WANTED: It's Not A Popularity Contest...Is It?


picture of Hanna


After spending some time at the Addison-Stevens Preserve, Hanna gets the cold shoulder when she returns to Rosewood. Naomi, Kate, and Riley have decided to make Hanna's life (and her boyfriend's!) a living hell.


"Mike took Hanna's hand again.
'Aw, they're holding hands!' Riley elbowed Naomi. 'Skidz found a girl who doesn't mind his dirty undies!'
'Don't they make a cute couple?' Kate giggled. 'Skidz and Psycho!'
" ~Wanted, pp. 29-30


Later, Hanna and a friend concoct a plan to "Take Those Bitches Down"...but is it that easy?


Judging by the rules of popularity at your high school – once you've been branded an outcast, can you work your way back to the top?

Comments:

FIRST Comment...i guess....well not really....one thing i have learned, never take down the most popular girl in school....it will get you nowhere, but people who secretly hate you and your real friends who can't stand you.

LMAO @ Nicki...i agree, i used to be in the "in crowd"...but then rumors started and immediately people didn't want me around them...it was hard to speak to my friends, but i got used to it....now im in different clubs and have my own sort of friends...but it's way harder to come in than to come out...

high school is somewhat like the books but not entirely. the popular people at my school are the kids that party all the time and drink and get high. everyone knows who they are and a lot of them are jocks and cheerleaders or female athletes. everyone also knows who the geeks and nerds are by just looking at them. though there aren't any real labels, everyone knows where they stand.

in my school all the popular girls like me because i am funny and nice! although it does help that i'm really into fashion!

Posted by xxxx on June 11, 2010 at 08:12 PM EDT #

@Blah....ha...if only you knew...

Posted by Brittany on June 11, 2010 at 08:32 PM EDT #

Wait who killed Ali I can't figure it out!!! Someone plz tell me!

Posted by Calibabe on June 11, 2010 at 10:15 PM EDT #

Calibabe.....im not sure entirely since i havent read heartless but Ali's not dead... and if someone did kill her it wasnt Ian it was Jason and Wilden....DONT ASK CUZ I HAVE no IDEA WHY THEY WOULD WANT TO KILL her. :D

Posted by nayali quezada on June 11, 2010 at 10:41 PM EDT #

SPOIL alert! Calibabe.. if you havent read wanted in the end you find out that ali has a twin named courtney and courtney and ali are mixed up before that sleepover where "ali" got killed. in reality courtney was actually the one who died and ali killed her. so ali didnt die and ali hates spencer, aria, hanna, and emily and tries to kill them at the end. so in the end ali was A all along and never died. pretty much an amazing ending to that book. can someone tell me if they think there is gonna be another book who has already read wanted?!

Posted by Love on June 11, 2010 at 10:50 PM EDT #

@ LOVE no Wanted is the last book. Maybe a spin off coming though? Anyway I think that Jason and Wilden killed Ali and now Jenna because they seem way to innocent being the cop and brother. Just my thoughts about it. I want to know so badly. Will get wanted soon!!! -Jennie

Posted by Jennie on June 11, 2010 at 11:17 PM EDT #

@Jennie.. ya i know its the last book of the series but the way shepard made it sound was that ali wasnt dead so idk. and courtney was the one who died not ali so either she is dead from the house exploding at the end of wanted or she is not dead. and i think wilden and jason are suspicious but maybe they just helped ali kill courtney, ian and ruin the girls..

Posted by Love on June 11, 2010 at 11:23 PM EDT #

yah but @Love, Sara Shepard said this is the last book in the series. she had the ending like that on purpose, to make you think of all the different scenarios.

Posted by Jillian on June 12, 2010 at 04:06 AM EDT #

wow!!!!

Posted by imafan on June 12, 2010 at 09:47 AM EDT #

Honestly, being "popular" isnt the best thing. Sometimes you think oh look at that crew its full of cool people! No your Cool in your own way. Whats the point of letting people decide for you if your "cool"? Being comfortable around your group of friends should just be alright. :) So if you want to be an outcast its alright but if you want to be like everyone else well than thats your problem. Being unique is actually pretty GREAT! ^__^

Posted by Jas on June 12, 2010 at 03:49 PM EDT #

i dont get why "a" allison hated the 4 girls so much?

Posted by briianna on June 12, 2010 at 05:20 PM EDT #

SPOILER ALERT- @briianna, allison hated the girls because they ruined her lives....them and Courtney.

Posted by Brittany on June 12, 2010 at 06:13 PM EDT #

FROM A FRIEND WHO SAYS SHE "KNOWS PEOPLE", SHE SAID THAT WANTED ISN'T THE LAST BOOK.... THERE IS ANOTHER ONE COMING OUT IN JUNE CALLED TWISTED! OMGGGG ... I'M NOT ENTIRTELY SURE, BUT THATS WHAT SHE SAID ;)

Posted by SPOILER on June 12, 2010 at 06:44 PM EDT #

i'm always getting confused who is who ( ali and courtney) in the book Wanted but honestly, THEIR BOTH INSANE.... they both should'ove gotten mental help :P but i do miss the old ali and wish Sara Sheppard did a PREQUEL... that would be AMAZING ... so we could get a taste of the once real and normal ALISON DILAURENTIS :) ;)

Posted by THEdancer on June 12, 2010 at 06:47 PM EDT #

I used to be popular, than I got into an accident and things kind of went down hill. I never regained that status since I've been on Home Schooling for like....EVER!(all of High School) Who knows, Maybe College will be my time to rule as Queen Bee again! BTW, I finished the book and it was AWESOME!! I really didn't expect that, I'm still trying to figure it all out!

Posted by Leyton on June 12, 2010 at 07:25 PM EDT #

@The Dancer, I agree, it kind of lost me and I think they both are crazy!! SPOILER!! Ali pretended to be Courtney but was really Ali but wasn't the Ali they thought she was but the Ali they thought was real was actually fake and her twin sister Courtney! LMAO , I'm confused but it was great and I can't believe Ali didn't die at the end! I love it though! Imagine Sara did ONE MORE book after this? Everyone got their happy ending though....kind of!

Posted by Leyton on June 12, 2010 at 07:27 PM EDT #

@Spoiler Are you serious? Please tell me it is true!

Posted by Leyton on June 12, 2010 at 07:55 PM EDT #

At my high school you never can move up your status. If your branded and outcast you stay one. I used to be the second most popular girl at my school and people sucked up to me and my most popular BFF Allison. But when Allison moved I was outted from the popular group. They never had liked me and only kept me in cause I was her BFF but once she moved there was no need for me. Those girls still hate me and make my life misrable. So honestly status stays and what the popular people want they get. Once you get outed though you realize that they had lied to you for years. Its hard to find new friends but its worth it because they will actually like you.

So Ru guys popular at ur skl

Posted by Calibabe on June 12, 2010 at 10:46 PM EDT #

sicksicksick that's all that can describe this book definently my all time favorite pretty little liars book though BEAUTIFUL conclusion and the ending was great <3 I STILL can't believe the whole Courtney and ali thing like omg

Posted by abrielle on June 13, 2010 at 12:36 AM EDT #

OMG!!! Mike and Hanna make the cuh-ustest couple!

Posted by Abby on June 13, 2010 at 09:48 AM EDT #

@Leyton SPOILER ALERTTT Ali did die though, in the fire there's no way she could of made that it was a huge explosion and theres no more books so I assume she did die. and @Abby I love them and Noel and Aria and also Andrew and Spencer haha

Posted by abrielle on June 13, 2010 at 02:49 PM EDT #

@Spolier....someone told me they're might be another book called Twisted as well....i don't know, but that sounds cool.

Posted by Brittany on June 13, 2010 at 02:53 PM EDT #

i just finished wanted today and i was SHOCKED! it was so good! SPOILER ALERT: but i think there should be another book, just to clarify whether or not alison was actually dead, because it was unclear if she was actually dead in the fire. i still have hope that she is alive, and that would be a great twist! but, i dont understand why alison tried to kill the girls, cause they never did anything wrong to her/courtney. alison is just nuts!

Posted by jasmine on June 13, 2010 at 04:36 PM EDT #

omg! i did not read any of the books but i saw the ad on tv and watched the first episode like a bunch of times i love the storyline i was so curious that i went online to look and peak! im a little confussed with characters because i dont no anyone besides the 5 girls, mona melissa melissas fianci, the english teacher, the brother, all the girls parents, maya, the cops. i dont no if there going to do the same idea on teevee with courtney and how mona was a and im so confussed i hope alison isnt dead on the final episode! BUT when i saw the episode my first suspicion was mona! because the second time i watched it she was looking in her bag like she was on her phone when aria got the text about the teacher! & i dont no the whole story with jenna fill me in girls!

Posted by kristina on June 13, 2010 at 05:51 PM EDT #

Just finished reading WANTED!! I liked it but there's some things unclear. Like what happen to Leah? How was Ian killed? In the the first book Why did Spencer saw blond hair in Maya's room? How Jenna was Killed? And I really think Tobby was Killed. Like why the two of them were dead?(Tobby and Jenna) What was it that Tobby knew that he never got the chance to say to Emily. Remember he was banging on Emily's door saying he needed to tell her something. I liked the last book but, there are things unclear. I think we need a 9th book.

Posted by Pamela on June 13, 2010 at 06:24 PM EDT #

Oh my god i just finished wanted and it was amazing!!! i totally didnt expect that to happen!! it was soo good!! I was a little confused though about the "for those who fogret"thingy. also, did sarah no that was how everything was going to end from when she wrote the first book? and i'm also curious about The Lying Game, the new series sara is writing- any details you could give us?? thanks much!!! Kisses! Jill <3

Posted by Jill on June 13, 2010 at 06:49 PM EDT #

@spoiler- well, actually, i think your friend might have mixed a few things up... because you're comment said that twisted is supposed to come out in june, but wanted came out in june and was originally called twisted, not wanted. so i think whoever told you that just misread or heard something wrong. but, who knows, maybe i am wrong and there will be another pll book! let's all cross our fingers!! also, i personally think it would be cool if sara wrote a book, or a maybe even a page or two to post on the web of the pretty little liars story from alison's perspective. I'm very curious as to what she was thinking and how she did all of those nasty things to the girls and all of those other people.

Posted by Jill on June 13, 2010 at 07:01 PM EDT #

If Brittney Spears can do it, ANYONE CAN.

Posted by Tia on June 13, 2010 at 07:24 PM EDT #

wow but i think hannah should be able to cream down naomi reilay and kate and make them the losers of the school, with a's help

Posted by Oriaaa on June 13, 2010 at 08:39 PM EDT #

Sara told someone on twitter that the ending was your interpretation meaning you can come up with your own ending about like SPOILER ALERT: ali actually being dead or who/what emily heard in the cemetery. @ Pamela wasn't Ian killed by ali? and @Jasmine she killed the girls because they ruined her life. Ali's parents mixed up Courtney and her because of them cause Courtney went outside the time the girls came to steal the time capsule flag remember? So Ali got sent away instead of Courtney and so therefore C took over ali's "perfect" life but you're right she is nuts. (btw sorry if that was confusing)

Posted by abrielle on June 13, 2010 at 08:41 PM EDT #

it depends how popular you are. i am in the in-crowd. and i know alot of people who would want to be. if you are named outsider, your going to have to work SO hard to make it back on top. NOTE: being popular isn't easy. sometimes i wish i wasn't, but i was raised that way, and that's how i'll live. i cant live without it. you have to know if its worth it. and you have to play your cards right. if you say one wrong thing, your out for the day, or week, or month depending on what you said or did. if you can live without it, its not worth it. if you need it go for it. but know that you will have to make SO many sacrifices. before you start trying, make sure its what you really want xoxo -A

Posted by Allie on June 13, 2010 at 10:39 PM EDT #

Well all of you are stupid aka nerds to even read the book....i only know whats happing cuase i know 1 of the actors on the show and they were supposed to read the book and she told me about it

Posted by amazing person on June 13, 2010 at 11:19 PM EDT #

ali is actually her twin sister courtney. courtney pretends to be ali the whole time the girls are friends. it wanted ali come back and tells the girls she is the real ali(she actually is) when "ali" who is actually courtney went missing in the seventh grade it was ali who killed her.

Posted by Kathy on June 13, 2010 at 11:29 PM EDT #

@Abrielle Maybe but did you read the last chapter of the book! The part about people claiming to see Ali and than the part where she mentions the girl who has that smile that said she knew everything and how she would become your bestfriend and yada yada yada. Plus didnt they say they didn't find a body? IDK It was awesome though! Im still is shock!

Posted by Leyton on June 13, 2010 at 11:30 PM EDT #

From what i understand sara is contemplating writing ali's diary to give an insight to ali. And no there isnt a 9th book. Wicked was just originally called twisted. I know this cuz i met with her tonight at our local book store. :)

Posted by Anna on June 13, 2010 at 11:34 PM EDT #

@Leyton oh yeah that's true I really didn't understand the last chapter though so I kind of just ignored it but yeah ahah you could be right, even though the fireman said no one could of survived that explosion but you never know!

Posted by abrielle on June 14, 2010 at 12:18 AM EDT #

EVERYONE STOP SPOILING THE BOOK FOR EVERYONE ELSE!

Posted by Morgan on June 14, 2010 at 07:35 AM EDT #

But why was Mona A the first time? And how did she know the secrets?

Posted by Cookies on June 14, 2010 at 10:01 AM EDT #

i know about ali and her twin and everything, but im just confused about who died in the well. because i thought it was courtney's body in the backyard

Posted by rachel on June 14, 2010 at 10:51 AM EDT #

Courtneys body is in the backyard. Go on wikipedia

Posted by PLL on June 14, 2010 at 12:56 PM EDT #

pll; alison was the one who killed courtny couse well i forgot

Posted by jenna on June 14, 2010 at 08:46 PM EDT #

I have a question. How did Ali got Courtney's diary if the police had it? I know Mona was A because of the Diary that Courtney left, but the diary was supposed to be with the police. Why does Ali say that she thanks courtney for the diary, if at that time she was at the preserve.

Posted by Pamela on June 14, 2010 at 10:02 PM EDT #

I think it depends on the people in the in-crowd. Everyone has a chance to be popular, it depends on whether or not their peers accept them. And i never understood why people try so hard to be popular because it means that you are well known, not that you are well-liked or have a lot of friends. People change as years go on and friends change, so you never know who is going to be at "the top of the social-ladder"

Posted by Anna on June 15, 2010 at 10:31 AM EDT #

so when did courtney and ali switch rings? was it before or after ali/courtney became friends with spencre aria hanna and emily? and where was ali the whole time courtney was pretending to be ali? did ali WANT to switch rings????!!!!

Posted by Shelby on June 16, 2010 at 10:10 AM EDT #

oh yeah and isnt Sara Shepard gonna make another series about lying or something like that?

Posted by Shelby on June 16, 2010 at 10:13 AM EDT #

What pretty little liar r u most like???

Posted by Calibabe on June 17, 2010 at 07:55 AM EDT #

I have not read heartless or wanted, but I'm thinking that Alison had a twin. It would explain a lot. Also, I think that the whole Jason and the cop working together is not true... I don't know though. :D

Posted by Molly :D on June 29, 2010 at 08:44 AM EDT #

I haven't read Wanted, but I seriously doubt Billy Ford is the killer. I mean, he's so random. Sara Shepard is too good of an author too be one of those type of authors, who just randomly does that. I know [from a spoiler...THANKS A LOT FOR THE SPOILER ALERT WARNING BTW] that she has a twin. And that it's Courtney. I suspected Iris would be her long lost sis or something since she's blonde too and reminded Hannah of Ali, but Courtney?! I was wondering why she was mentioned! UGHH THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME! I HAVE TO READ WANTED! NOW.

Posted by Rosie on July 02, 2010 at 01:28 AM EDT #

you guys are all just gonna have to wait, i'm just gonna say that it has an amazing ending. this series and the rest of the series coming out.
