WANTED: Simple Living

Posted at 10:20AM Jun 06, 2010 by The Little Liar in General


During Heartless, Emily takes a little trip to one of the Pennsylvania area’s most notable attractions...Amish Country. There, she meets Lucy Zook, whose sister, Leah, disappeared around the same time as Ali.


Coincidence?


Leah was dating Darren Wilden.


Still think it's a coincidence?


"Horribly, it all fit. It explained why Leah had never been found. It explained why Ali showed up in the woods, and why Wilden was dissuading the police force from investigating the possibility that Ali was alive – if they realized it wasn't her body in the hole, they'd have to figure out whose body it was. It was why Wilden didn't believe in A and didn't buy that Ian knew a secret about what happened that night. A had been right all along – there had been a secret. But it wasn't about Ali's death. It was about who had been killed in Ali's place." ~Heartless, p. 203


What do you think of this line of reasoning? Is Emily right? Or simply off her handmade wooden rocker?

You guys are gonna love wanted, there's such a good twist in it!!(: I got it yesterday at Barnes&Noble when I met Sara Shepard and all the PLL's!!

Posted by Diannaa on June 06, 2010 at 12:43 PM EDT #

I think it is pretty good reasoning. So anyway, my mom had to go to Barnes and Noble yesterday and I asked if they had Wanted early. They didn't. :( Guess i'll just have to wait!

Posted by Justine on June 06, 2010 at 01:14 PM EDT #

Ummm... ok Diannaa. I think Sara would have told us if she and the cast of Pretty Little Liars were going to a Barnes and Noble store. Nice try though.

Posted by Justine on June 06, 2010 at 01:16 PM EDT #

Justine, they were at a bookstore in Los Angeles yesterday. I dont remember which store, but they were there to meet people. I wanted to, but wasn't able, to go. So Diannaa is teling the truth.

Posted by xxxx on June 06, 2010 at 02:49 PM EDT #

@Justine If you visit the ABC Family site, in the pretty little liars section, you'll see i'm not lying!! They were at the Barnes&Noble at the Grove in L.A!! Sara signed my copy of WANTED, and Lucy Hale, Ashely Benson, Troian Bellisario, and Shay Mitchell signed posters!! And Sara did tell us she was gonna be there, so did all the girls...

Posted by Diannaa on June 06, 2010 at 03:34 PM EDT #

Hey just wondering...but in the final book do we find out who A was?

Posted by Spencer on June 06, 2010 at 05:21 PM EDT #

Yes Spencer, we do.

Posted by Jillian on June 06, 2010 at 06:28 PM EDT #

UGGGGGHHH!! I'm soo maaaad :( I didn't have money to buy Wanted for that matter and now i'm not even aloud to read it untill after exams , which is June 17th for me :( massave sad face. I really want some spoilers but i don't want the book to be ruined if you know what i mean. I made my friend read the last page and then when she said something about Ali i had to read the last page too (she doesn't read the books so she didn't know anything lol) But when i read the last page it had nothing really so i'm in the exact same place freakinnnnng ouuuut! :(

Posted by Izzy on June 06, 2010 at 07:19 PM EDT #

so who is A?????!!!!! i dont care if its a spoiler!!!! please tell me!!!! PLZ!!!!!!??????

Posted by Bekah on June 06, 2010 at 07:28 PM EDT #

Thanks Jillian...wanna give me a hint who it mite be?

Posted by Spencer on June 06, 2010 at 07:39 PM EDT #

I read the first chapter of Wanted and its in Spencers point of view and it said Billy Ford was taking pictures of them the night Ali went missing!

Posted by M&A&R&I&E& on June 06, 2010 at 07:42 PM EDT #

and was melissa involved at all? cuse i always thought she was the one who killed ali

Posted by Spencer on June 06, 2010 at 07:53 PM EDT #

GUYS LISTEN!!! I HAVE THE IPAD AND ON IT YOU COULD GET A SAMPLE DOWNLOAD OF WANTED, WHICH HAS THE ENTIRE PROLOGUE AND FIRST CHAPTER. IN THE PROLOGUE THE GIRLS ARE IN SPENCER'S BARN (ITS THE NIGHT ALI DISAPPEARED) AND SOMEONE IS OUTSIDE TAKING PICTURES OF THEM ON A POLAROID CAMERA. THEN IN THE FIRST CHAPTER THE NEWS SAID THE PICS WERE FOUND IN BILLY'S CAR. IT SAYS THE PERSON WAS OFF TO FOLLOW ALI DOWN THE PATH AT THE END OF PROLOGUE. WHO DO YOU THINK THIS MYSTERY PERSON IS??????

Posted by Em <333 on June 06, 2010 at 08:18 PM EDT #

Can someone who read WANTED give me a small hint at who A is?? Nothing to give it away though lol, thanks :)

Posted by Em <333 on June 06, 2010 at 08:26 PM EDT #

Heyy Izzy!! I just changed my name to Em <333 btw :) Sorry I didn't see your post on the other blog!! Tell me your theories I don't have WANTED yet either!!! Read my post above & then we'll talk <3 ^^

Posted by Em <333 on June 06, 2010 at 08:31 PM EDT #

Why is WANTED called WANTED? Can someone please tell me if it doesn't give too much away? Thanks ahead of time =)

Posted by Em <333 on June 06, 2010 at 09:42 PM EDT #

I'm confused. The release date for Wanted is June 8th, but I saw it at book stores and already bought it. Why did it come out early?

Posted by Britt on June 06, 2010 at 09:43 PM EDT #

OMG WHERE DID YOU GET IT BRITT??? WHAT STATE DO YOU LIVE IN?

Posted by Em <333 on June 06, 2010 at 09:56 PM EDT #

illinois. it was on sale in chicago.

Posted by Britt on June 06, 2010 at 10:24 PM EDT #

My cousin went to get her signed in California, yesterday as well....she was on vacation and she got me a poster... I don't care about if Ali died or not....i just wanna know who A is...ugh...i hope my Borders doesn't have it sold out....

Posted by Nicki on June 06, 2010 at 10:28 PM EDT #

why did borders release it early? i didn't go to the special event or anything. it was just at my bookstore.

Posted by Britt on June 06, 2010 at 10:35 PM EDT #

SPOILERS!!! oh my god i loved it so much! i literally read it all in like 2 hours..and i knew ali had a twin! and i figured the one of them did something to the other because i knew sara wouldn't have put "ali killed ali" without having a meaning behind it. and the end!!!!!!! is there going to be more? i know it said it was your last book, but possibly a spin off could happen? i want to know what happened to ali..and i still have so many questions like how she got the diary and wish we knew more about her relations with her family and stuff. but thank you so much for a series i loved, can't wait to see what more you offer

Posted by georgia on June 07, 2010 at 12:08 AM EDT #

SPOILERS! I finished reading wanted yesterday and I still have some of questions. 1. What happened to Leah? 2. Is Jason related to Spencer and Melissa too? 3. How did Mona and Ali come together to be A? 4. Did the DiLaurentis family know that Ali killed Courtney? I hope Sara writes a book from either Ali's or Courtney's point of view, Ali's diary, or a book about what happened after everything!

Posted by Riss on June 07, 2010 at 12:19 AM EDT #

sara shepard if u read this u cant stop the seris ill like die if u do u can like make alis diary and do ones about ali and courtney....but im really upset cause i cant drive yet and nobody in my family will take me to see if any stores have wanted in my town :'( please someone spoil for me

Posted by kinsley on June 07, 2010 at 01:28 AM EDT #

SPOILER: A is who we orginally thought she was in the first book. I'm still amazed at Wanted. It was soooo good! But it was also a bit confusing. Ugh!!! Why doesthe series have to end???

Posted by B on June 07, 2010 at 01:49 AM EDT #

does this mean that the new A is Ali? Like...were mona and Ali teaming up together when mona was still alive as being A? and then when Mona died, Ali continued being A? I dont even have the book yet, just guessing? please help me with spoilers!

Posted by rachel on June 07, 2010 at 03:24 PM EDT #

@Em <333 , hahah i like the name change :) and yes i read the prologue too and it was really creepy and awesome at the same time *****SPOILER for the prologue***** I can't believe someone would do that and didn't it say that Ali saw who it was? Meaning she new the person. I read some peoples thoughts and they said they still have a lot of questions.. I hope that isn't the case for us :( Do you have any idea what happened with Naomi and Riley? I had a feeling Ali had a twin but it still doesn't really make sence what happened with them. I also hope we figure out whats with Melissa and Kate. Please tell me your ideaaaaas :)

Posted by Izzy on June 07, 2010 at 03:36 PM EDT #

OMGGG GUYS! I JUST CALLED BARNES AND NOBLE AND THEY HAVE WANTED! I FLIPPPEDDD OUT! haha the lady was like "sweetie...calm down..." haha ok so anyways yea im pretty sure in the prologure (i read it online) that person who is taking pics and stuff is NOT Billy Ford...its someone else. im not sure yet. but if u no please dont post it on here. i want to be surprised! :)

Posted by rachel on June 07, 2010 at 03:47 PM EDT #

@Izzy - Thanksss haha ;) I think that Naomi and Riley knew about Ali's twin Courtney and then they tried to use it against her in some way, and THAT'S why she ditched them. The blonde girl in the pic A sent Emily with Ali and Jenna was definitely Ali's twin! I don't what to think of Melissa, I REALLY believe she has something to do with what happened but I'm not sure what...Kate is just the bitchy stepsister lol, do you think she has any real part in the mystery? I'm gonna go check if Wanted was released on my iPad yet :D

Posted by Em <333 on June 07, 2010 at 04:00 PM EDT #

UGHHH I have to wait till midnight :( I pre-ordered it though lmao :)

Posted by Em <333 on June 07, 2010 at 04:10 PM EDT #

I'm so confused about this storyline.

Posted by Nicki on June 07, 2010 at 05:58 PM EDT #

I never really thought Iris had something to do with the main line like being Ali's sisster. All my friends said I was wrong for thinking that but Sara would not make it soo obvious! I mean somethings were a lil obvious but I new she was just setting us off trrack cuz no one would ever suspect Iris's old room mate to have anything to do with ALi or her murdder.

Posted by M&A&R&I&E& on June 07, 2010 at 06:31 PM EDT #

OH MY GOD how did you guys get it early?!! im FREAKING out about tomorrow aahhhhhhh!!!!!!! any way you can read past chapter 1 online? god i sooo need to know NOW! i may actually skip school to get it tomorrow...thats how obsessed i am!!! but HOW DO YOU GET IT EARLY? pre-order? what???

Posted by abby on June 07, 2010 at 07:46 PM EDT #

i am too!! i really don't understand alot of it!! i would realllly appreciate if someone could tell me what's happened so far in the book!! thanks!!

Posted by anj on June 07, 2010 at 08:08 PM EDT #

abby - some books stores released it early, it's all a matter of luck and timing. i'm also obsessed and went to barnes and noble on sunday but they had 0 in stock :( i pre-ordered it on my iPad so at midnight i'll have it!!!

Posted by Em <333 on June 07, 2010 at 08:33 PM EDT #

Is Killer or Heartless a better book? I havnt read either yet, but I want to know whether they're both excellent.

Posted by Ellie on June 07, 2010 at 11:51 PM EDT #

"proceed any revealing comment with SPOILER ALERT." Seriously? 'Proceed' and 'precede' are two entirely different words with two entirely different meanings. You picked the wrong one. You'd think someone paid to write this blog would also be paid to proofread.

Posted by Laura on June 08, 2010 at 06:07 AM EDT #

omg i cant get the books right now it totallllly sucks but i really want to know who A is. im like 100% percent sure that ali has a twin, i figured that earlier. but i think her twin killed her. pleaseeee someone tell me. and if you dont want to tell me onhere email @ michaylahjoy@gmail.com please :) :) :) thanks.!!!!!!!!

Posted by miki on June 08, 2010 at 09:19 AM EDT #

so who is courtny...?

Posted by miki on June 08, 2010 at 09:27 AM EDT #

@Justine Looks like Dianaa was telling the truth http://justjaredjr.buzznet.com/2010/06/07/pretty-little-liars-are-grove-gorgeous/

Posted by Victoria on June 08, 2010 at 03:11 PM EDT #

SPOILER:.....HaHa i was right all along about courtney

Posted by Alexis on June 08, 2010 at 04:19 PM EDT #

OMG it was Emily!!!

Posted by j on June 08, 2010 at 05:58 PM EDT #

What was EMILY????

Posted by M&A&R&I&E& on June 08, 2010 at 06:06 PM EDT #

***Spoiler Warning!*** Wow. What a good ending! I'm not sure if Mona and Ali were ever working together, or if Ali just got the idea from Mona. Maybe Sara will answer that for us? I loved the way everything ended for the girls, especially the part about them all continuing to be friends after everything they've gone through. If Sara decided to do the diary (which we now know was actually Courtney's way of keeping track of everything) that would probably answer some of the questions we still have. I want to know if Courtney really tried to drown Ali, and if everything she said in the letter was true. I was a little confused with what Spencer finally remembered from that night.

Posted by Sarah on June 08, 2010 at 06:28 PM EDT #

***Spoiler Warning!*** The other thing that bothered me was when Ali said that Jason never went to visit her. It seemed to me that meant that he knew Courtney was at home with them, and that Ali was really in the mental hospital. So why would he have told Melissa that he suspected Courtney of killing Ian in revenge? I guess it's possible that he was lying so she wouldn't think that he knew about the switch in the first place. Still, you would think that the parents would have some clue of which daughter was which. Kinda sad, really.

Posted by Sarah on June 08, 2010 at 06:31 PM EDT #

**SPOILER ALERT** Wow. That had to be one of THE craziest twists I've ever read in a series. I'm still reeling from it! The twin situation definitely explains "Ali's" ridiculous treatment of Spencer and the others in middle school. Someone would have to be twisted enough to emotionally manipulate people like Courtney did. At least Ali seemed like the typical mean popular girl; Courtney took the role too far. Even though both sisters were insane/really awful, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for them. @Riss on question 2: I'm pretty sure Jason is NOT related to Spencer and Melissa. In Heartless, the emphasis was on the fact that Alison did not resemble Mr. DiLaurentis at all, compared to Jason.

Posted by Lisa on June 08, 2010 at 10:11 PM EDT #

*** NEW *** ohkay so im new to all of this and im just now watching the show but so far im just lured into the story , i really want to go and get all the books now because this ( a ) character is reakky intriguing me , idkk at first ithought it was allison not really dead but since the funeral on the show im just astounded , icant wait for the next episode !

Posted by Brianna on June 09, 2010 at 01:37 AM EDT #

***SPOILER ALERT***does annybodyy have ANY idea about the meaning of the last chapter in Wanted!! all i could think was that all those names were sooo similar in letters to Ali's (alison dilaurentis) it only makes me think it could carry over into the new series Sara Shepherd will be writing (The Lying Game) idk but after everything was so finally tied up and finished, that was almost like a hanging ending leading into another book... :)

Posted by Marissa on June 09, 2010 at 07:13 PM EDT #

SPOILER @Marissa... The meaning of the last chapter in Wanted was to leave everyone hanging. When Emily was visiting Ali (technically Courtney's) grave and in the last sentence she heard the wind.. and then it said "Or was it?" ... that was supposed to leave you wondering if it was Ali or not. And then the last section about a new girl in the class was supposed to make you think like Ali was the new girl at a different school and the girl that Ali noticed knew that she looked familiar from the news , milk cartons, etc. And even the 3 names were meant to sound like Alison DiLaurentis but the girl was resembling the title of the chapter "Those Who Forget The Past" because in a way she was ignoring everything that had happened, leading you to think that Pretty Little liars is going to repeat itself.

Posted by Rena on June 09, 2010 at 08:24 PM EDT #

If you are looking for a hint, here it is: Who killed Ali? Ali did but it's twisted. You have it all wrong; it's not a normal murder. and... Alison is NOT who she claims to be. If you haven't read Wanted, you probably have the night Alison went missing all wrong. Alison might not be the main character of the story after all.

Posted by Anna on June 13, 2010 at 05:29 PM EDT #

I JUST finished wanted. But i have a lot of questions which were not answered in the books...(SPOILER ALERT)such as: Why were Jenna and Maya so close? Who was Kate talking to on the phone when Hana caught her saying "Its almost time. It'll work. I cant wait!" and cackling? How did Leah Zook die? If Courtney swapped rings with Ali, to make it look like it was her, then why did Spencer say that she saw a C on the fake Alis (courtneys) finger , and the real Ali outside had an A. And why did fake Ali have an A on her finger the night she died?

Posted by xoxopllxoxo on June 26, 2010 at 05:11 AM EDT #

When Courtney (real Ali) convinced Aria that she was Ali in the woods, she said that she remembered drawing the wishing well on her time capsule flag. But later, she says that the REAL Courtney (fake Ali) drew the wishing well on her time capsule flag, which annoyed her. How does this make sense? Why was Wilden acting crazy the day that he drove Hana home? How did the real Ali know that Mona was A, and how did she get the diary if the police had taken it? When Hana remembers how she went to dinner with Kate and Isabel, and Mona only knew she was with her dad but not that she was with ate. She got a text from A saying Sean was with Aria at foxy but the only way that mona could have known about kate and isabel was if mona and kate talked beforehand. Can someone clear this up? Why are there a lot of texts from A with fake clues like someone in your life is not what they seem to Hana and look in the mirror to Spencer and she sees Melissa?

Posted by xoxopllxoxo on June 26, 2010 at 05:11 AM EDT #

wait so which one died, courtney or ali?
