Pretty Things by Janelle Brown
5.0
Layers! Complexities! Intelligent villains you root for! Young love! Complicated Mother-Daughter relationships!
I have been so spoiled by good book picks lately. This one will go one of two ways: I’ll either forget the details in a few months and wonder why I gave 5 stars (I’ll chalk it up to being swept up in the thrill of bingeing a really good book). Or I will remember most details and agree that this was the best book I had read so far of 2020. It has really good competition - Dear Edward, The Hunting Party, Mr. Nobody - but the twists and turns of this book were different. It was a thriller but it was also deep. It was like Harlan Coben meets Tarryn Fisher. Or Tarryn Fisher meets Tarryn Fisher.
