I’d heard of the Baby Caroline case, of course. When a baby is snatched from her mother’s arms, the whole country knows about it. I knew about the parents left lying by the swimming pool, the open window in the nursery. But I never dreamed it had anything to do with me. Today, my beautiful daughter turned one. We were unwrapping gifts and blowing out candles when the knock came at the door, and they took my mother away. The police say she’s not really my mother. That she stole me, 30 years ago.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Publisher's Summary
Everyone in the village admires Anna because she’s a wonderful mother. Juggling family life with a small sewing business, she’s the one they turn to for a warm hug after a hard day. Her kind, polite daughters are a credit to her - even Bay, her stepdaughter, whom Anna loves as much as her own two girls.
But normal family life changes overnight when Anna’s middle daughter’s beauty catches the eye of a stranger in a café. As jealousy erupts between the siblings, Anna’s perfect blended family begins to unravel around her. A devastating secret about the dangerous game they played when they were little girls threatens to break the surface - and the bonds of this close-knit family forever....
To save her girls, Anna must rethink everything she ever thought she knew about love, motherhood, and family. She must pick a side, an impossible decision for any mother, but believing the wrong daughter could be fatal.
Anna has already sacrificed so much for her family, but there are no limits to what a mother will do for her daughters....
The Pretty One is a stunning family drama that explores the dark consequences of sibling rivalry and the heart-wrenching emotional cost of keeping secrets from those you love. Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies, Little Fires Everywhere, and My Dark Vanessa.

Story
Brilliant, Unexpected, Very Original
I almost stopped listening to this book after the first couple of chapters.
It seemed that the story was well on its way to becoming another silly, far fetched, and shallow disappointment.
But I was so intrigued by premise, and because I truly loved the narrator, I stayed with it.
Slowly, layers develop. The characters become multi dimensional. And this book becomes so interesting and one can’t help but wondering where it’s all going.
The location is charming, there are several perspectives, and each is completely valid and relevant in its own way.
I could not believe how good this book got.
I ended up being just completely riveted by this extraordinary and unique read.
Just be patient with it. It will grow on you.
There are segments which are a little triggering but overall this book is well worth getting through those parts because, by the end, I was so glad that I finished it.
Things are so beautifully and artfully wrapped up.
This is a rare treat, a writer who understands how critical it is to bring things full circle and give her readers a totally satisfying finish.
I loved it, even though it’s got a thread of darkness running through. It is purposeful, poignant, and it is totally necessary to bring the story to its conclusion.
I highly recommend this one.
Claire Boyd understands human nature, and she writes descriptively and beautifully.
The narration is excellent, could NOT be better.
This also is such a pleasant surprise.
Excellent, entertaining, and thought provoking.

Hard to keep up with
I had the absolute hardest time trying to keep up and understand what was happening in the book. The narration was horrible. Every single character in the book, both male and female had the exact same voice. You could not keep up with who or which character was talking. They all sounded the same. This book should be read, not listened to.

Psychological drama
A captivating tale of sibling rivalry. I don't usually enjoy any novels with speech or thoughts from children but this book was different.
Strangely I enjoyed listening to the dark details of the modelling industry, mixed with the exploits of a dysfunctional family.
Perfectly narrated. Thankfully I couldn't relate to the jealousy between Nell and her stepsister but I could see how realistic the relationship was.
There weren't really any twists and turns but the characters were well-crafted and the psychological manipulation of Anna, their mother, was chilling.

Living the dream becomes a nightmare
Intriguing story of a young girl spotted by a Booker and thrown into the corrupt world of modelling, told through three different viewpoints of two sisters and their mother, each one has their own tale to tell. Fascinating especially as one sister is not as she seems bitter and revengeful and determined to get her way whatever the cost.

Disappointing
I feel this book could have been a short story . The content was tedious and boring. There was no plot nothing that wasn’t expected just a boring drawn out story about the modelling industry snd mixed up young girls . Whoda thunk it 😱
I hate to give up so I laboured on waiting for something exciting or meaningful or vaguely interesting to enfold but no ... a pointless waste of time
I would return the book but audible have said I can’t return anymore ( I’ve only ever returned a handful over the years ) therefore I warn you unless you like bland characterless storylines don’t buy this book .

Loved this book!
I found this book intelligent and well written. The author knows what she’s talking about, and there are no inconsistencies or plot holes. The characters are likeable and believable - at the start I wondered why Nell never spoke out but I came to understand the complicated dynamic within the family. I’m looking for more books by this author, I find it rare to get books that tie together so well. The reading was also great. Initially a bit annoying as it was from the point of view of a small child but that part is short and the rest is really excellent!
Highly recommended!

I’d heard of the Baby Caroline case, of course. When a baby is snatched from her mother’s arms, the whole country knows about it. I knew about the parents left lying by the swimming pool, the open window in the nursery. But I never dreamed it had anything to do with me. Today, my beautiful daughter turned one. We were unwrapping gifts and blowing out candles when the knock came at the door, and they took my mother away. The police say she’s not really my mother. That she stole me, 30 years ago.

Story
Penny Francone, age 16, is a murderer. Her guilt is beyond doubt: she was found alone in the victim’s apartment, covered in blood, holding the murder weapon. The victim’s identity and her secret relationship to Penny give Penny the perfect motive, sealing the deal. All the jury needs to decide now is where Penny will serve out her sentence. Will she be found not guilty by reason of insanity, as her lawyer intends to argue? Or will she get a life sentence in a maximum-security prison?

Story
I’d heard of the Baby Caroline case, of course. When a baby is snatched from her mother’s arms, the whole country knows about it. I knew about the parents left lying by the swimming pool, the open window in the nursery. But I never dreamed it had anything to do with me. Today, my beautiful daughter turned one. We were unwrapping gifts and blowing out candles when the knock came at the door, and they took my mother away. The police say she’s not really my mother. That she stole me, 30 years ago.
