An Alloy Entertainment property, in development for a CW television series. I think it’s definitely not a secret that I really like Sara Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars series so when I saw the summary for The Perfectionists, I was really excited because it sounded kind of like her other series that I like with a fun murder mystery twist.Unfortunately, this book didn’t live up to the expectations set up by the other book. But Shepard expertly crafts characters that are morally complicated, yet sympathetic.

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. Meanwhile, police are uncovering clues that further implicate the girls, especially after a second murder occurs in their tony town. A slimy teacher suggestively offers beautiful, brilliant Ava “extra credit,” while soccer star Caitlin becomes attracted to her boyfriend’s younger brother. At first the girls think they have nothing in common, until they discover that they all hate the same person: Nolan Hotchkiss, who's done things to hurt each of them. Plot Ava, Caitlin, Mackenzie, Julie, and Parker are all driven to be perfectno matter the cost. 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. The Perfectionists is a book series written by Sara Shepard. When Nolan is discovered dead the next day, the girls become the central suspects and must work together to figure out what really happened. Musical genius Mackenzie is desperate to get into. 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. In Beacon Heights, Washington, five high school seniors know that you dont have to be good to be perfect.
