Bad Girls With Perfect Faces by Lynn Weingarten

Xavier and Sasha are best friends, Sasha fancies him though while he's recovering from a breakup with his wild ex Ivy.

Ivy is a crazy whirlwind of a character as she uses drugs, drinks, parties hard and disappears sometimes for days on end.

So when she tries it on again with Xavier, Sasha is jealous.

Sashas jealousy leads her to create an online pseudonym of Jake, in order to hopefully catch Ivy out and prove she doesn't want to be in a relationship ever again with Xavier as Sasha knows it's just a matter of time until she will break his heart again.

However, as Sasha leads Ivy astray, they eventually arrange to meet but once face to face with the true 'Jake' Ivy doesn't lose face, but she does later lose her life...

Confused, Sasha recalls her actions and steps as she makes the brutal discovery, but she doesn't expect a surprise discovery that will shock her even more, just how well does she know the person she's close to most?

Xavier, Sasha and Ivys best friend Gwen s lives all change forever with Ivy scarred on their brains forever...

Running away, dead body hiding and being hunted down by someone, this thriller mystery book doesn't let up on twists and turns at any point. I was shocked at the relationships in the end and would've liked to have seen a more sinister ending but the dangers of online chatting and unknown real identities provided a final twist I enjoyed surrounding the anonymity that can provide us with the most danger of all. The split perspective from Xavier and Sashas points of view was good and the perspective where we could guess whom it is and it's not stayed first, but Xavier did feel a bit of a blank character as apart from his being a jock and depressed we didn't get more about whom he is apart from Sasha day repeatedly he's calm and kind.

Prepare to lose your trust in those your reading about!
