though they had way more drama in their lives than was realistic they still felt very real to me. I was definitely cheering them on the whole time, even if the things they were doing wasn't "right".  I can't wait to find out if I will still be cheering for them in later books.

Overall, this was a very fast read and I liked it a lot. I would recommend it. And of course I can't not mention the show! After I finished the book I watched the trailer and I must say I'm pretty excited about it. The show premieres June 8th on ABC Family. (ABC Family will definitely have to tone it down a little huh?)

Everyone has something to hide—especially high school juniors Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna.
Spencer covets her sister's boyfriend. Aria's fantasizing about her English teacher. Emily's crushing on the new girl at school. Hanna uses some ugly tricks to stay beautiful.
But they've all kept an even bigger secret since their friend Alison vanished.
How do I know? Because I know everything about the bad girls they were, the naughty girls they are, and all the dirty secrets they've kept. And guess what? I'm telling.

Blurb:

Terrified that her mother, a schizophrenic and an artist, is a mirror that reflects her own future, sixteen-year-old Aura struggles with her overwhelming desires to both chase artistic pursuits and keep madness at bay.

As her mother sinks deeper into the darkness of mental illness, the hunger for a creative outlet keeps drawing Aura toward the depths of her own imagination—the shadows of make-believe that she finds frighteningly similar to her mother’s hallucinations.

Convinced that creative equals crazy, Aura shuns her art, and her life unravels in the process.

My Thoughts:

 I didn't really know what to expect when I opened this book. What I got was a incredibly engaging story about mental illness. No one wants to talk about these things. Not really. Most of us avoid mental illness like it's the plague. But what if you were like Aura? What if your own mother were the definition of mental illness? There's no avoiding that.

This story was terrifying! I felt all the emotions of the book right along side Aura. It was like a train wreck that you knew was going to happen. I knew throughout the book that things were only going to get worse for Aura and her mother. I wanted to yell "Do something!!" at Aura! I LOVE when books make me feel that strongly. This one most definitely did!

Holly Schindler's writing is beautiful. It really came to life for me. Something else I really loved about the book, in the end not everything was picture perfect happy. There was some loose ends that were never tied. I really liked that. It was much more realistic that way.

This is a book you need to read for yourself. It's about a tough topic and the characters are nitty gritty but I really loved it. This one will make you think!
