Funny book about love triangles, friendship, and discovering your sexuality. It could be a book for boys or girls, but I recommend for the older crowd. "Guitar Girl" was a great book by Manning and "Pretty Things" has the same kind of humor. ( )

Brie is just a normal girl who’s insecure and is madly in love with her gay friend, Charlie Walker is falling for the lesbian girl, and Daisy who finds out the she isn’t a total lesbian. She and Walker fall for each other and he doesn’t want it to be like that because Daisy has a girlfriend. I choses this book because it looked funny.

i will say that this book did hold my attention at best....but the characters were were...just so dense and it was just way to much. i honestly want to know how authors come up with character like these...an d if you read the book, then you wouldnt know either ( )

It was really good but i wouldn't recomend that anyone under the age of 12 and a 1/2 read it. Cause it can be a bit dursturbing. ( )

Sara Manning writes a wonderful book called Pretty Things about four very intersting teenagers. Brie and Charlie have been best friends since they were in grade school. Everyone thinks they seem like a perfect couple but unluckily for Brie Charlie's gay and is in love with a bad boy he's never even talked to named Walker. When Charlie drags Brie to drama camp they're in for one uproarious time. At the camp Charlie and Brie meet Walker (Charlie's crush) & Daisy, a punk bisexual who hates the world. In this mysterious love triangle things get heated and hilarious. I loved Pretty Things and it kept me laughing the whole way through. Written by a British author it's full of wit.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0142405396, Paperback)

Brie is in love with Lancôme Juicy Tubes, Louis Vuitton accessories, and her gay best friend Charlie, who is in love with 1960s pop art, 1980s teen movies, and serial heartbreaker Walker, who has ever only been in love with his VW Bug, until he meets Daisy . . . who is too busy hating everyone to know what love is. Set in London, this girl-loves-boy-loves-boy-lovesgirl romp is set against a theatrical production of The Taming of the Shrew, and features enough on- and off-stage drama to satisfy teens looking for a beach read—or a read all year round.
