I am still trying to get all my thoughts together on this one…. Books like this always kill me. I have been in a bit of a reading funk lately and nothing has been able to capture my interest… UNTIL NOW! Liam< Grey and Donovan completely consumed me yesterday.... because it only took 1 day to read this... I was NOT going to bed until I finished it. This book was making me have some very physical reactions to it. The last time a book made me feel sick to my stomach with all the angst was a little over a year ago.... This one is going straight to my Top Reads of 2020. And I was sending out some pretty crazy rant messages over this. If you need a book to get your mind off of things THIS IS IT! And I NEED more from the Filthy Little world!! And I really need more Kai! I can not even imagine how freaking hot his story will be. Basically Trilina Pucci killed me with this book..... and I can not wait for more deaths when she gives us Caroline's story..... Or Kai's story..... I know they will both be more of the heart in my throat, want to throw my kindle, feeling all kinds of stabby type stories..... AND I WILL BE HERE FOR THEM!!!!!
When Grey McCallister was 12 years old he was best friends with Liam Brooks and Donovan Kennedy but Donovan’s parents split up and she was forced to move to Spain with her mom.
Now it’s 5 years later and Donovan is back and things have changed. Grey realizes he wants Donovan for himself but how much is he willing to risk? Will he give up his long time friendship with Liam when it’s clear that both boys want Donovan?
Will Grey end up hurting Donovan in his attempt to win her over?
This was a great book filled with a few great twists and lots of tension to make you wonder what is going to happen next.
I liked Grey but you could also tell how entitled he was right from the beginning of the book. That being said he had a terrible relationship with his dad who left him alone and was waiting for Grey to make a mistake so he could take the company Grey’s mom left him for himself. Grey didn’t let many people in and tried to control as much as he could around him. When Donovan came back Grey realized how much he cared about her and really wanted her for himself and he knew that he couldn’t share her.
Liam was a loyal friend to Grey but he also challenged him and never made life any easier for Grey. Liam also wanted Donovan and was a great friend to her whenever she needed him. He wasn’t going to back down and let Grey just take Donovan from him either.
Donovan was an interesting character as it sounded like she made some big mistakes in Spain which was why her mom sent her back to her dad. Yet Donovan didn’t have a good relationship with her dad and spent more time with the butler, Vic, than she did with her dad.
Donovan was really torn with her relationships with Grey and Liam. She knew that both of the boys wanted her and she didn’t want to lose either one of them and therefore wanted to remain “best friends” with each of them.
There was a real intensity between Grey and Donovan and it was clear how easily one of them could hurt the other and you knew that things between them bordered on more than friends. When certain secrets were revealed to others and got back to each of them there was so much hurt and then they tried to hurt the other one and soon a lot of damage was done.
My heart broke when I saw what was happening between Liam and Grey and I liked how other people began admitting their parts in everything falling apart.
The race at the end really had me worried but I loved how it all worked out!
The end was awesome and I was so happy for how it all turned out!
I am really looking forward to the next book with the small clues that were left for two other characters!
By Rebecca
Trilina Pucci has brought her A-game with Filthy Little Pretties! Everything about this book is freakin’ fantastic! Donovan, Liam and Grey were amazing characters with chemistry that just demand your attention and honestly, you will not be able to put this book down. This was a beautiful, intense story of love and friendship.
Looking for an angst filled read with an abundance of sexual tension, then this is the book for you.
Donovan, Grey and Liam had been childhood best friends before Donavan was sent to stay with her mother in Europe splitting this threesome up. Now, five years later Donovan is back and the need for each other is still there. Except for this time, Grey and Liam are fighting to make Donovan theirs, all while Donovan is fighting her own feelings and keeping them at a distance so that their friendships with each other isn’t harmed.
I loved how this book was written. The friendship that they all shared was believable, with each friendship equally justified and having their own place. Then there was the sexual tension which got greater and greater, I was dying for someone to snap and at one point I definitely thought they would be a threesome.
This is a YA story with all the usual teenage themes and school hierarchy with people fighting for their place.
Although this is a love triangle read and the angst between everyone is there, the book is told from a dual perspective so it leads you to know who will be the victor but it didn’t put me off as the story between these three pulled me right in.
This story is definitely one for all the angst lovers and those who love teen drama, bully romance and a sexy read. I love Pucci’s writing and can’t wait to see what’s next in this series? Please say Caroline???

4.5 First, Last and Only Stars
Trilina knocked it out of the park with this NA goodness! I’m usually a little nervous when reading about high schoolers and their shenanigans, but Trilina portrayed the journey between these three, childhood best friends beautifully. Donovan, Grey and Liam meet at the tender age of 12. They may have been young, but the foundation they forged was the glue that would bind them together.
The three of them were so dynamic in their own ways, yet they complimented one another beautifully. Liam was sweet and caring, where Grey was broody and unrelenting. Van loved them both for their different personalities, they filled a part of her she’d been missing as long as she could remember. Van was tough, man I loved that about her. She stood her ground and stood up for herself in a way that made me proud.
There was some serious HEAT in this romance. My Kindle almost caught on fire and I was about to combust from the sexiness. My heart broke for these three, the feels were at an all time high. Money certainly can’t buy you love. The three of them had access to more than most can imagine, but being loved is priceless and that’s what they longed for. What a great journey this was!
Donovan (Van), Liam and Grey have been a threesome of best friends since they were kids. But now they’re being torn apart because Van has to move away with her family. Before she leaves, Grey makes her a promise – “First. Last. And only.” meaning first friends, the last boys she’d ever love, and our only family. Will the three maintain that closeness once she leaves? What happens if she comes back years later and things are different? But the same too?
What Van comes back to is pure chaos. Dirty chaos as she tries to navigate high school, mean girls, and taking back her best friends. Only she loves one of them as more than a friend. The question is, will he make her choose between the two boys she loves most? Or can they maintain their threesome of best friends AND her in love and together with one of them?
Damn but this is one crazy ass story. There’s love and pain and secrets and lots of filthy lust. I won’t say which boy I favored or whether Van chose the one I wanted, but I will say the one I didn’t favor is a dick and the other is a sweetheart. Van certainly had her work cut out for her being in a friendship with those two!
After reading her Sinful series I thought I knew what to expect from Trilina Pucci’s latest novel Filthy Little Pretties. I was no where close as she took her writing to the next level with this novel. Filthy Little Pretties was everything you could want in a novel and then more. It was packed with emotion that will give you all the feels, characters you will both love and hate, intense chemistry and tension, hott, steamy scenes, a friendship unlike no other and so much more.
This story had me engrossed from the prologue and I could not put it down, as I was captivated by these characters and the relationship between them. The story was intense and angsty and I couldn’t wait to see how things played out between Liam, Grey and Van. Their story was so well written you could feel each character’s emotions and you will love them equally. This novel was an epic teenage romance and I absolutely loved it. Definitely worthy of a 5 star status, I would highly recommend this page-turner to all lovers of mature YA romance.
Filthy Little Pretties by Trilina Pucci is a angsty sexy read that will suck you in from the first page and won’t let go! Grey and Donovan are the ultimate couple who push each other to the breaking point while still being there for one another when it truly matters. Amazing job Trilina with this new series!
5 FILTHY LITTLE STARS!! Grey, Liam and Donovan grab my attention from the first page. These three have one heck of a story to tell you, from a young age as friends through their teenage years. The feels and angst were off the charts in this book, just the right amount for the perfect book. Trilina Pucci is a phenomenal storyteller and you need to read this book.
“It’s the bar all men are measured by. Every girl has one–the crush who set the standard. I just have two.”
I’ve seen this book compared to the likes of Gossip Girl and Cruel Intentions, but confession: I’ve not watched those so I can’t say those are the vibes it gave me. I will say, Filthy Little Pretties was high-octane, angsty NA excellence!
I was easily drawn into this story with the heart-tugging exchange of three childhood friends. An exchange and goodbye that set the bar on how much Donovan, Grey, and Liam meant to each other. Flash forward five years, we’re catapulted into a chaotic, captivating ride of elite teens–reunited and shamelessly ready to take what they want. Each were authenically unique which made their friendship all the more special.
Donovan’s sassy, in charge attitude had me forsure not wanting to be on the recieving end of her wrath. Plus when it came to her guys, you could always feel how torn she was between them, and that hurting them was never her intentions. Liam Brooks was absolutely swoon-worthy! He was the one who would drop everything to be there for his friends, and his carefree personally was infectious. Grey McAllister: Where do I start with him? Arrogant, broody, wreckless. At times he made me absolutely rage-y; however, he was also the one to pulled on my heart strings the most! My heart was torn for all three friends from beginning to end.
I couldn’t get enough of this sexy, immaculate, pulsating world Trilina Pucci crafted. It was highly addicting and I LOVED EVERY SINGLE MOMENT!
WOW! I can not believe what I’ve just read! This is EPIC! I mean it! Epic new adult romance. Buckles up you guys because this story will mess with your head, destroy your feelings and will crack open your heart.
I felt like I’ve been on the highest emotional rollercoaster during the reading Filthy Little Pretties book. It was gut-wreching, blood boiling and heart squeezing story about hard choices between friendship and young love so pure but intense, wild but very painful sometimes.
We never love again like when we’re young. Hard, fast and without an apologies.
Grey, Donovan, Liam. They are rich troublemakers and powerful elite teenagers. Three individuals and each brings something thrilling into the story. Being young is not easy, full of wrong decisions and bad actions. They made mistakes and then makes some more to finally find their own path. There was some young drama but I loved every single moment with this book and those heroes. Their chemistry was out of the charts and I was swooning over their sizzling relationship, lust and desire.
I was wondering how they will cope with their so complicated friendship.
My eyes carry me through the written words so fast and I couldn’t stop reading, completely hooked by the emotional plot full of twists and turns in the story.
Trillina Pucci tease and tempt with this story, pushing us to the emotional edge all the time until we’re dying from anticipation for more. Filthy Little Pretties is deliciously blended story with everything what I love and crave in romance books. New adult story with the slow burn and forbidden romance and from friends to lovers genre. But definitely I’ve never read something like that before. She surprised me, shocked me and penetrated my feelings to the core with that plot.
Trilina Pucci you slayed with this new adult romances and I need more that kind of your stories asap.

4.5!
FLP was my first book by Trilina Pucci and definitely will not be my last! This book pulled me in from the first page. It was overflowing with angst and emotion. The characters had depth, the chemistry was scorching, and the plot kept me captivated! This is a must read!!
Holy… WOW, Trilina Pucci tried to break my heart!
I don’t even know where to begin. I fell in love with Donovan on page one, and by page 5 I was in love with both Grey and Liam! A phenomenal story that IS slow burn, it just doesn’t feel like slow burn.
Their parents are horrible, and the things they do to each other more horrible and saddening. When push comes to shove the three of them might burn the whole world down and leave Caroline holding the grand prize.
A phenomenally dark, sometimes sad, occasionally darkly funny story where even the winners might not win it all. Worth far more than 5s, and I hope there will be something with just Kai because that boy is too demonically sweet not to have his own tale.
