le book review number twenty-one~ unbelievable

title: unbelievable
author: sara shepard
personal star rating: 3/5 stars

from the back cover: Four pretty little liars' charmed lives have turned into living nightmares.
Emily's been shipped off to Iowa to live wither her uberconservative cousins. Aria's boyfriend is behind bars - because of her. Spencer's afraid she was involved in Ali's murder. But Hanna's fate is far worse: She's clinging to life in the hospital because she knew too much.
If these girls don't start listening to me, Hanna's going to look like the lucky one.

first sentence: "Ever wish you could go back in time and undo your mistakes?"

I thought this book really showed each character's personality. As A is revealed and secrets come to light. The story draws you in making you have to see what will happen next. I don't know where it's going to go from here but I really hope it continues to be good.

One thing i consistently adore are the chapter titles. They're interesting, catchy, and give a hint to what comes next.

le book review number nineteen~ perfect

title: perfect
author: sara shepard
personal star rating: 4/5 stars

From the back cover:
In Rosewood, Pennsylvania, four perfect-looking girls aren't nearly as perfect as they seem.


Aria can't resist her forbidden ex.Hanna is on the verge of losing her BFF. Emily is freaking out over a simple kiss. And Spencer can't keep her hands off anything that belongs to her sister.
Lucky me. I know these pretty little liars better than they know themselves. But it's hard keeping all of their secrets to myself. They better do as I say . . . or else!

First Sentence: Have you ever had a friend turn on you? 

In the third book in the Pretty Little Liars series, Perfect was a book I couldn't put down. I definitely found the plot to be more intricately woven together. I find myself liking the characters more as we learn about them individually. I found the ending to be shocking and I have no idea where this is going. I'm really excited to read the next book ASAP. This is a short review, but I found it to be so much better than flawless. Maybe even the best book yet.

le book review number eighteen~ flawless

Title: Flawless
Author: Sara Shepard
Personal Star Rating: 3/5

I wasn't sure if I was going to give it 2.5 or 3 but settled on three.

From the back cover:
Four pretty little liars have been very bad girls.

Spencer stole her sister's boyfriend. Aria is brokenhearted over her English teacher. Emily likes her new friend Maya . . . as much more than a friend. Hanna's obsession with looking flawless is maker her sick. And their most horrible secret yet is so scandalous that the truth would ruin them forever.
And why shouldn't I tell? They deserve to lose it all. Wither every crumpled note, wicked IM, and vindictive text message I send, I'll be taking these pretty little liars down. Trust me, I've got enough dirt to bury them alive.

First sentence: "You know that boy who lives a few doors down from you who's just the creepiest person alive?"

Why three stars compared to the four from the first book? The characters just weren't as exciting as I remembered them. I still liked the writing style and the four person point of view gives you insight into each life of the four girls, but I wasn't as happy as I was with the first book. I think the orange cover makes the book stand out but that's the most stand out it gets. I must admit before i continue that I have watched the television series so my opinion has probably changed as a result of that and the outcome of some events ring true to a lot of what has happened on the show. I still like reading these books because it's nice to compare the book to the show and see what the author had intended for things.

le book review number three~ Pretty Little Liars

Book Title: Pretty Little Liars
Author: Sara Shepard
My Personal Star Rating: 4/5 stars

I came across this book in the school library. A few of my friends had read it, and I have watched the television show, so I decided to give it a try. I really thought it was well written. It's not as stereotypical as many books about teenager girls, and the characters are people you can relate to, and can notice similarities with real people around you.


I thought the idea of a girl gone missing was very unique. And teenagers know the meaning of secret. The magnitude of the secrets that Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer have give you a fantastic sense of what these four girls have done in their past,  what they going to do about it now in the future since what they have tried their best to put behind them, is coming back to haunt them.


I think the separation of each chapter lets you live through each individual character and get to know what they think and feel. The power that Ali still has over them shows through and it's a great story about best friends growing apart and what they will have coming later. This is a series, and I will be definitely be reading the others.


I really thought this was a great read, and I'd recommend it to fans of the show, and avid teen book readers. I think that some references in the book should be cautioned depending on what you feel is 'wrong' in a book, but overall, it's a really good read.
