"In a place where everything looked so flawless, it was hard to stand out."Flawless picks up right after the first book ends with the first group A message. The book does a really good job of making the case for who A could be, and casting doubt on everyone. Interestingly enough the girls are still separated and not really re-bonded yet in this book, unlike in the tv series.
I am still waiting for Emily to challenge her mother's racism more than a couple of instances of her perspective saying "possibly racist reasons" that her mother doesn't want her to hang out with Maya.
There isn't any character development in this installment, although this book seems to cover like 2 or 3 days. I do want to say that the characters I loved in the show (Spencer & Hanna) I don't like much in the book. I find myself resonating most with Aria.
Representation: panic attacks, lgbtqiap+ (f/f romance)
Content/Trigger warnings: assault, inferred potential rape, eating disorder, death & suicide, racism ("I just don't see what you have in common with people like that," unchallenged so far)
