Perfect (Pretty Little Liars Book 3) Part 1: Aria's Goth Phase

This episode covers chapters 1-19.

We're finally starting to get some character progression, but the glacial pace is starting to wear on us. We discuss why half of the characters could be removed from the book, Emily's horrible horrible time, Spencer's time in therapy, and our enjoyment of Aria's adventures.

Next reading: Chapter 20-the end of the book.
