The Sweetest Revenge is a perfect summer read if you're looking for a bit of comedy, a comeback story, and some love mixed in along the way. Amy and Jake are a perfect match of two people who have each suffered some epic viral humiliation (public urination on a car?! jumping off a cliff to escape reality tv?!) and are building themselves back up.
[Note: As I wrote this opening graph, I realized that Amy (the female MC) working on The Comeback Special for her network CTV is an extended metaphor for her personal comeback story that plays out throughout the novel. It's clear that my brain was not fully functioning from 4a-6a when I read this!]
Often times lately I have been reading books and feel like there are a lot of superfluous characters that are only there to fill space rather than add to the plot. The nice thing about this book for me was that every character who Dent bothered to introduce to the reader ended up playing some type of role in the overall arc of the narrative. Phew!
Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC.

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley- thank you!
This is the best Lizzy Dent book I've read so far! I liked Amy as a main character and thought it was interesting that it was set around the TV production world. I thought the romance was sweet and felt genuine.

The Sweetest Revenge was my first read by Lizzy Dent, and it didn't disappoint. It was a fun read starting with a dramatic breakup in the worst way, which ends up bringing flat neighbors Amy and Jake to meet each other.
This chance meet up ends up bringing to light some professional synergies - and time together, does it heal wounds?
Thank you to Netgalley and to Penguin Group for the ARC.

Loved the narrators of the audiobook alot especially the female narrator. I liked the story overall. I was going to feel a little bored at some point but then they start actually talking so I was glad.
I like friendships both the girls and the guys. Also, I really wanted to know Calum more. Another aspect I enjoyed is her family's story and relation. Also, The slow burn

It didn’t grab my attention in the first 20 pages like I wanted it to. It seemed cute, but I’m not a fan of the runaway trope and yeah, it just doesn’t seem like my cup of tea right now.
