“The lies I tell serve a purpose, tipping karma in the right direction. Returning power to those who have lost it. The difference between justice and revenge comes down to who’s telling the story.”

My biggest gripe with the book is that it gives "all men are trash" vibes. The female characters are deep and complicated, while the males are very flat and one sided. The arguably one "good" male character is barely in the book and plays such an insignificant role.
That being said, it isn't too hard to overlook it a bit because the girls are the main focus. It is a page turner that keeps you on edge.

I really enjoyed this one, though i did initially have some trouble keeping up in the earlier parts. despite the clearly marked beginnings of chapters, i still found myself occasionally confused with the regular flashbacks. that could very well just be a me issue, of course, but i did want to mention it. it's a dual pov novel that goes back and forth in time with both characters, all in first person.
i am here for a con artist revenge story, and i like the way the book ended with each character quite. possibly a bit too much info-dumping right at the end which some people may not care for, but this was still highly enjoyable and found me cheering for both kat & meg.

Kat is a journalist that is just starting out. When she takes a call from Meg about the principal she decides she can turn this into a career changing story, little does she know it will change her whole life.
Meg is back and now Kat is ready to expose Meg for the con artist she is. Turns out Meg may not be what Kat thought she was.
Told in th characters dual perspectives the book looks at friendship, revenge, and helping those that need it.
