Pretty Little Liars - Book 8 - Wanted by Sara Shepard
In the Conclusion to the series, Mrs. DiLaurentis reveals that Ali has a twin named Courtney who did not live with the family due to health problems. Courtney was hospitalized at the Radley. The weekend the "pretty little liars" show up in the backyard, Courtney had been home so she would be switched to the Preserve. However, she and Ali had been fighting because Courtney stole Ali's ring, the one monogrammed with the letter A (the ring that was previously used to identify Ali's body) and when she was given the opportunity, she snuck into the backyard to talk to Spencer, Emily, Hanna, and Aria (the night that the four of them had tried to steal Ali's flag piece) and pretended to be Ali. In the mean time, Alison was inside trying to persuade her parents that she was Ali, but since that was always Courtney's act -pretending to be Ali- they didn't believe her and swiped Ali off to The Preserve Addison-Stevens (the mental hospital where Hanna stayed later in the books) instead.
In present time, Courtney slowly attempts to befriend Spencer, Aria, Hanna, and Emily, and they all bond with her except for Aria, who is suspicious, after finding Polaroids from the night of the sleepover, including one of the person taking the pictures (reflected in a window). The person is definitely not Billy Ford, but a woman. Though the picture is blurry, Spencer is scared that it might be her sister Melissa.
Ali eventually tells them all that she is not in fact, Courtney, but Ali. She explains that on the night of the seventh grade sleepover, she ran into the house, and Courtney came outside; consequently, Billy Ford, the suspected murderer of Ali, killed the wrong sister. She continues to say that while she tried to convince her parents that she was Ali afterward, they still believed that she was Courtney and shipped her off to a mental hospital. Eventually, they all believe her, and after going to a big Rosewood Day dance, they go off to Ali's vacation home in the Poconos.
The finale takes place there, when Ali admits that she wants to erase the last 7th grade sleepover forever, by reenacting it. Ali hypnotizes them, as before, but instead of stopping her, this time Spencer is catapulted back into the memory of that night in 7th grade. She pays close attention, and notices that Ali is wearing her monogrammed ring, except it displays the initial "C", instead of "A", revealing that it is Courtney hypnotizing them, not Ali. Ali, meanwhile, is outside the barn, taking the Polaroids, and wearing the "A" ring. The Polaroid Aria found was of Ali, not Melissa, but as Melissa and Ali have the same father, they look enough alike to be mistaken for each other. In Spencer's memory, Ali slams the door, at the same time as she does it in real life. She is jolted awake, and realizes, along with the others after she wakes them up, that Ali is gone, and they are locked in.
The girls find a letter under the door, addressed to "Four Bitches" and from "A." Slowly, the letter reveals the entire truth. The night Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna tried to steal Ali's flag, Courtney really did intervene and pretend to be Ali, while the real Ali was shipped away. Courtney obtained Ali's entire life and personality, while Ali's attempts to let her parents know what was really happening went unheard. They realize that they never even really knew Ali. The tight-knit bond they had cultivated was actually with Courtney. On the night of the 7th grade sleepover, the real Ali was, indeed, home for a trial basis to see if she had become better, and she was able to see exactly what Courtney had done with her life. Infuriated at Courtney's foolish fling with Ian Thomas, clumsy blinding of Jenna Cavanaugh and dumping of Riley and Naomi, along with the fact she had been placed in the Preserve for years because of Courtney, Ali makes a snap decision to get revenge. After Courtney and Spencer argued about the blinds, and Courtney left the barn, Ali pushed her into the half dug hole, killing her (hence the medium Aria saw saying "Ali killed Ali"). The body they found was Courtney's, but dismissed as Alison's as they had the same DNA and dental records, due to being twins. After Mona died, Ali took over and became A. Her mission: to get revenge on the Pretty Little Liars because she resented the fact that Courtney dumped Ali's popular friends to befriend complete losers, and because the girls visiting to steal Ali's flag gave Courtney her chance to take over Ali's life in the first place.
Back to present, Ali sets fire to the house with the intent of killing the "pretty little liars", who are locked inside. They manage to escape through the hidden staircase that Aria remembers from a previous stay in the Poconos with Ali, but after a feverish though quick interrogation by Emily, Ali remains trapped in the house. After the fire, firefighters fail to recover Ali's body. But at the end there are a few unsettling hints saying that Ali is still alive. Meanwhile, Aria reconciles with Noel Kahn, her boyfriend (whom Ali previously kissed to make Aria think Noel was a cheater), and tells her mother, Ella, about the times Ella's boyfriend, Xavier hit on her, causing Ella to dump him, making Aria more comfortable spending time at her house. She begins to spend equal time with her father and Meredith (who has given birth to a beautiful baby girl, who they want Aria to help name) as well as Ella. With a restored friendship between Aria, Emily, Spencer, and Hanna, as well as familial affairs finally in order for her, Aria's life is finally back on track and she is happy. Spencer and her boyfriend Andrew Campbell are as happy as ever, and she and Melissa are finally getting along for real. The Hastings parents aren't quite getting back together yet, but they are also making an effort to be civil. Hanna's mother returns from Singapore kicking Hanna's father, Kate, and Isabel out for sending Hanna to the preserve. In the end the four girls renew their friendship starting fresh and are seen at the schools café together laughing and smiling.
