Pretty Girls is an intense whirlwind of a ride. This is one of the few audiobooks to grab my attention at the very beginning and hold it all the way through. I couldn’t put it down. There were moments that had me at the edge of my seat and others that had me sobbing. My one criticism is just the intensity of some of the material. This is not for the faint of heart.

Parts of this were really challenging to read. It was more graphic than I expected (should have read more reviews!). That aside, even though it was fairly predictable, I wanted to know how it would all turn out, and the ending is satisfying.
