The Perfectionists and the Good Girls by Sara Shepard.

These are the kind of books I can't put down until I've finished them and I'm still thinking about them after that. I've seen Pretty Little Liars, I haven't read the books, because frankly, 16 books are just too many for me. I like the show, although it keeps repeating itself.

Since I wasn't going to read all those books I thought I could read this one by the same author. I didn't know it had a sequel then. The first book ended with a huge cliffhanger, so I had to get the sequel immediately.

There are five main-characters (I think). In the beginning it was confusing, but I got used to it fast enough. All the five main characters are interesting and different and not one-dimensional. The five girls, Parker, Julie, Ava, Mackenzie and Caitlyn all have their issues, goals and motives. There's also quite a bit of diversity.

Then there's the murder and the mystery behind it. I think this was given a lot of thought and well worked out.

I read both the books in two days. I really liked the ending. Although the books have their flaws, overall they are great.
