The story has potential and it's sweet and clean, but the main protagonist is a bit of a Debbie Downer to be honest. I really didn't enjoy r2.5 stars.
The story has potential and it's sweet and clean, but the main protagonist is a bit of a Debbie Downer to be honest. I really didn't enjoy reading about her although I liked other characters in the books, such as her new friend Serena and her quasi-little sister, Claudette. That said, I am in no hurry to read more of these books. In fact, this one ended in such a way that another book (and another, there are like 6 more) seems unnecessary. I did like the idea of an old diary giving inspiration for new, modern adventures though. I recommend this read to young girls about 10-12 years of age....more

I am not sure I would read another book in the series. I guessed the identity of the murderer earlier on too so I would consider it very predictable. Overall, 3 stars seems more than generous....more

I ended up resenting Rachel at alternate points, hating Anna, and feeling very sorry for Megan. It was quite a page-turner. I can't wait to see what Ms. Hawkins comes up with next!...more

I liked this book, especially because the hero of the story sounded like such a sexy beast! I loved his naughty side and his sense of humor and his total devotion to the heroine from the word GO. It was a good read although the lack of breaks between scene changes was a bit jarring to me. I am considering reading the next book in the series, eventually....more
I actually read the prequel to this story, Learning to Ride, and liked it a lot better. The characters were more interesting and far more relatable. TI actually read the prequel to this story, Learning to Ride, and liked it a lot better. The characters were more interesting and far more relatable. The heroine in this story was so insecure, foolish and petty at times. And the hero wasn't exactly a hero. He had cheated on the heroine at one point which basically makes me cringe. How is that a romance novel exactly?
This book definitely wasn't a keeper and I am glad I got it when it was free on Amazon. I give it 2.5 stars, rounded up....more

I thought it was well-written and action-packed, though the continuous use of the name "Rosedale" instead of "Rosewood" (the true setting of PLL!) was disconcerting. The writer hints at the end that there could be a sequel someday but I don't know if we'll ever get to read it. It's been a longtime since this was published, but I do hope we do get a sequel someday because this story left us with several big cliffhangers.
I would be interested in reading more books by Ms. Thompson....more
