She’s Too Pretty to Burn by Wendy Heard

As you can see, this post goes hand in hand with yesterdays. I don’t have a specific why, but when I write your typical book review, I stay on the surface seeing only black and white. At the same time, I believe that every book has its grey areas. When I write in verse or poetry, it helps my thoughts come out.

On Fire

You can feel on fire

When your life is

Down to the wire

When life and its entire

Goes against

Your every desire

Money

Money is like a wave

That can make you

Its slave

But love, can your only save

That helps you be brave

So that the world

You are ready to face

A Known Stranger

When you see a stranger

They say

You are in danger

But what if

That stranger is someone you know

And you are unable to say no

When your friend

Is the one

That holds your heart

And the gun?

I went into this novel thinking it will be an easy read with some in your face writing. I think when I started to read between the lines, I got two meanings. The one you put on social media and the other is real life and how the two don’t match and can’t even be compared.

This novel just came out, and I feel that many can relate to it. Since most of us have had a friend who became a stranger. I rated She’s Too Pretty to Burn by Wendy Heard a 4 out of 5 stars. It might be just me, but I needed more chemistry between the two love interest.
