The pace of this book was absolutely perfect! There were many twists and turns and there was never a boring moment in this book. Pretty Things follows Nina Ross, a grifter, and Vanessa Liebling, a heiress/influencer, and what happens when they cross paths at the Liebling's Estate in Lake Tahoe.
I loved that this book is told in dual POV and we're able to see the thought process between both of the Nina and Vanessa as they're telling the story of their upbringing, how the perceive each other vs. what they're really like, and how they choose to navigate the predicament they have essentially placed themselves in. This book will have you jumping back and forth between who is coning who and who you can and cannot trust. 10/10 recommend.
