Sometimes you know you are going to like a book within reading the first three pages, and “Pretty” by was just that kind of book. “Pretty” follows the life of Bebe Baker, an ex-everything: ex-stripper, ex-Christian, ex-drug addict, ex-pretty girl, after the car accident that killed her boyfriend.

About “Pretty“:
“Bebe Baker is an ex-everything: ex-stripper, ex-Christian, ex-drug addict, ex-pretty girl.
“Pretty is the not-so-pretty, utterly riveting, non-stop frantic and compulsively readable saga of Bebe Baker, a heroine who knows her way around a serious binge. The prose, at times, drives with such ferocious urgency that the words seem not so much written as willed onto the page. Pretty stands out as a triumph of survival testimony.”
