She's Too Pretty To Burn by Wendy Heard Release Date: March 30th, 2021 Goodreads Link Author's Website Why I love this book: This book was such a roller coaster of a read. At the jump I thouht it was going to be a pretty straight forward story, we knew there'd be a mystery, but I didn't anticipate how many twists and turns there would be. I'm not going to get too deep into the story, because I definitely don't want to spoil anything. At the center of the book are Mick and Veronica, who meet at a party and become immediately infatuated with eachother. Throughout the book I went back and forth on whether they were the best thing to happen to eachother or the absolute worst. They are both a complete disaster, but you want them to figure themselves out and, for me, I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted them to figure it out together as a team or if I wanted them to go their seperate ways. Mix into that the fact that both have a wild streak and a penchant for doing things that are dangerous at best and straight illegal at worst and you have a story that is absolutely bonkers in the best way possible. I finished the book still not 100% sure if these characters were good guys who sometimes did bad things, or if they were bad guys who did bad things but for the right reasons. I love books that are ambiguous, that make the reader really think about not just who the characters are, but who the reader is. She's Too Pretty To Burn hit that note perfectly.
