And after seven years of dedicating Tuesday nights to the liars of Rosewood, Pretty Little Liars has come to an end. It all started during our middle school years when ABC Family, now Freeform, introduced a new series about the mysterious incident involving the possible death of the young and glamorous, Alison DiLaurentis, a.k.a. Ali. Before her disappearance, she racked up an unusual group of ringleaders consisting of a die-hard overachiever, a free spirited teen who hooked up with her English teacher, a former "hefty" girl who shoplifted to relieve her pain, and a closeted lesbian. Not only did these high school girls have to deal with the loss of the new best friend, but they had a blackmailing stalker worse than Gossip Girl who went by "A."
Who would of thought that after 160 episodes, Ali would return from the "dead" and propose to Emily. Spencer had an evil, blackmailing identical twin who managed to sleep with her boyfriend, Toby. Aria married Ezra, her high school English teacher. Hanna stayed together with the notorious computer hacker, Caleb, and is having their baby. Outside of the liars, the crAzy chick, Mona and the strange blind girl, Jenna, ended up being the good guys. Plot twists everywhere.
And if you were really obsessed with Pretty Little Liars, you binge-read the books as soon they came out. Thank you Sara Shepard!
So there'll be no more catchy hashtags for season finales #WorldWarA, no more idolizing over their stylish wardrobe, no more cliffhangers and suspense, no more creepy dolls, no more PLL group chats with your BFFs, and no more unanswered plot lines, yet the curiosity lives on. But we can still fantasize over dating Toby, Caleb, Ezra, Ali, Wren, Jason, and all the other hot characters from this show.
Goodbye Rosewood, your high school and police department needs a lot of work and unfortunately, did not get better with the jump forward in time. But we will miss your attractive and clueless police officers.
Goodbye Radley, you were creepy and certainly did not help your patients correctly. Thank you for causing me to be too scared to sleep at night.
Goodbye Ali, thank you for disappearing and gracing us with your presence, soft voice, and confusing actions. You were the one who brought us altogether.
Goodbye Spencer, Aria, Hanna, and Emily. Thank you for growing up with us and showing us the true meaning of friendship. We still don't know how you defeated A.
Goodbye I. Marlene King, thank you for creating this wonderful television show with twists and turns every single episode. There were times when we doubted you, but you managed to keep us watching for seven years.
And a final goodbye to A: we certainly won't miss you, but we know that you will never leave us.
