Pretty Things (Brown) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
It’s Dynasty meets Patricia Highsmith…. Duplicity abounds when two messed-up clans collide, and Brown’s final multiple twists are doozies.
Washington Post


Despite a catchy opening, the stakes fade and the narrative flags during Nina and Lachlan’s overlong ruse, and long flashbacks and shifts in perspective drag out what quickly becomes a predictable storyline. There’s promise here, but many readers will find their interest waning.
Publishers Weekly


[A] riveting tale of secrets and deception.… With flawless suspense, masterly storytelling, and a plot that hits all the notes of our Instagram world perfectly, this novel is a must-read. —Melanie Kindrachuk, Stratford P.L., Ont.
Library Journal


Brown offers a glittering, high-stakes drama, stacking childhood nostalgia against the power to reinvent oneself in the age of social media.… Packed with plot twists.
Booklist


The daughter of a grifter plans to fund her mother's cancer treatment with a revenge con. Rich people suck, don't they?… Definitely stay to see how it all turns out. Why you double-crossing little double crossers! Fiendishly clever.
