Your Pretty Little Face Is Going To Hell

Ever heard of a book that's both dark and hilarious? One that makes you cringe and laugh out loud at the same time? Then you need to know about Your Pretty Little Face Is Going to Hell.

What's the Deal With This Book?

It's basically a collection of short stories. Each one is about awful, privileged women. They're all making terrible life choices. And it's absolutely glorious.

Think Mean Girls meets Dante's Inferno. But funnier. Way, way funnier.

Why Is It So Good?

First off, the writing is sharp. Author April Genevieve Tucholke has a real knack for dark humor. She knows how to twist the knife and make you giggle at the same time. It's a gift, really.

The characters are also amazing. They're all awful, but in different ways. You'll recognize bits of people you know (and maybe bits of yourself) in these characters. Don't worry, we all do!

And let's be honest, it's fun to read about bad behavior. Especially when it's not your bad behavior. It's a safe way to explore the darker side of human nature.

The Appeal of Schadenfreude

We all have a little bit of schadenfreude in us, right? It's that secret delight we get from seeing others stumble. This book is pure, unadulterated schadenfreude fuel.

It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know you shouldn't be looking, but you just can't turn away. It's horribly compelling.

The stories are short and punchy. Perfect for reading on your commute or during a quick break. Each one is a little dose of delicious darkness.

Examples to Enjoy

Imagine a story about a beauty pageant queen who makes a deal with the devil. Or a socialite who accidentally starts a cult. Or a group of teenage girls who get involved in some seriously shady business.

The book takes on many taboo themes. Each story holds it's own dark theme with wit and sarcasm. No matter what is being discussed, it will have you turning the pages.

These are just a few examples, but it gives you an idea of the tone. It is wicked. Hilarious. Just brilliant.

More Than Just Laughs

Believe it or not, there's actually some depth to this book. Beneath the dark humor and outrageous characters, there are some interesting observations about society. Particularly about the pressures put on young women.

It's not all just giggles and gasps. There are moments that will make you think. Maybe even make you feel a little bit bad for these awful characters. But only a little bit!

Tucholke holds a mirror up to the darker side of our culture. And then she smashes that mirror into a million hilarious pieces.

Give It a Try!

So, if you're looking for something different, something a little bit edgy, and something that will make you laugh until your sides hurt, give Your Pretty Little Face Is Going to Hell a try. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it.

Just be prepared to feel a little bit guilty. And maybe hide it from your grandma.

You'll thank me later!
