I really enjoyed this one. It was light, funny, and a quick read with a dash of spice. I read this in one sitting and found it super enjoyable. What more could you want?

There were times I wanted to absolutely strangle the main character, but I still found myself rooting for her all the same. I really enjoyed her character development, I felt like she had grown significantly, especially in her treatment towards her love interest.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What an absolutely delightful summer read. Pull up your beach chair, and get ready to enjoy The Sweetest Revenge by Lizzy Dent. Amy Duffy has a bit of a bad break up that lands her as the internet's latest viral craze and she flees to London to start over. Fast forward a couple of years and she meets her new neighbor Jake who is now going through a similar viral mishap. Amy’s past comes knocking and through her friendship with Jake she starts to heal and move on from the shame she’s dealt with. Overall, the burn was so slow in this book and the tension was just delightful. It was a fun, quick read and I recommend throwing it in your bag for the beach or pool and get ready to fall in love with Amy and Jake – with a few laughs along the way. I’ll definitely be going back to read Lizzy Dent’s other books – this one was enjoyable and fun!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided to me through NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to Lizzy Dent and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam for giving me the opportunity to read this book!

Amy Dents writing style is enjoyable enough, but it wasn't enough for me to feel that I liked this book. I found it very difficult to connect with Amy. Her actions regarding her fight with Chris were juvenile and disgusting. Especially considering it was her own fault she missed her cousins wedding. This gave me the feeling that Amy isn't whole without a man, and that she us incapable of acting like an adult or caring for herself. And how is it that a disgruntled coworker just happened to be around the night Amy decides to cosplay as the world's grossest car wash? As far as Jake and Amy go, they were amazing coworkers, but the romantic chemistry just wasn't there. I would have enjoyed this more with this attempt at a relationship and with Amy learning to be independent.
