What do you want to be when you left school? In Real Life, if you make a mistake, there's no turning back. However in this book, if you screw up, you can go back and start all over again. But be warned, choose wisely or face the disastrous consequences of your actions that may even lead to your untimely demise (well at least in the book anyway).It focuses on you, the unnamed Yankee female protagonist, making the decision of a lifetime after high school. You have two options — go to college or travel the world — and then keep on choosing. Take risks or play it safe. Become a mother, mistress, doctor or drug dealer. Go to London, LA, Italy or India. Die young or live long.Pretty Little Mistakes is a Gamebook novel written by Heather McElhatton in the second-person and released on May 1, 2007. She would later publish a sequel called Million Little Mistakes on August 10, 2010. | |

Title Drop: In an ending where the Protagonist is accidentally framed for a double-murder and spends the rest of her life in prison, only to eventually die of a staph infection from a cut she gets one day during KP duty. The cut has a beautiful heart shape, and the narrative calls it a "pretty little mistake". | |

Ironic Hell: After committing credit card fraud, the Protagonist spirals into a dead-end life of gaining weight and watching trashy Reality TV until she actually reaches a dead-end by an exploding lava-lamp. | |

Morton's Fork | |
| Pretty Little Mistakes / int_407d3e6d | comment |
Morton's Fork: In some of the routes, the protagonist would be unable to escape her current situation or even straight-up die no matter the choice. Right off the bat, the protagonist can never keep her first boyfriend after the first choice. If she travels the world, he'll fly into a rage, forcing her to smack him with a frying pan and leave anyway. If she goes to college with him, either one will cheat on the other depending on the major. While teaching at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Dean Dorrington, in a drunken haze, forces herself on the protagonist and spilled all her dirty secrets (like embezzlement and her cocaine addiction). You're naturally appalled at these atrocities so The Protagonist tells on her— only to be unceremoniously fired but if you ignore it....the Protagonist gets unceremoniously fired. That's school board corruption for ya. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Pretty Little Mistakes / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Upon choosing to carry Summer's rape child, the Protagonist expresses deep hatred over herself for giving birth to that "screaming monster child/thing". Combined with the stress of taking care of that "thing" and getting nasty looks from everyone...it's a surefire way to buy a gun and pull the trigger. | |

Extreme Omnisexual: Someone call sexaholics anonymous because there's the biggest case in town. Pick any route and The Protagonist would have no preferences towards appearance, status, age or gender for anyone she wanted to screw. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Pretty Little Mistakes / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Since the central focus is on the Protagonist alongside her willingness to just ditch anyone without looking back, the fates of her love interests and supporting cast members are left unanswered should she go forward and do her own thing without them. | |

One True Love | |
| Pretty Little Mistakes / int_9c4003a1 | comment |
One True Love: Christian can be considered this for the protagonist despite her promiscuity. All choices involving the latter pursuing a relationship with the former ends in two ways: become Happily Married, live a long, fruitful life with her and die blissfully together OR reject Christian's proposal and resign yourself to a hard-drinking, manically depressed recluse once she left you. Helps that most of the protagonist's suitors are Jerkass boyfriends and usually the story continues with or without them. | |

Teeny Weenie: Ben's small asset is such a huge disappointment to the sex connoisseur that is the Protagonist she repeats "Size Counts" over and over again. In fact, he's the only one, aside from unwilling counts of rape, who cannot sexually satisfy the Protagonist. | |

Ambiguously Bi: The protagonist had stated Christian to be her soulmate, something she never said to any of the men she dated and/or married. That said, Christian is the only girl she ever had romantic feelings fornote Though she did an all-female three-way in one route and had sex with Dean Dorrington in another but that's just the protagonist being herself and the rest of her love interest are guys. | |

Irony: Submitting your art piece for the group exhibition determines a future completely opposite to the intended outcome. The risky piece will give the protagonist a chance to teach at a prestigious art school while the technically accomplished piece will lead her to form an anarchists activist group called "HACKY" (Hedonistic Art Can Kill You). | |

Cult: Disguised as a gated community, VowGuardians controls its members through unpredictable mealtimes and bedtimes. The combination of sleep deprivation and malnourishment makes them susceptible to having sex with the leaders and staying indefinitely. There is choice to be deprogrammed or remain with the community, picking the latter leads straight to an end when VowGuardians goes bankrupt and the protagonists accidentally drowns in a frigid lake during winter. | |
