Pretty Things by Janelle Brown
4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this con within a con story. I was all in with Nina and Lachlan, and Nina’s backstory was genuinely heartbreaking.

Although I suspected some things weren’t quite what they seemed, I didn’t fully expect the twists or the ending - which was great. Nina and Vanessa were the perfect foils and frenemies.

One of three narrators, Julia Whelan, is one of my favorites. It took me a while to settle into the alternate POVs of Nina and Vanessa, but overall very well done.
