The Perfectionists by Sara Shepard
3.0
I need to start this review by saying that I felt like I was on a roller coaster while reading this book. I remember being so overwhelmed with the number of names throughout the entire story, but thinking about it now, I think it added more depth and realism.
The main girls were fantastic. I loved that each chapter was about a single girl and her own struggles and story. Each character felt real and not perfect, which is interesting since they all want to appear as perfect girls in their surroundings. I enjoyed the small romance and love triangles, and it honestly had a little bit of everything.
I have to say that the ending was a little bit rushed, and I think I would prefer if it were explained a bit more and sooner. I feel the same about the middle of the story. I can't say I didn't enjoy the extra story and getting to know the characters, but I would prefer if the actual mystery was explained more.
I'm really 50/50 about the ending. It does open up a really nice path into more mysteries and drama, which is definitely explained in the next book. The entire time, I was really suspicious of one particular person, but I thought it was too obvious for them to be the actual killer, and I was actually surprised by the end. I did not expect it at all so that's big plus from me.
