josephine montgomery.

she had it all - good looks, popularity, and a wealthy family. she and her best friend alison had been inseparable since childhood, and as they entered their teenage years, they both realized they could use their charm to get whatever they wanted. the two girls had fun together, sharing everything from secrets to boyfriends.

together the two formed a friend group, with spencer hastings always standing up for what's right, aria montgomery being the compassionate and creative one, emily fields the loyal one with a kind heart, hanna the admiring one with a charming personality, and josie, the ever superficial one who was truly a gifted girl beneath her exterior.

however, the disappearance of alison during the summer before sophomore year had a devastating impact on the group, leaving josie and the others to wonder about the true fate of their missing friend.

josie couldn't believe what was happening to her life. the news came like a tidal wave, shattering the illusion of perfection that she had built around herself. one day alison was there, the next she was gone. it seemed so surreal, that josie couldn't help but think that there must be some kind of sick joke involved. her mind raced in circles, searching for reasons and explanations. what had happened? where was alison? and most importantly, was she alive or dead?

after josie and aria were whisked away to iceland for a family reset, mainly to get away from all of the stress back in rosewood, they were back. and everything was different.
