First Impressions
What do you do when a thriller looks like just another missing-person story, but then it drags you into the darkest corners of human cruelty? That’s Pretty Girls.
The Setup
Two estranged sisters are forced back together after tragedy, reopening old wounds around their missing sister. That’s all you need to know going in.
What Worked for Me
– Claire and Lydia feel flawed and real.
– Atmosphere dripping with tension.
– Gut-punch scenes that stick with you.
What Didn’t Work
This book is dark—violence and subject matter may turn some readers away.
Who Should Read It
Fans of Gillian Flynn or Tana French who want psychological, disturbing thrillers.
Verdict
Pretty Girls is a book you endure, not enjoy—and that’s why it works.
