Like every other eighteen-year-old in love, Olivia has dreams of spending forever with the love of her life. Luke is all she’s ever wanted – until she overhears something she was never meant to. In a matter of seconds, Olivia’s heart is shattered. Olivia handles it the only way she knows how - she runs- leaving behind her family, friends and the boy she loves.
Seeking comfort and an escape, Olivia finds it in resident bad boy Deacon. He’s everything Luke isn’t – and that’s fine with Olivia.
Now, seven years later, Olivia is older, wiser and headed back to Chicago looking forward to a fresh start and reconnecting with her best friend Pyper. What she doesn’t expect, is to come face to face with the boy she left behind and discover that even though she may have left, her feelings for him didn’t.
Can Olivia put aside the pain in her heart and trust Luke? Will the ties to her past ever let her go, or will she continue to let her life be affected by pretty little lies?

Review
Where do I start
with this one? Ever since I read the first chapter at the end of Heidi
McLaughlin’s book, I’ve been wanting to read this! I’m so glad I got the
chance! It was exactly what I had hoped for!
Throughout the
story, the characters are very unique and very interesting. They all had
aspects that I felt like I could relate to and understand. Don’t get me wrong,
I REALLY wanted to shake Olivia at times. Heck, for that matter, I wanted to
shake Luke at times, too!
I really enjoyed
seeing how Luke fought for Olivia and he didn’t just give up when she tried
pushing her away. At times I felt as if he was a bit overbearing and forceful,
but it worked. The more I got to know Luke’s personality, the more I understood
his intentions. He’s a great guy and just wanted his girl back. I received a text from a friend when she finished reading PLL that said, "And could I get me some Luke???" <--- pretty much.
At times Olivia
REALLY frustrated me. I wanted to just knock some sense in to her and tell her
to just give it up and give Luke a chance. Although, I also am glad that she
pushed through in finding herself and establishing herself as a person. She
needed that. She needed to have a sense of independence. She’s a great girl and
has an amazing support system around her. Her relationship with Pyper as well
as all of her “dates” had me seriously laughing out loud on more than one occasion!
I will say that I
had a couple of difficulties with it. The story was fabulous, but sometimes there
were too many details. I like having an idea of what is going on, but I don’t
need every little detail. That’s not necessarily a flaw of the book because
some folks really like that, it’s just a personal preference of mine!
Oh and there’s a
cliffhanger. A huge one. So now I am sucked in and I cannot WAIT until the next
one so that I can find out how this is going to pan out for Olivia, Luke,
Pyper, & Deacon!
