Review: Pretty Is - Maggie Mitchell - April 2016 According to Goodreads, I tried to read this book back in December 2016 and since I had marked it with two stars it meant I did not finish it. I don't fully remember, but since I still had it on my kindle, I decided to give it another go, and this time I did manage to read and finish it and enjoyed it. Pretty Is starts with two adults one is Chloe Savage who is now an actress and the other Lucy Ledger who is a mystery author of a book called Deep in the Woods. The book has now been adapted into a movie and Chloe Savage is to play the female cop, Mandy. As she reads the script, the story sounds familiar to what she went through with another girl in the 90's when she was 12 years old. Chloe tracks down the author and discovers it is none other than Lois and it seems though that someone is now wanting to pick up from where their kidnapper ended when two new girls both aged 12 years go missing from the film set of Deep in the Woods...
