Pretty Things by Janelle Brown

4.0

I haven't had much time for extensive reading lately, but the set up of this book (with lots of backstory) allowed for me to engage with the story in dribbles and drabs...I remained intrigued by the plot and invested in seeing how things worked out for the main players: con artists, social media influencers, privileged few, impoverished many, etc. I felt empathy for the protagonists and antagonists alike--there are several plot twists that made me reconsider the roles of the main characters. A modern tale, with some deep insights, so not all marshmallow fluff!
