Thanks to NetGalley for an AAC for an honest review. I was drawn in by the beautiful cover and the synopsis. It started out with a young girl getting noticed at a mall to be a model and she drops out of high school to move to New York. I was interested from the beginning but it did get a bit boring and felt like not much was happening. It switched back and forth from the past and current time. I really did not like the ending, felt like it was all of a sudden just over. The narrator did do a good job on the audiobook.

- Did not finish. Completed 47% of the book.
- I wanted to finish this book but after completing almost being 50% of the books, I was not invested in the story or characters. It was slow to start and I was hoping it would pick up. I would not recommend this book.

This was my second book by Lo Patrick. My first was The Night the Rive Wept and I really enjoyed it. When I seen Fast Boys and Pretty Girls I was excited to read it. Unfortunately this book was not for me. The flash back chapters took over the whole story. I was so bored. I was thinking the book was more about the body the girls found but even half way through all you really learned was the back story which was not even entertaining. This was a DNF at almost half way through.

Thanks to NetGalley and Tantor Audio for a gifted copy in exchange for a honest review.

This was my very first audiobook by Lo Patrick, and well…it was just okay- like 2.5 stars rounded generously up to 3. Fast Boys and Pretty Girls is the story of former teen model, Danielle Greer who moves back to her childhood home with her husband and four daughters. One afternoon while Mom is napping, her daughters discover a body in the ravine behind their house. The main reasons I was drawn to this book was the description- love me a good general fiction/thriller/mystery. I just didn’t connect with this one, though. I didn’t find any of the characters very likable or relatable, and the story itself was the slooooowwwwest of burns. Oh my goodness. I wanted to love this, but it just wasn’t for me. Thank you to NetGalley and to Tantor Audio for the opportunity to have an early listen.
