1st Quarter Book Review

For the first quarter, I chose to read Bad Girls With Perfect Faces by Lynn Weingarten. This is a thriller and a young adult fiction book that contains 320 intriguing pages. The main character and one of the narrators of the story, Sasha, is suspicious of her best friend's relationship. Xavier, Sasha's best friend, has just gotten back together with his ex-girlfriend, even though she has cheated on him. Sasha is convinced that his ex-girlfriend, Ivy, deep down is not a good person and is manipulating and controlling Xavier. Sasha believes it is her responsibility to protect her best friend. She pretends to be a guy on instagram (social media) to lure Ivy away from Xavier. However, Sasha's plan goes so terribly wrong, and she learns to be careful of who you pretend to be because you will be shocked of who you had become...I really enjoyed reading this book because unlike other suspenseful books I have read before, the plot twists had me speechless. I can always predict what might happen next when reading a book, but for this particular one, I cannot say how tremendous a plot twist effects everything else in the story. The plot twists in the book actually flows smoothly with the main plot, so you don't have to worry about the plot being all mixed up and all over the place. A book's simplistic writing is something I would usually like to change in a book. To make a fair point, without simplistic writing, the story would have been more difficult to understand, considering the multiple plot twists. So if you love unpredictable endings, Bad Girls With Perfect Faces would be a 10/10 for you. 😊

  1. This book seems very interesting because of the way the main character, Sasha, deals with the situation Xavier is in. Rather than confronting him about it, she goes to the extent of cat fishing to try and bring out Ivy's secrets. This shows Sasha's character and also points out the dangers of social media. You never know who you can trust, and what consequences one faces when someone takes something to the extreme.
