Summer Reading Response on Wicked

Book: Wicked (5th book of the Pretty Little Liars series)

Author: Sara Shepard

    Over the summer I read the book Wicked by Sara Shepard and I love this book. I have read the last 4 books in the series and the 4 main characters have gone through a lot. Spencer Hastings, Emily Field, Aria Montgomery and Hanna Marin have all dealed with “A.” After the death of Alison DiLaurentis the girls have been trying to figure out who this “A” is and if Ian (Alison ex-boyfriend) killed her.

     In the beginning and the middle of the book the girls talk about the experience of finding out that one of Hanna’s closest friends was “A.” Mona Vanderwall has tried to kill Spencer but his lead to injuries for her. Hanna also has to deal with her new stepsister Kate who is trying to be over the top. Emily is now struggling for the loss of Maya. But now is Emily falling for Isaac? Spencer continues to find out more information on her real parents. Spencer is trying to figure out if she’s a Hastings or not. Lastly Aria is now falling for a guy named Xavier who she meets at art class.

    As I go deeper into the book, I have notice that the girls deal with there new “A” problem while dealing with there regular life. I can see that the girls have forgotten about “A” for once but now with the new year of school “A” comes back. As I have been reading this book I have had one big question always pop into my head why does “A” keep coming back? Does this person want some revenge? The information I have gathered from the books I can tell that “A’” has a connection to Alison’s death. After all the “A” deal has started after Ali has died. Another thing I always wondered now that Mona is revealed as “A,” will Mona help out the new “A”? I infer that Mona might still be helping out “A.” Mona has all these information and she is probably going after Spencer, Hanna, Emily and Aria.

    At the end of the book “A” kills Ian. Spencer finds his body in the woods. All four girls go into the woods and see Ian lying on the ground dead. At once all there phones buzz. But not wanting to look at the screen they see a text from “A” saying He had to go.

    Overall I think that this book has a couple of words to describe it. Some words such as: relieved, startled and struggle ness. The characters have to go through a lot with the new “A” situation and with their regular lives.  But regarding to this book overall in my head many parts of the story made me question and infer why did this happen. And now I can’t wait to start the next book Killer to find out if my inferences were correct.
