Sky and Miko went to the same high school when they were kids. Miko asked Sky out on a date and Sky was beyond excited to go. When the realize reason for the date came to light, Sky was devastated and fled to England to live with her aunt. Miko buys the company Sky works for 7 years later and she pretends not to know who he is. She changed her name and appearance so she decides to get revenge on him by seducing him and then leaving him high and dry. The story unfolds from there. Miko pursues Lexi (Sky) and won't take no for an answer. It was a quick read and ended pretty abruptly. I would have liked to have seen more of their story in the future. Seven years ago while in high school Miko the most popular guy in school asks out Sky the awkward shy girl who had never had a date. Happier than she had ever been Sky got ready and went on the date. What started as the best day ever turned into the worst when Sky found out that Miko only asked her to win a contest. Now Seven years, and many cosmetic changes Lexi is not the girl she was.And then Miko runs into her, shocked Lexi acts as if she does know him and with the new appearance Miko has no clue she used to be Sky. Shocked and mad Lexi makes a plan to seek revenge but after spending time with Miko Lexi realizes that her plan has flaws, and what started as revenge quickly turns into something much different and something Lexi never imagined.I loved this book all I could think was why isn't this book longer, and how have I never read any books by this author before. Then there was the moment that turned the whole story and I didn't see it coming at all and it was so brilliantly written and made me smile like a fool. It made the book go from a 5 star to a 10 star for me. I fell in love with Sky right away and loved Lexi just the same. I wasn't sure about the surgery aspect to this book because its so sad that this really happens that people feel the need to go under the knife for wounds people have inflicted with words. But Georgia Le Carre pulled it off beautifully.And Miko, gah I loved him even at the beginning, you can see his beliefs being changed by Sky and her becoming something more than a contest. When we see him years later even without the full story you see him as a great hero. All around this was an amazing story that I read way to quickly, I would have loved this book to have been at least two hundred more pages. I was no where near ready to leave this world that was created.
What do You think about Pretty Wicked (2014)?
Incredibly short and kind of stupid. I expected so much more but it was so stupid.
