Perfect Girl by Tracy Banghart
4.0

The beginning of this book was a bit of a struggle, the characters felt a little too immature for high schoolers. But once the sleepover kicked off, the story took a turn for the better and really pulled me in. I appreciated the subtle nuances of society's pressure of being the “perfect girl” and how doing what’s expected isn’t always the right thing.

I also enjoyed unraveling the mystery of the missing girls and how it all connected back to Jessa and the mysterious killer. The classic tropes of a dark, isolated night and people being picked off one by one were well executed. The big question remains… will Jessa finally break free from the perfect image she’s been forced into?
