![]() ![]() Though answers should come from her mother, Caroline has always been tight-lipped about her past. Already torn by this conflict and trying to keep how she feels about Macie from her mother, Lila has started to see and hear things that shouldn’t be there-and experiencing dark urges. This situation is complicated, however-Lila loves Macie as more than a friend and strives to make herself someone Macie could love. ![]() Lila knows deep down that she shouldn’t listen to Macie’s every word. When the book opens, she has finally found one, but her newfound pal Macie is a shallow girl and far from nice. Her whole life has been shadowed with worry that she will one day succumb to the mental illness her mother lives with and this seems to have left her with no real friends. Lila, who often calms her mother after nightmares, is only too used to how odd Caroline can be. Caroline Sawyer, a gifted sculptor, has always been troubled, and her daughter Lila, though not so obviously damaged, has never fit in either. Such a Pretty Smile, Kristi DeMeester’s second full novel, is a horror story that takes place as much inside its characters’ heads as it does outside them. ![]()
