This book is not a stand alone story. It is the prelude to Pretty Girls, therefore it should be categorized as 0,5 of Pretty Girls series. If you read Pretty Girls first, this story will make much more sense, and it won’t bother you that it ends so suddenly, because you will already know what happened after this ending.

I didn't realize this was a prequel and listened to it before reading the actual book so this review may not be as useful but this book was incredibly dull. It's pretty much just her overthinking situations then acting nas if she hasn't just thought through what she wanted to do or say.

This was included at the end of the audiobook copy I had of Pretty Girls.

I liked listening to the prologue of Pretty Girls, to get to know Julia a little better. I did listen to this after listening to Pretty Girls, which I think enhanced the story and made it a little more nerve racking towards the end since I knew what happens later.

Had I listened to this before Pretty Girls, I would have rated it 3 stars, but having read it after it's a solid 4 stars.

Great short story to fill in the last day of julia’s life from pretty girls and included a lot of important information on sexual assault awareness

Good companion novella to Pretty Girls.. I don't think the order you read them in matters much.

I loved it, however; the ending is frustrating. This EASILY could have been a full novel and I would've read the heck out of it.

Edit to add: I was dumb before and this is indeed connected to a full book, that i read the heck out of.
