She was insecure, an outcast in a world of beautiful, self-assured people with perfect children. The life makeover Frances Metcalfe hoped for when her troubled son was accepted at a prestigious private school only further isolated and unnerved her.

Then she met Kate Randolph and Frances finally had a true friend, an ally. The beautiful, self-assured woman was warm, interested and caring, but one of them has a heinous past, that once revealed will threaten to tear these women apart.

Her Pretty Face is my pick for what will be the most talked about book of the summer. After finishing it I am dying to talk to others about it and I think word of mouth will propel it to be popular. It is very difficult to discuss or review without any spoilers but I promise to mark them clearly. Everything I want to talk about happens after the first big reveal but I can’t get into it without spoiling the surprise. It wasn’t a huge surprise to me as I suspected Amber’s identity but I don’t want Her Pretty Face is my pick for what will be the most talked about book of the summer.

Her Pretty Face is a disturbing, haunting and infuriating story that has left me desperately wanting to talk to someone about it. On that note, this would be an excellent book club pick if your friends can stomach the implied violence. The worst acts are alluded to but never explained in detail so it’s graphic, but not too graphic. It is a book that gets in your head and will make you wonder about everyone. Is that PTA mom you hate actually a psychopath? Is your best friend? Your husband? Research says that 1 in 25 people are a sociopath. 4% of Americans are psychopaths and 5-15% are “almost psychopaths." Not all of these people kill but they are capable of it. It’s chilling to think about it too much. And after finishing this book you will be thinking about it. Too much.

Thank you to Gallery/Scout Press and Simon & Schuster Canada for providing an Electronic Advance Reader Copy via NetGalley for review.
