Book Review: Pretty

Same author, fiction. This main character is named Bebe (Beth) and she is an exotic dancer. One night, something tragic happens to her and her boyfriend, and her life is forever changed.

Most of the story is set in the rehab house called Serenity where she is staying to get clean. But the vivid description of the other girls in the house and the cosmetology school where she's working to get her license are descriptive and draw you in to the story.

Sometimes, I feel when things go wrong, they go really wrong for a while. And it feels like maybe it will never be right again. In this story, you can see the wrong happening, one thing after another, and some of it is Bebe's fault (she had control over it) and some of it isn't. I feel like it's the human condition to constantly keep fighting to stay above water and this book is about one of those swims.

So I hope those two books may bring some reading pleasure to anyone enjoying time off over the holiday. You can hear both of Lauren's Moth pod-casts here (the one for her son's adoption and the one discussing her trip to Borneo), and her website is www.jillianlauren.com.

Let me know if you decide to read these (I got them from Overdrive so I was able to check them out at my library free of charge), and what your thoughts are!

Happy Reading,
