Perfect Lies by Kiersten White
2.0
I did not enjoy this book. Much like the first book, I had many issues with this one. I had hoped that this book would expand on the storyline and general plot, but no.
This book kept jumping back and forth in time like the previous book did, however this time was quite confusing. I could never really tell when in time a chapter was taking place. Things kept getting jumbled up and there were times where I had no idea what was going on.
I was really hoping for some more background and plot details. However, there were none. I have no idea why Philip Keane wanted the girls. Was it just to spy on and manipulate politicians and other high ranking people? His methods seemed much to brutal and malicious for that. It doesn't make sense and I don't understand the motivation. The victory in the end didn't really feel like a victory, because what are they victorious over?
Lerner really confused me. Are they good, are they bad, is this a WICKED situation like in the Maze Runner series? I also felt like the story wasn't resolved well. How do they recover from the ruins left over? I didn't understand why Sofia's instincts were failing her at the end. If she has perfect instincts, shouldn't she have known what to do? Or was Kiersten trying to show that there was no right choice? I just don't get it.
As a whole, this duology is very weak. The characters aren't really relatable or likable. They had no growth and hardly any backstory. I consider this a waste of time, do not read this series if you are considering it.
