The Book Guide® Editor

The novel’s central theme revolves around deception and the lengths to which people will go to create and maintain a facade. Brown skillfully explores the idea that even the most seemingly perfect lives are often built on lies and illusions. Both Nina and Vanessa are driven by ambition, and their pursuit of success leads them down dark and dangerous paths. As the story unfolds, Brown touches upon the theme of redemption and the power of second chances. The characters in Pretty Things are flawed, complex, and relatable, and their journey toward self-discovery and growth is a compelling aspect of the novel.
