Her Pretty Lies by Angela Henry tosses us into the chaotic life of a grad student named Kendall: she’s broke AF, her fellowship is in limbo, and her love life is a bad romance. And that’s before we get to her controlling mother. Kendall’s only confidant is her diary, but even that is trouble. Out of nowhere, she gets a risky offer from Mackenzie, a mysterious social media influencer. This short-term gain is bound to be a long-term loss, as Mac leads Kendell into an entire world of deception and tricks.
The early pacing might seem slow for some, but the intrigue picks up, pulling us into a whirlwind of psychological drama and surprises. Angela’s writing style is raw, real, and snarky, reflecting the chaos of the characters’ lives. All of this leads to a third act that throws a barrage of curveballs at us—leaving no time to catch our breaths. Her Pretty Lies doesn’t rush the ending; it unravels with the intensity that makes thrillers gripping—delivering an ending that blends the highs of a psychological thriller with the unpredictable twists of human nature.
