Pretty Bad things by C.J. Skuse

 


I have read a few of C.J. Skuse more recent books and I LOVE them so I had a look at her others and they all sounded right up my street so a little Amazon order later and I got a nice little package.
This is her first book and I devoured it in a couple of days. It follows 16 year old twins Paisley and Beau on their way to find their dad in Las Vegas. Along the way they get up to Bonnie and Clyde-esque antics to get their faces seen in hopes that their dad will see it. 
There is no stuffing in this book, its cover to cover of everything that keeps you captivated, invested in Paisley and Beau's journey. Even though their antics are not legal you can't help but want more. 
As a YA novel there are elements that are not quite child friendly, it does cover sex in the beginning and there is violence but I think for teens it's not a bad read. 
There is only a tiny downside to this book and that's how it ends. I have questions. 

I highly recommend this book.
