Pretty Things came recommended to me through BookTok of all places but I was hooked on the premise the moment I heard it. I have a serious love for heist media; I grew up watching Leverage and I adore Ocean’s 8, so this book is definitely up my alley. It did sit on my To-Read list for a while before I was able to get around to it, but when I did, I promise this book is so hard is put down.
Regardless, even in the moments where I got irritated with Vanessa, Brown is a talented enough writer that I’m able to overlook it. And her backstory is so integral to the plot that I spent those moments looking for the hints about what was really going on. Nina also more than carries the story when Vanessa cannot.
