Synopsis:

The summer is winding down in San Diego. Veronica is bored, caustically charismatic, and uninspired in her photography. Nico is insatiable, subversive, and obsessed with chaotic performance art. They’re artists first, best friends second. But that was before Mick. Delicate, lonely, magnetic Mick: the perfect subject, and Veronica’s dream girl. The days are long and hot―full of adventure―and soon they are falling in love. Falling so hard, they never imagine what comes next. One fire. Two murders. Three drowning bodies. One suspect . . . one stalker. This is a summer they won’t survive.

Inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray, this sexy psychological thriller explores the intersections of love, art, danger, and power.

Review:

Thank you to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group and Netgalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I loved this book! Once I started reading I slipped effortlessly into its grasp where I was held tightly until it was over. It's an absolute page turner! I was on the edge of my seat for a very large portion of this book. Just when I thought it was okay to relax, things happen and I'm pushed right back to the edge. I never expected it to be so thrilling and exciting.

The writing in this book is absolutely fantastic. The story flowed wonderfully. It was an incredibly fast read and didn't feel like a 300+ page book. She's Too Pretty to Burn is told in multiple perspectives. Each character perspective is easy to differentiate from the others. This book is wonderfully told and expertly crafted.

I'd recommend this to anywho who enjoys thrilling, engaging and fun YA Thrillers.
