She's Too Pretty to Burn by Wendy Heard
3.0
2.5 rounded up
man, this is probably my most disappointing read of 2022. i was so excited for this.
(a lot of this is my own personal taste, and i can see why people would love this book!)
i’ll be honest, it did get better for me after reading about 50%, and it is an incredibly quick read, so it has that going for it. the last third in particular was pretty good, too! but the beginning, some of the mannerisms of these characters, and some plot points just weren’t believable. i wanted so much more from this story :(
i still think this was nice to read, and it did pick up, as i said, about halfway through. i just personally expected something else, i think!
