Wow, I really wish I could say that flawless was flawless, but alas, I cannot. Sadface. Although the plot and all the subplots with the different characters was really, amazing-- wren and Spencer made me wanna puke. Everyone else was okay, though.
I mean, seriously. Spencer is like my age and wren is like my grandpa. Excuse my exaggeration, but isn't wren technically a pedophile because of this...? Really. I'm just asking here. And they're not even cute together. There's really no spark between them besides how they like the same things. I like the same things as my friends, but that doesn't mean I watch kid shows while doing the horizontal naked dance with them.
Well, I actually do do that first part. But we've all watched Dora with our friends out of boredom and hate for Paula Dean... Y'all.
I'm sorry. I'm getting off track here. Anyways, and what bothered me most was that she did this after Melissa forgave her. Props to you, Melissa. And you suck, Spencer. Seriously. I may not hate you as much as Kate, but in this book, I detested you. But don't take it personally, really.
Besides that, though, flawless really was flawless. The struggles the other characters had to face really were believable.
Emily was just trying to figure out who she was and whether she was a lesbian or no. She was in that confused stage where she didn't know what to do. Oh, and along with that, her ex was trying to rape her. I don't know about you, but she's got it pretty tough. Although this plot was a bit different than what you may think is a relatable plot, it was pretty good. There needs to be at least one partially relatable and not cringeworthy part. Really.
Aria had a not so little secret, and it was spiraling out of control. I feel that Aria's problem was a huge problem that is easily related to things that we're going through- just on a much bigger scale. And as I said before in my other review, all Shepard does is blow it up to full scale and wraps it into words. Again, this is so effing real. I love it.
And last... Hanna. again, she's struggling to be perfect again. But this time, she's being compared to little miss amazing Kate. Well, crap now. Again, Shepard just brings this to life. and oh, Kate is such a bitch. Really. She is that character that I really just want to kill then bring back to life then kill again. *revs up chainsaw* a dead Kate is a happy Jenn! Oh, and I don't really hate Hanna anymore. :P so much pity.
Toby was seriously an amazing new character introduced. It was kinda awkward as to what he did to Jenna back in the good ol' days (here's a secret- when I say that, I don’t know the actual year. ;D) and he was hot. Don’t forget that. Yes, he was very hot. And right until the very end of his life, sara Shepard just brought it alive. I've said that a lot, but it's true. 100% true and amazing. This also ties in with the Jenna Thing which, too, was just epic.
This is not your normal young adult novel. This is epicsauce in a can.
The Pretty Little Liars series is really something. So grab he first book before I stab you or something.
My rating: 4 stars
