This is the place to discuss Wicked, the 5th book in the Pretty Little Liars series.

I can't wait to start discussing all these books

Disappointed by two references to Spencer as OCD. OCD is not a trait, it's a disorder, and Spencer has actually little in common with it. Why not just say "uptight"?

I liked Andrew/Spencer, better than Spencer/Toby on the show. And I prefer the book version of Lucas to the show one.

edit: I was also annoyed by the constant brand name dropping. Yeah, it really makes a difference if the shirt is Lacoste or something else.

I actually did really like Andrew/Spencer, I wish they would have had him as a character on the show but I guess there's still time for that, if they wanted to add it. And I do like that there's no logical reason for book Lucas being ostracized other than Ali had just decided it was so.

I think the point of the name dropping is just well so that we don't ever forget just how wealthy these kids are. It tends to happen a lot in books that are essentially about rich kids.

I wish SA could happen in canon too; I won't give up hope yet!

Agreed, also, Spencer and Hanna are more ~aware of fashion. Emily's sections have less brand name drops. I THINK Aria's do too, but I can't remember off-hand.

I really hope they'll decide to bring his character on for the show. I'd be okay with her ending up with Andrew since I doubt she'll end up with Wren. But maybe they'll save Andrew for a later season?

Yeah, Hanna and Spencer have the most name drops, and the kind of name drop depends on the girl. I felt like Emily basically didn't have them and I don't really remember them being in the Aria sections either

They were in the intro too, that was the most annoying bit.
