Publisher Description
Don’t miss the Freeform TV series, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists!
From Sara Shepard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Pretty Little Liars series, comes a series that’s perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying and We Were Liars.
Ava, Caitlin, Mackenzie, Julie, and Parker are all driven to be perfect—no matter the cost.
At first the girls think they have nothing in common, until they discover that they all hate the same person: handsome womanizer Nolan Hotchkiss, who's done things to hurt each of them.
They come up with the perfect plan to murder Nolan—jokingly, of course. They'd never actually go through with it. But when Nolan turns up dead in the exact way they'd discussed, the girls suddenly become prime suspects in his murder.
Only, they didn't do it.
So who did? Unless they find the real killer, and soon, any one of them may be the next to die….
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After several dissimilar girls discover they have suffered at the hands of rich, popular bully Nolan, they drug him at his own party and scrawl mean messages on his face, which they share online. When Nolan is discovered dead the next day, the girls become the central suspects and must work together to figure out what really happened. This scintillating series kickoff from Pretty Little Liars author Shepard employs a similar formula, mixing archetypical girls the popular one, the musician, etc. with an array of scandals. A slimy teacher suggestively offers beautiful, brilliant Ava "extra credit," while soccer star Caitlin becomes attracted to her boyfriend's younger brother. Meanwhile, police are uncovering clues that further implicate the girls, especially after a second murder occurs in their tony town. There's a lot going on, and some of it like a suspicious therapist who seems to have only two teen girls as patients defies believability, even for an outrageous story. But Shepard expertly crafts characters that are morally complicated, yet sympathetic. An Alloy Entertainment property, in development for a CW television series. Ages 14 up.
Customer Reviews
The perfectionists
This book is a lot like Pretty Little Liars, a little too much. It's about five girls who all have dirty little secrets. It's kind of slow moving, but has an interesting plot.
