Pretty Guilty Women by Gina LaManna
3.0

Thanks to NetGalley and SourceBooks for providing me an ARC of Pretty Guilty Women by Gina LaManna in exchange for an honest review.

From the beginning, this book screamed "Big Little Lies" vibes to me. There were 6 main women that were spotlighted in this story. LaManna did a fabulous job crafting each woman's unique personality-their strengths, vulnerabilities, etc. You found that each character looked at the lives of the others and wondered if the grass was greener as many do. This book caused me, much like the characters, to reflect on what success really means to me-- is it wealth, is it motherhood, is it an ambitious career, etc.


I enjoyed diving in and learning about the different dynamics of the characters. I felt like the book started off really strong then towards the middle died down for me. I thought it started to get a bit drawn out. Overall, interesting read, dynamic characters, just think it could have been more succinct in nature.
