An easy and fun read with twists and surprises. It's about two women, one a con artist with a con artist boyfriend and the other a wealthy heiress and major Instagram influencer. The story also provides insight into social media pros and cons and the disparity between the wealthy and the working class as well as the blurred lines between appearance and reality.

Praise For This Book


"A page-turner."-Real Simple

"Impossible to put down, Pretty Things is smart, seductive, and utterly captivating."-PopSugar

"Full of tantalizing twists and shocking deceptions, this is an intelligent social commentary that is also deliciously fun to read."-The Week

"It's Dynasty meets Patricia Highsmith... Duplicity abounds when two messed-up clans collide, and Brown's final multiple twists are doozies."-The Washington Post

"Fiendishly clever."-Kirkus Reviews

"A can't-look-away story of and for our generation, Pretty Things combines a spellbinding setting with dark, slippery secrets to expose what we've always known-or maybe just hoped-to be true about the gilded lives presented in our social media feeds. Janelle Brown is a literary powerhouse."-Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author of Whisper Network

"I devoured this book-an incredible read."-Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive and The Favorite Sister

"I love a good con story-especially when I can't tell who's the actual mark and who's the real con artist. In Janelle Brown's compulsively readable Pretty Things, the good girls and the bad girls keep switching places in a story that will keep you turning pages till the end. Even more richly told than Watch Me Disappear, Brown's latest novel has the same sharp observations that are her trademark-about shifting identities and the secrets we all keep."-Attica Locke, author of Heaven, My Home
