This is a chick lit thriller, perfect for the holidays or when you just want easy escapism. It has all the twists and shocking reveals you would expect from this type of book.
Nina is a con artist that learned the finer points of the trade from her own mother. And now that her mother is sick (again) Nina needs to step up and take care of the very expensive medical treatments. This time she needs to score big so she can finally walk away from this life.
Vanessa is a trust fund baby, an Instagram influencer and has the world at her feet dressed in shiny clothes and jewels. Just the type of mark that Nina was hoping for.
The story is told from both Nina and Vanessa’s point of view and overall, this was a very fast easy read, with just a little less depth than I had hoped for. I would have liked for the story to have carried on with the momentum built in the first half as the setup was very strong.
This book won’t change your life, and you may not even remember the finer points of it in a few weeks from now but as an easy fluff read it did its job.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. A quick and easy read. Nina and her partner Lachlan make a living out of stealing from social media influencers. When their guy who sells antiques ghosts then and they need quick cash, they set their sights on Vanessa, an heiress living in Lake Tahoe. Only, Nina has a past connection with Vanessa’s family, and a reason for returning to Tahoe. A twisty thriller with a satisfying ending.
I loved the twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I also thought Nina was a very relatable character because of the relationship she thought she had with her mom.
3.5 stars rounded up. Pretty things was a slow-burn thriller, with a lot of unlikable characters. The author spent a lot of time building up the backstory, and it wasn’t until about 3/4 of the way in that things started picking up. There were a couple twists in the end that I didn’t see coming at all, and I felt a lot of satisfaction with the way things were wrapped up, although I was hoping for more growth from one of the characters. I listened to this and thought both narrators were fantastic. Overall this wasn’t the most “thrilling” thriller, but I still enjoyed the listen.
I enjoyed this book. Maybe because it alternated between SF and Tahoe but also it was a fun story to read.
