Why read it?
1 author picked You Could Be So Pretty as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved how Holly made such a hard-hitting, thought-provoking, evocative novel that explores friendships, gender, misogyny, self-esteem, beauty, and the pressures young girls face in society. The dystopian world-building and character-woven journeys had me hooked from the start and invested in Belle and Joni’s individual and joint narratives.
The novel had such pace and tension, which meant I couldn’t put the book down and was reading it into the night! I went through a range of emotions, and the book had me thinking for a long time afterward and discussing it with friends. It's an amazing read!
