TRIGGER WARNING! Do not read this book if you cannot or do not like to read about sensitive or trigger warning topics. I liked this book a lot I like her relationship with her neighbor and their honesty and how she handled herself during such a difficult time.

Such a Pretty Girl is dark and fast paced.  The ending was a little bit of a disappointment and felt a bit rushed.  I would still definitely suggest it for a book you cannot put down.
