Perfect By Sara Shepard

Decent Essays
Have you ever had something very mysterious happen to you? Maybe it’s so mysterious that an anonymous person is sending you threatening messages. If you want to know how bad it can be, then you should read Perfect by Sara Shepard. Plus, I think that Perfect is a good book because of many literary terms. The suspense for Perfect is very high during the book. Like when Sean calls the police on Ezra and Aria,the police arrest Ezra. A lot of readers will wonder if they get back together or not. At the end, Hanna gets hit by a car, which was A, because she knew who A was. A sends the girls a text saying, “She knew too much”. The conflict between many characters happens often. Hanna and Mona fight because Mona was mad at Hanna for hanging out

    “The Love of the Last Tycoon” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald should remain on the reading list for many reasons. The novel is written in two points of view, has a wide spectrum of characters, and has multiple different conflicts. The author wrote this story for an advanced reader, who is able to understand who is speaking,and keep track of the multiple events that go on simultaneously. The novel is very short, but in this case the saying “quality not quantity” comes into play. The book can also be very confusing due to the fact that the author died before he wrote the story.…
