Thank you to Sourcebooks Fire, and NetGalley for the gifted ebook of The Last Beautiful Girl!  All opinions in this review are my own.

In this YA adaption of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Izzy is forced to leave her life in Brooklyn behind as her parents move her to a small town.  At least she gets to live in a beautiful mansion once belonging to an artist's muse, even if it does need some updating.

When Izzy discovers some of Isabella's old dresses and jewelry, she creates an Instagram account where she dresses up as Isabella.  Izzy looks gorgeous in the photos, almost unnaturally so, and they quickly grow viral.  As her account gets more and more popular, a change comes over Izzy.  When other girls start getting hurt, it's clear there is something sinister going on.

I haven't read The Picture of Dorian Gray (hoping to change that this year) so I went into The Last Beautiful Girl with only a vague understanding of the novel it is based on.  Laurin does an excellent job creating a sinister atmosphere that creeps up on you as you read.  Despite the book being conversation heavy at times, the trepidation that something much worse was coming kept me reading.  I cannot wait to read The Picture of Dorian Gray now!
