Pretty Things by Janelle Brown
4.0
This novel was crazy from start to finish, in a good way! When I first started this book, I wasn't sure it was going to be for me, but after giving it a chance I really enjoyed it.
This story focuses primarily on two women. Nina, a girl who grew up with a single mother who found creative and deceptive ways to continuously get by. And Vanessa, a rich girl who has family issues of her own and struggled to find her own identity outside her family name.
Nina was a very interesting character and was given depth throughout the book that brought her to life. Vanessa was utterly frustrating to read about, but then reading things from her point of view really changed my opinion of her character.
Nina and her partner Lachlan are planning a con on Vanessa and for Nina it's personal. She was connected to Vanessa's family when she was in high school and has a grudge against them. During flashback chapters we get to understand more of how our characters got to where they are now and what events shaped them in their paths.
The twists in this book kept getting better the more I read, and I was on the edge of my seat unable to read fast enough to find out what was going to happen! The ending was unexpected and pretty well thought out. I was hoping for more with the Epilogue, but it was able to leave readers with imagining what they thought might happen next.
