Flawless, by Sara Shepard

Flawless, by Sara Shepard, is the second book in the mind-boggling Pretty Little Liars series. This book picks up right where the last one left off, but with a little flashback that reveals some interesting little secrets. Still mourning Ali's death, all four girls meet up at her memorial. They discover that all of them have been receiving frightening messages from someone who calls themself A. Toby and Jenna, the girl they blinded, are shockingly at Alison's memorial and the Liars have a hunch that Toby is A. Aside from that, the girl's lives are more complicated than ever.  Aria might not be with Ezra anymore, but now she's developed feelings for Sean, Hanna's ex-boyfriend. Her parent's relationship however just gets worse and worse, and A is threatening to tell the secret that could destroy her family for good. Spencer's parents are still angry with her and her grades are going down. She's still seeing Wren and A knows secrets that could ruin her life. For Hanna, she's desperately trying to get Sean back, but doesn't realize she's not the only one. Plus, her Dad comes back into her life, but his flawless new family might not want him too. Lastly, Emily is trying to get back her old life. She tries to push Maya out of her mind, but Ben keeps showing up and reminding her what he saw. To prove him wrong, she takes a certain someone to Foxy, but the night might turn out to be dangerous instead of fun. Will Rosewood be mourning the murder of two young girls?

After seeing the television series, I couldn't wait read the books! The first one was great, but kept me wanting more! Flawless proved to be even better than the first book and I certainly have high expectations for the third book. Sara Shepard has a unique way of writing and it was new but very interesting. Each chapter is a different girl's life and feelings, giving you insight into each of their lives. I was thrilled with this book and recommend it to teen girls and anyone who liked the first book or show! You won't regret reading this book.
