Pretty Little Liars: Book Series

Hi,
Sorry I've been away for a while!! Had an amazing Holiday in Europe then up to our holiday house for a while!! But I'm back now! Miss me?
So, over the holidays I started reading the book series of 'Pretty Little Liars' by Sara Shepard, and I am addicted! I've only read up to the 4th book but have ordered all the others! They are perfect books, they have everything; romance, scandal, drama, mystery all in the one book, and it doesn't just deal with our basic teen issues of breakups and doesn't make everything seem so easy and everyone's life is perfect or doesn't make situations to melodramatic, it's real and deals with issues in a real way, like Emily coming out and eating disorders and how hard it is on kids when their parents get divorced, sibling rivalry, and dealing with a loss. You are sucked into the story of these girls from the first mouth-watering page. It is a quick read and i finished it in 2 days of inconsistent reading, but then it is hard to put it down!
Here is the blurb for the first book:

Once close friends, life for Hanna, Aria, Spencer and Emily has changed dramatically since the disappearance of their friend Alison when the girls were in middle school. Now harboring secrets of their own, the girls have reached high school — and grown apart. As the group is reunited when Aria returns with her family from overseas, the question over what happened to Ali seems to grow stronger.
Especially when each girl begins receiving mysterious messages exposing their dirty little secrets — tidbits only one person in the world ever knew: Alison. But if their secret-keeper hasn’t been seen or heard from in years, who could possibly know about Hanna’s sudden weight loss, Aria’s secret relationship, Spencer’s affection for the wrong boy — or Emily’s own complicated feelings for a new neighbor? Who’s behind the emails, text messages and notes they begin receiving, threatening to ruin the careful facades they’ve built?

I highly recommend these books and they are right now my favourite book and I'm sure they will be for a long time.
