Title: Flawless
Author: Sara Shepard
Publisher: HarperTeen
Publication Date: March 15, 2007

(From Goodreads.com): In the exclusive town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, where the sweetest smiles hide the darkest secrets, four pretty little liars- Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna- have been very bad girls. . . .

Spencer stole her sister’s boyfriend. Aria is brokenhearted over her English teacher. Emily likes her new friend Maya . . . as much more than a friend. And Hanna’s obsession with looking flawless is literally making her sick. But the most horrible secret of all is something so scandalous it could destroy their perfect little lives.
And someone named “A” is threatening to do just that.

At first they thought A was Alison, their friend who vanished three years ago . . . but then Alison turned up dead. So could A be Melissa, Spencer’s ultracompetitive sister? Or Maya, who wants Emily all to herself? What about Toby, the mysterious guy who left town right after Alison went missing?

One thing’s for certain: A’s got the dirt to bury them all alive, and with every crumpled note, wicked IM, and vindictive text message A sends, the girls get a little closer to losing it all.

After I read the first book in the Pretty Little Liars series, I was a little skeptical and was not sure on my opinion of it. I didn’t really understand many of the decisions the characters made, and the plot lines were odd to me. HOWEVER, Sara Shepard knows how to make you want to keep reading book after book, and that’s what happened to me.

Flawless ended up having me care more about the characters well being than I thought I originally would. I still thought some decisions were ridiculous, but I wanted to know who A was so I kept reading.
