If you enjoyed Pretty Little Liars, you might enjoy these.

Sara Shephard's Pretty Little Liars is the first book in a twenty-five-book series for young adults. That doesn't include the Pretty Little Liars-like companion novels she wrote.

The author's childhood in Philadelphia served as an inspiration for the books, which take place in that city.

The series is divided into four sections, one for each of the letters in the alphabet. "A" is a fictitious character that serves as the primary focus of the story.

Aria, Hanna, Alison, Emily, and Spencer are the five best friends of the Pretty Little Liars. In the "liars' wheel," Alison is a cog that knows all of their secrets. Alison goes missing one night during a sleepover; no body was ever found, and the group eventually splits up.

The story continues three years later when each of the girls begin receiving messages from someone identifying themselves as 'A' who claims to know their secrets.
