Week 47 Review: The Perfectionists

From Goodreads:
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series Pretty Little Liars comes a thrilling new novel about five perfect girls who are framed for a murder they didn't commit. 

In Beacon Heights, Washington, five girls—Ava, Caitlin, Mackenzie, Julie, and Parker—know that you don't have to be good to be perfect. At first the girls think they have nothing in common, until they realize that they all hate Nolan Hotchkiss, who's done terrible things to each of them. They come up with the perfect way to kill him—a hypothetical murder, of course. It's just a joke...until Nolan turns up dead, in exactly the way they planned. Only, they didn't do it. And unless they find the real killer, their perfect lives will come crashing down around them. 

From Sara Shepard, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, comes another story of dark secrets, shocking twists, and what happens when five beautiful girls will do anything to hide the ugly truth. 

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book. I've read one or two of Sara Shepard's books, and I've seen most of both of the tv shows those series inspired. And this book sounded really interesting, and I wanted to read it! 

We are in 5 girls' perspectives. And at first, it was hard keeping track of what we knew of all of them, that beginning was pretty rapid fire between all but Parker. And we know they're going to do something, just we don't know what that something is. So when he ends up dead, well, that's pretty suspicious. 

Loved all the lies and the secrets, it was all dark and twisted. It was hard to know who to trust, and given that most of them were from pretty different social groups and didn't really know each other, well, they really got to over the course of this book. I really enjoyed watching their friendships develop! 

That ending was just brutal! It's such a cliffhanger, and I just want to know who the bad guy is, and that they're all going to be making it out of it okay. I mean, maybe they'll be battered and scarred, but I want them all to make it! After everything that Nolan and now this killer has put them through, they deserve it!

This was such a great book, and I can't wait to continue the series!
