Perfect Girl is a quick, fun read with a thrilling climax! It follows Jessa, a rules-following "perfect" girl who seems to have her life together. But has her perfection caught the wrong person's notice?

I can't say too much without spoiling the excellent twist(s) within this novel. It starts at a sleepover in Jessa's house, where a power outage interrupts the standard teenage bickering. Can Jessa put her complicated feelings aside about her brother, crush, and best friends to manage a growing crisis? Can she put her own insecurities away? How much can this perfect girl be pushed before she cracks?

Perfect Girl takes the "nice guy" concept to the extreme. I enjoyed the characters' banter (it felt very true to the high school experience) and Jessa's inner monologue. I also liked how the romance between Jessa and Ryan develops. I almost wanted this book to be longer, though. The concept restricts it to a single evening, but it felt like Jessa got out of her pickle rather quickly. Despite this, Perfect Girl fits a lot into the story and wraps up nicely.

If you're looking for a not so scary but still gripping thriller, Perfect Girl is a great choice.

This was not at all what I expected, but quite a thrilling ride. Romance, mystery, and thrills rolled up in one great story. I read this as an ARC.

This book brought me right back to high school and the many sleepovers. The twists just kept coming and coming. I am excited to see what Tracy Banghart has next up her sleeve.

Jessa Morgan has always been the perfect girl: nice, polite, a rule-follower. Her friends and her brother make fun of her but she finds life easiest when she’s the girl her parents and society expect her to be.

One night her friends are at Jessa’s for a sleepover when a storm comes up and the power goes out. Her friends start to fight, guests show up and scary things start to happen. Someone has targeted Jess and she needs to save herself and everyone else. Can the perfect girl do it?

I don’t know, this is definitely YA for YA, not much for an adult here, even an adult who likes YA. It was OK, just….not much to it.

So I initially picked this up because of the cover and thought oh this would be a nice read but boy did it surprise me by being way more intriguing that I ever would've guessed.
