Synopsis: (Found on
Goodreads)
Poor Blake Dawkins! She's rich, she's gorgeous,
and she's the queen bee of Harrison High. The girls want to be her; the boys
want to—okay, enough said. But it turns out Blake’s life is not so perfect—just
talk to her dad, who constantly reminds her that she's not up to par, or to her
ex-bff, Audrey, who doesn't even look her in the eye.
Then Harrison—and every other high school in America—becomes obsessed with posting selfies on the ubiquitous Pretty App.

Overall Rating: 5/5
Although not as techy as The
Boyfriend App. This book is amazing. Would love to have seen more about
Audrey's real beauty app. It's awesome to see Blake be who she wants to be. Leo
was an interesting character and fit my ideal nerdy boy so that was a great
addition.
Cover: 5/5
I think the Boyfriend App and The Pretty App fit perfectly
together. They are simplistic and cute. They offer just enough tech to make you
know it’s an app as well as the font isn’t annoying.
Characters:
Blake: Mean girl realizing she will no longer be the biggest
fish in the sea after high school. I occasionally wanted to slap her but there
was reason behind it. She is well written and in the end she learns and grows
so much with Audrey’s help.
Audrey: Yay, geeky girl in the house again. She really steps
up to the plate even when Blake is being a total bitch. I feel like Audrey
really is relatable and almost stronger than Blake the MC. It might be because
there was more backstory on her originally.
Leo: I NEVER really liked him. I did understand him and got
use to his presence but in reality I wanted him to be the complete bad guy that
was just working the system.
Plot:
The 3-day reality TV show just wasn’t really doing it for
me. Sise talks about a few tough subjects like Social media`s portrayal of
women, cyber-bullying and gender identity. This wasn`t as techy as The Boyfriend
App but I think where the real story comes in at about breaking the “norms” of
high school and going out of your comfort zone is where this book really hits
home.

"Not
as techy as The Boyfriend App but it's nice to be back with amazing
characters and hear more about Blake."
