Okay, fine, words.
This book was the thrill ride of the century. Fast-paced, twisted, unpredictable—I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I love that it was sapphic and I also love that the romance took something of a backseat to
the main plot while still being integral to said plot. Mick and Veronica are both the kinds of characters I want to root for and yell at at the same time (perfect for this kind of book). And Nico is such a twisted villain. Like, only when we got inside his head near the end did I see the real depths of how much of a psychopath this dude is.
I am baffled this doesn’t have a higher rating. To be fair, I haven’t read The Picture of Dorian Grey (and didn’t even know this book took inspiration from it) so I didn’t come in with that expectation, but She’s Too Pretty to Burn was too excellent to have any less than 4 stars on here. Sharp characters, sharp writing, and the fast-paced plot a thriller needs. I absolutely adored it.

This book is chaos and pure fire. It was artistic, romantic, and thrilling. The story starts off as a romance but then takes a turn into a thriller. It went from zero to a hundred and I did not see that coming. I was expecting a romance and a story about two people who were not good for each other falling for each other and their ensuing chaotic relationship, but this book completely surprised me with that and an added thriller/ art murder mystery plot thrown in. It was exhilarating to say the least. The story revolves around Veronica, a photographer who wants to make it big, Mick, a swimmer who hates being photographed and is starting to self destruct, and Nico, Veronica’s friend who is an artist and does disruptive art installations. Wherever you think this story is going to take you, it definitely takes you somewhere else. I found myself completely wrapped up in what was going to happen next. The relationship between the three characters is intriguing and unique. They each take from each other but in varying ways, but they also give each other a sense of relationship and friendship. I absolutely had a blast reading this story and I don’t want to spoil any of the fun twist in this story. I really hope you give this amazing book a chance because I can honestly say, I was completely blown away and I absolutely loved how this book ended.

"Of all the colorful things in this new, precarious life, she is the most colorful."
Honestly I don't know how to feel about this book. For me it was okay but nothing too special. The ending was good though.

I finished it in one sitting. I was hooked from the first page. Could not put it down. 5/5.
