Amamos un buen plot twist. Muuuuy adictivo y muy entretenido, este sí no lo pude dejar por nada. Aparte creo que aprecio que este spin off no sea como de 500 libros como el de pretty little liers

5 girls make a list of who they want dead. One by one the names on the list are checked off. Who is out to get them?
I loved this series. Loved it! Midway through I had an idea about what it could be. I wasn't far off. A delightful twist and ending.

"Sara's writing is great, she sucks her readers in with no problem. The story flows and it keeps your attention. That isn't the problem. I have already said it but this is so similar to Pretty Little Liars. Sara Shepard is a commonly known author now, since both of her books (Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game) had become TV shows, but she always sticks with the same murder mysteries, with rich girls who break the law and try to get out of it. It is boring now. I'm over it."
That is what I said in my review of The Perfectionists. The plots too her stories are all similar, but are intriguing and entertaining and even after reading all the books she has read, I have never found boring. (despite what I have said) The Good Girls ripped the rug out from beneath the readers feet as they read, tossing everything they thought they knew up into the air and into a new direction.
The Good Girls picks up right after The Perfectionists ended. Granger is dead and all five girls are suspects. After hours of questioning the are released and are to continue on living their lives. But not everyone is who they appear to be. Sara's books are always hard to talk about, because every little detail can be a spoiler. What I will say is: I didn't see as many similarities to Pretty Little Liars as I did in the last book. The Good Girls had a much different spin on it as Sara's other works, making it easily one of my favorites.
Each girl has their own thing going on, Mac is struggling with loosing Blake, Julie hiding the biggest secret of her life, Caitlin's torn between both brothers, and Ava is learning to forgive her boyfriend for turning them on and her abusive stepmother. I enjoyed the smaller conflicts because they gave you a deeper look into each of the girls life. At certain times I was more interested in how everything was going to turn out for the girls then who the actual killer was. Sara still had an amazing mix of suspense, mystery and thrills packed into each chapter of The Good Girls.
Honestly I am disappointed in how it ended. Sara said that The Perfectionists would only be two books, but I am really hoping for one more now. The ending to The Good Girls is left off open, not giving me (and a few other bloggers I talked to) enough information to leave us content. I still have about five hundred questions. But you do find out who committed the murders and set the girls up, but after you find out even more questions arise.

When we found out it was Parker I was so disappointed. But when they said Parker was dead my heart stopped.
I am happy with this book but poor Julie. Ah

Ava, Caitlin, Mackenzie, Julie and Parker are now under suspicion for Mr. Granger's death. Someone is slowly killing off everyone on their list of people they want dead, framing them. Although it started a little slow, it quickly built up. I loved the plot twists, especially the one right at the end which leaves you to draw your own conclusions.

If I had to describe this book in one word it would be MIND-BLOWING. It was just, WOW. I certainly didn't see that coming! And I usually can tell Sara Shepard's plot twists before they happen, but not this one! It caught me completelty off-guard and made the story so not like Pretty Little Liars. Even though all the girl's particular stories ended up a little by lightly, I think it was a very good finale for the series. Once again, Sara was able to write a page turning story with defined characters you can identify yourself with and ended it in an open way with leaves you with your mouth opened waiting for more. *applauses*
