⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finished this book. I give it 4 stars only bc the chapters in my opinion were very long, which isn’t usually a problem except for when I wanna stop somewhere.

Definitely should read! But check trigger warnings first.

... Read moreKarin Slaughter's 'Pretty Girls' has captured the attention of readers globally, making it a New York Times Bestseller. It’s praised for its gripping storytelling and character depth, yet the length of the chapters can challenge pacing for some readers. With themes of psychological suspense and complex relationships, the author weaves a tale that demands emotional investment. Before reading, it's wise to consult trigger warnings due to sensitive content that may arise. Slaughter's works often explore the darker aspects of human nature, making them both compelling and thought-provoking. Dive deep into her universe and uncover why her novels are often regarded as book of the year contenders by critics like Lee Child. Don't miss out on an author who continuously redefines the boundaries of thriller and suspense genres.

I finished this book in three days?!?
When starting this book I did think It has a slow start. I also feel as if the Freida did a good job building up the story to where I always had questions about something. I do feel like there is a lot of plot twists and things that I just utterly did not expect to happen. ⭐️Overall rating: 4/5
