Pretty Is by Maggie Mitchell
1.0
I read this in its entirety - it was (to me) a book about two girls who don't know why they were abducted. They get rescued two months later. They spend the rest of their lives trying to find meaning. There is no meaning.
That's it. Save yourself the 300 odd pages. There was no meaning to their lives. Nor their abduction. Nor their adult lives because they didn't DO anything of meaning with them. They are no better or worse than hundreds of thousands of people who were NOT abducted. The other plot points were distracting and, to repeat a phrase, meaningless. A bunch of random things, throw in a blender and that is this book.
