Description
The author of the bestselling novel The Party—lauded as “tense and riveting” by New York Times bestselling author Megan Miranda—returns with a chilling new domestic drama about two women whose deep friendship is threatened by dark, long-buried secrets.
Frances Metcalfe is struggling to stay afloat.
A stay-at-home mom whose troubled son is her full-time job, she thought that the day he got accepted into the elite Forrester Academy would be the day she started living her life. Overweight, insecure, and lonely, she is desperate to fit into Forrester’s world. But after a disturbing incident at the school leads the other children and their families to ostracize the Metcalfes, she feels more alone than ever before.
Until she meets Kate Randolph.
Kate is everything Frances is not: beautiful, wealthy, powerful, and confident. And for some reason, she’s not interested in being friends with any of the other Forrester moms—only Frances. As the two bond over their disdain of the Forrester snobs and the fierce love they have for their sons, a startling secret threatens to tear them apart.
Because one of these women is not who she seems. Her real name is Amber Kunik. And she’s a murderer.
In her masterful follow-up to The Party, Robyn Harding spins a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal, asking the question: Can people ever change? And even if they can, is it possible to forgive the past?

Reviews
I enjoyed the story’s journey through the emotional challenges of seemingly endless ways of wanting acceptance and connection.
Very enjoyable.
This book is told from three different perspectives: DJ, Frances, and Daisy. It takes place in the past and the present simultaneously. The audiobook is highly recommended, as it is narrated by three different individuals, making for an easy listen.
Robyn Harding is a master at exploring the relationships between parents and children and friendship as seen in her book The Party. While I was able to guess some of the twists in the book, it was greatly entertaining right until the last word. I felt connected to Frances, as all women at one point or another experience a touch of insecurity.
Robyn Harding has solidified her spot as a must-read author on my list. 4/5 stars for Her Pretty Face.
