Wanted Finished-Twisted Starting

     I finally finished Wanted, and let me tell you, I was not expecting what happened! It was revealed that the girl that had been friends with Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer wasn't Ali at all, but it was Courtney! There is a long story going behind this including a letter given to the girls from "A" aka Ali but that would spoil too much! Basically, the real Ali tried to kill all the girls and Spencer's sister, Melissa. Ali also killed everyone else mentioned throughout the book including Ian and Jenna.  And in the end, Ali supposedly died in a fire that was meant to kill all the girls, but in my opinion this sounds a little too good to be true. For someone who has brilliantly put all this mayhem together and perfectly constructed and completed all of her evil tasks, it seems a little too easy for her to just die in a fire she started. 
     I started the next book in the series, Twisted. In the prologue, the girls were closer than ever. They all went on a vacation together and had a lot of fun! But something unusual happened. Emily said she saw Ali while everyone was eating dinner. The prologue briefly ended and she wasn't mentioned again. I started the first chapter in the book which was set ten months later and now the girls have drifted apart again which is really unfortunate in my opinion because they always were really good friends and now they aren't.
     The prompt I have chose is a character prompt, which asks how the character has changed and what they've done to change my opinion of them. Well, again there are 4 main characters and they have grown quite a bit. In the first book, they all seemed very childish and young but now it seems like they have grown a lot from what they first were. This is because they have gone through so much! Hanna saw her best friend die. Emily has gotten her heart broken one too many times. Spencer is going through very unimaginable difficult times with her family, with her dad cheating on her mom with Ali's mom meaning Ali, Courtney, and Jason are all Spencer's half siblings. And Aria with her mom's horrible boyfriend and living with her father and father's fiance who her dad cheated with while married to her mom. All these girls have gone through a lot of things adults haven't even gone through and they're only in high school.  My opinions have changed about them. I feel sympathy for them with everything they are going through and sometimes I honestly get annoyed with them. They are so gullible and don't really learn from their mistakes. Even though they know how dangerous and how much A lies, they still believe every word A says. They also take all these risks that you know are always going to end badly.
     Over all, this is definitely my favorite book series, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to find a good book to dig in and commit to!
