She's Too Pretty to Burn by Wendy Heard

3.0

Art can be beautiful and representative of changes or destruction happening in life. Yet, what happens when the obsession to create interactive art turns deadly. Mick wants to stay in the shadows while participating in the swim team but when she b begins a friendship with Veronica, her whole life will change. Heard weaves environmental art with the ordinary lives of teens, giving a glimpse into gorilla-style art. Yet, Heard takes this style of interactive art a step further, crossing a dangerous line. While the stunts the teens participate in are thrilling and illegal, there is not much suspense in the story. Only when they are actually knee-deep I'm trying to put an installment up does the suspense rise. Overall the plot was fairly slow for a thriller and often the reader is left with a sense of wanting more excitement. The audio to this book did add much-needed suspense with the great inflictions and tones.
