This week we have the mother of all things Pretty Little Liars, author Sara Shepard! Sara gives us all the tea on the origins of the PLL universe, as well as how the tv show came into being. Lindsey and Tammin ask her all the juicy questions, like if she thought any actors didn't fit her vision of the character, and her opinions on the creative licenses the tv show took. We are then joined by Joseph who discusses the Idaho college murder case and how there are always clues left behind at the scene…
What were the Pretty Little Liar live tweet parties actually like? What were Sara's favorite and least favorite changes the tv show made to her books? And why was Tammin always farting on set???
