What We Think

Wicked (Pretty Little Liars, Book 5) is a standard teen mystery with little overtly woke content. Characters aren’t defined primarily by identity, and social issues take a back seat to drama and suspense. Overall, it's a product of its time, more focused on entertainment than ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wicked is focused on mystery, interpersonal drama, and secrets among teens. Characters are developed mostly through their relationships and actions, not as vehicles for modern ideological themes. Identity factors are present but not the primary focus, especially given the book’s 2008 publication date.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The book centers on suburban teen life, navigating friendships and family issues. While there are dysfunctional family dynamics and some critique of traditional norms, these elements come off as soap-operatic, not intentional subversion of cultural foundations or longstanding values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Diverse perspectives exist among the characters, with various personalities, secrets, and motivations. The book doesn't openly mock traditional viewpoints or push a single ideological message, though modern teen angst is a recurring theme.
