These settings have shaped some of the characters values. One of the girls in the group, her name is Spencer, she is 17 years old, and she is very much the clever and perfect girl in the group.

She lives with her mom, dad and her older sister. Both of her parents are well educated, works a lot and are members of a very posh tennis club.

This puts very high expectations on Spencer and make her want to look like her life is perfect, despite their family problems that only the family know about.

The second girl of the group is named Hanna and is also 17 years old. She is the pretty blonde girl of the group and she lives with her single mom.

In the text, we hear about how her dad left them a couple of years back for another family and how her mom has been having a hard time paying the bills ever since.

This causes Hanna to do outrages things such as steeling designer sunglasses, so that she can look upper class and keep it a secret that her mom is almost broke, so she can maintain this Rosewood image of being perfect, as well as gaining her dad´s attention.
