Pretty Little Dirty by Amanda Boyden
4.0
This book still holds up for me even after a 10-year gap in reads. My friend group read this book in middle school and it quickly became one of my favorites. I reread it several times in high school and saw a strong parallel between the lives of Lisa/Celeste and my own.
This is one of those books where if people relate to the content, they'll probably enjoy it a lot more. For others it can feel disturbing/unrealistic as Lisa and Celeste go down the path of self-destruction. I definitely love the first half of this more than the second because the build up of Lisa and Celeste's friendship is so pure.
It's definitely not the groundbreaking novel I felt like it was back in 2006, but I still love a lot about it, especially the second-person music breaks between chapters. I got so many great music recommendations from this book. It probably influenced my music taste a lot!
