The Perfectionists by Sara Shephard

Hello everyone!

Today I will be reviewing:

'The Perfectionists by Sara Shepard'


In Beacon Heights, Washington, five girls—Ava, Caitlin, Mackenzie, Julie, and Parker—know that you don’t always have to be good to be perfect. At first the girls believe they are completely different, until they realize that they all hate Nolan Hotchkiss — a boy who had done terrible things to each one of them.

 During class they come up with a hypothetical murder, the perfect way to kill this bully. 

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.  

My Review:


This Book, written by Sara Shepard, was just a bit of a bore. The five characters were rather predictable, and the only thing remotely exciting was the back stories of each girl. The main plot however was so unbelievably predictable. Every twist and turn I saw coming from a mile away, and seemed so stereotypical.

 I couldn't connect with any of the characters, because I felt like their personalities had been done before - and they reminded me too much of the girls from Pretty Little Liars. I just didn't understand why people acted the way that they did - and the reasons for their actions were not explained. Look, I probably can't judge this aspect so quickly, because this is the first book of the series, so maybe some of those things will be explained in another book. Some of the story lines present in the book were unbelievable, and left me thinking - 'Really? Like someone would actually do that'.

Now, don't get me wrong - this wasn't the worst book that I've ever read. Sara Shephard was able to expertly weave back-stories into the novel, without it becoming confusing or boring. In fact, it helped 'thicken the plot' of the book.

Chock-a-block full of beautiful, but bitchy girls, cliches and cliques, rich bullies, evil adults, dark secrets and someone who is out to frame the five girls who were just trying to pull off the lamest prank ever.

The Perfectionists was rather mediocre. There were moments where I was exciTed, but really I saw everything coming anyway.

RATING: 3/5
