Lynnie 
young adult, contemporary fiction
So look, this is kind of a silly book but it was exactly the kind of silly escapism I needed in my life this week. #Prettyboy Must Die was short, quick, & fun to read despite the implausible story. Honestly, it was just good fun. It would be a GREAT book for middle schoolers- the "romance" is pretty chaste & while there's lots of action, none of it is outrageously gory (you'll read more graphic scenes in Harry Potter books), & they will fall for the story hook, line, & sinker. If I read this in middle school I would have had a huge crush on the main character Peter/Jake- Kimberly Reid has written a character that is just so likable.
So, it's a strong recommendation for younger readers & adults who are willing to suspend disbelief & just enjoy a few hours of action.
