Day Twenty Three - All About Pretty Crooked + Giveaway


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Book Profile

Name - Pretty Crooked ( Goodreads )
Author - Elisa Ludwig
Genre - Contemporary/Thriller
Release Date - 13th of March 2012
Available - The Book Depository

Willa’s secret plan seems all too simple: take from the rich kids at Valley Prep and give to the poor ones.

Yet Willa’s turn as Robin Hood at her ultra-exclusive high school is anything but. Bilking her “friends”—known to everyone as the Glitterati—without them suspecting a thing is far from easy. Learning how to pick pockets and break into lockers is as difficult as she’d thought it’d be. Delivering care packages to the scholarship girls, who are ostracized just for being from the “wrong” side of town, is way more fun than she’d expected.

The complication Willa didn’t expect, though, is Aidan Murphy, Valley Prep’s most notorious (and gorgeous) ace-degenerate. His mere existence is distracting Willa from what matters most to her: evening the social playing field between the haves and have-nots. There’s no time for crushes and flirting with boys, especially conceited and obnoxious trust-funders like Aidan.

But when the cops start investigating the string of thefts at Valley Prep and the Glitterati begin to seek revenge, could Aidan wind up being the person that Willa trusts most?

The Insider's Scoop

25 Facts about Me by Willa Fox

Age: 15
Hair color: Blondish-brownish with an auburnish glow.
Eye color: Hazel
Height: 5’2”. Maybe 5’2½” on a good day
Hometown: Right now? Paradise Valley, AZ, but I’ve moved, like, dozens of times.
Personal style: Thrift store chic meets Neiman Marcus with a little Zooey Deschanel thrown in for good measure.
Best trait: My sense of righteousness
Worst trait: I tend to get a little too caught up in my sense of righteousness.
Favorite food: My mom’s no-bake cashew cookies
Career aspirations: Poet, psychologist and/or burglar
Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?: Tea
Favorite movie: Rififi. If you’ve never heard of it, you need to remedy that.
Favorite artist: My mom, Joanne Fox
Favorite color: Indigo
Astrological sign: Taurus, baby. Mess with the bull and you get the horns.
Favorite music: Old-school hip-hop. Also Beach House, Marnie Stern and Dum Dum Girls.
Favorite pickpocketing move: The Ronaldinho, but I haven’t tried it yet (swear!). You’ve gotta hug someone to make it work.
Dream boy: A brain, a badass and biceps, wrapped up neatly with a bow, thanks.
Favorite object in the world: My vintage Schwinn. I tricked it out myself with a crushed velvet seat, chrome fenders and a headlight, because I like to ride in style.
Person you most admire: Probably my mom, and maybe my best friend Cherise as a close second
Fashion obsession: Shoes. You can never have too many shoes.
Favorite sport: If biking doesn’t count, then shopping. I can work up a sweat at a good sale, believe me.
Dogs or cats?: Never lived anywhere long enough to have a pet, but if I had my choice I would probably get a monkey. Or maybe a dog named Monkey.
Goal you’d like to achieve this year: Survive my first year at Valley Prep with a decent GPA and no jail time.
What would you most like to change about the world?: Easy. I would get rid of the bullies.
