So I don’t have too much to offer this week with “Pretty Little Liars.” Some show thoughts, then just quick book musings at the end (no spoilers unfortunately, still not there!)

The girls made their bench for Allison in town, and then decided to block all unknown texts to cut off A. Unfortunately it didn’t work. She/he put the photos in Emily’s chem book, dedicated a song to her BFF Hanna on the radio, sent Aria’s mom a letter telling her about her husbands affair (and to ask Aria as she knew about it) and finally broke into Spencer’s house and wrote “It won’t be that easy bitches” on the mirror in Allison’s shade of lipstick.

Other little things happened in the episode. Ezra got a little heated with Aria in class (in the book she uses that other student who likes her to make Ezra jealous). Hannah met her dad for the first time since he walked out on them . . . and he brought his new fiance and step-daughter with him (in the book Hannah meets them when she’s still fat, the father is so cruel with fat jokes she never saw them again and it was what caused her to become bulimic). Emily and Maya continued their flirtations as Emily became more comfortable, and Wren pursued Spencer . . . even breaking into her house.

I feel like this episode was all about the typewriter in Ezra’s place. They made it a point to show it . . . a lot. At the end Aria’s mom got a typed note revealing the dad’s affair . . . hmm? In the book a lot of “A’s” message are notes, not just texts. They get notes, emails, a lot of stuff.

I’m actually half way, or a little over, through the book. They haven’t even found Allison’s body yet either! Most of the book has built each characters back story and then their notes from “A.” I get with the show they had to make it a murder mystery and fast though. They also seem to taking the back stories and making them present. I just wonder how much from book one they can squeeze into this first season? I guess we’ll see.
