So Much Pretty by Cara Hoffman

So Much Pretty by Cara Hoffman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this as a Good Reads first reads giveaway.  My edition has a white cover.

I found this book hard to get into initially. Once I figured out the story had several narrators, it started to come together for me.  Ultimately, the story about how a woman went missing and then found dead involves many people. It brings up issues regarding personal accountability and the impact of various social ideals and the dangers of imposing those ideas onto others. It also reinforces a well-known fact that most crimes against woman are by people they know and that "stranger danger" is most likely the people with whom you live, work, befriend and trust. I was left still pondering the story long after I had finished, thus the author's intention.  Sometimes, stories don't have neatly wrapped up "happily ever after" endings, that can often be predictable and expected.

Don't let the layout of the book turn you away or frustrate you.  If you keep with it you will discover the purpose and an incredible story based on a real criminal case.
