Far From Perfect

Authors note: I decided to read these books because I love the television series. They use some parts of each book but at the same time it has enormous differences  

The book Perfect has so far been the most strikingly dramatic book out of all the Pretty Little Liar series. Lots of tragedies happened to each of the girls but every second the clock ticks on; these young ladies get a centimeter closer to finding out who –A is. In the book the girls get closer than ever. The downside to things is all their dark secrets are revealed leaving them in a catastrophe.  What if all the horrid things you’ve done or all the atrocious things you’ve encountered got leaked to just about the whole town you lived in? Would you break down and leave? Or stay strong through the humiliation.

These girls stay, well at least three of them Aria, Spencer, and Hanna do Emily gets shipped away not by choice though. Emily’s mother doesn’t like who she is and thinks she is a mistake to their impeccable family. That would be the worst feeling in the world to think you’re not gratifying enough for your family. Personally if I was in that situation I would always have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Each girl’s dilemma was different but all lead up to one big picture. For Aria her Mom finds out her Dad is cheating on her and Aria has known the whole time. Mother Montgomery kicks Aria out which builds on to Aria’s problems. Then her perfectly tanned all-American boyfriend takes her in. Till her old sensations came back about her teacher. This is a big scandal because he likes her too. Poor Aria but she could just have made things easier on her and go to her age appropriate boyfriend. But no she takes the formidable way out and goes back to Mr. Fitz. This time she takes her gut feeling wrong and her and Ezra (as she calls him) gets caught by her boyfriend and the authorities. 

Spencer has a gut feelings too. Hers aren’t the brightest either. There’s always that one girl that people love and you praise her too because you know if you don’t she’ll make you life a living nightmare. That’s how it was for Spencer and Ali. The night Ali goes missing Spencer and Ali were in a predicament and once the lights went off Spencer couldn’t remember anything of that night. Later finding out she has memory loss issues, she thinks she was the one to have possibly slaughtered Ali. Personally I don’t think she had it in her and wouldn’t be able to have kept her emotions in check.

The girl with the most difficulties I would have to say would be Hanna. –A has caused so much dilemmas for the poor girl no wonder she has gotten back to her old ways of an eating disorder, and she turns Mona against Hanna. Personally I think Mona is two-faced, there’s really not a loss. Let me tell you this thought Hanna finds out who the killer is and right as she’s about to tell the others all heck comes crashing down. A shiny black SUV comes speeding at Hanna and hits her hard sending soaring through the air. I guess you know the rest from there. Moments later the girls get a text, “she knew too much, -A”.  What would you do if a car was coming full force at you not intending to stop would you run as fast as your legs could carry? Or would you be stuck like glue too frightened to move?

How could there be this much drama in a picture perfect town? Usually the houses are grand clean and spotless with no dirty secrets, the air smells off apples and Chanel No.5 not lies. How could this town become such a train wreck? How can these girls get back to their idyllic lives, without –A threatening their every move? We will just have to wait and see in the next book, Unbelievable.
