review 1: Pretty is about everything I know nothing about, so that made it a little bit interesting to me. Bebe is a young woman with a troubled past and a rough road ahead. She worked as a stripper, addicted to alcohol and drugs, before winding up in court and being sent to rehab. Reading about her struggles and her thought processes, all completely foreign to me, made me thankful that I have never had such troubles in my life!
review 2: It has a promising start. The scene was Bebe and her then boyfriend Aaron was in a bar playing pool, high as kite. Aaron was a musician and Bebe fell in love with him and followed him everywhere. Nothing went as planned and she became an addict and a stripper. That fateful night Aaron died in a car accident. Bebe ended up in a halfwa... morey house in LA where she is studying cosmetology to give her some skills when she gets released. She met another questionable character as her new boyfriend, Jake; a paranoid schizo, who thinks he is Jesus. It was both weird and fascinating to read. I got bored a little reading stuff about nail care and its procedures but omitting those parts about cosmetology school, I was left curious on what bebe would do next. Bebe's past life flashback was a wonderful idea in this book. It explains and made me understand her colorful personality and the choices that she made in her life. It made me wonder is she would ever get past her issues and give a better future to ther person at the end of the story. I am impressed with Lauren's writing and hope to read more of her work. less
