SO MUCH PRETTY BY CARA HOFFMAN
What starts as a typical suspense/whodunnit type of thing becomes more rich and layered the more you read. Told from many perspectives of a few different characters and documents, the story of a missing girl in a small town becomes so much more by the time you’re done reading and the way the different sides of a couple crimes are revealed are so well written and observed that this becomes a great book.
Exploring themes of Feminism, Class, Environmentalism, Small-town-life-vs.-Big-City, So Much Pretty had me hooked. The people in this book were always fascinating and this reads way better than books like this tend to. You will question when a member of a society has the obligation to speak up, to tell, even at the risk of their own comfort. I highly recommend this book and will be waiting less than patiently for Hoffman’s second book.
