While Nick's such a jerk for cheating on his wife - on his student! how disgusting! - Amy's revenge is more fucked up. To think that she was pretending to be this cool girl for Nick all along for many years, and eventually got bored of the pretense and resented Nick for not taking a hint and wanting to get back on Nick for that matter.. that's just sooo manipulative and cunning, borderline psychopath (ironic na Psych grad iyang fam). Her finding out his husband cheating only fueled to her hatred and she devised a revenge to frame her husband for a nonexistent homicide.
Her revenge on her HS friend is brutal as heck, poor Hilary is victimized even though it's not her fault Amy decided to cut her off by blaming Hilary that she fell off the stairs (caused by Amy herself, to play victim). She even used her ex (forgot the name) in her desperation after her revenge escapade got ruined, eventually she killed him. A murderer.
Amy's a sociopath. Her seemingly perfect image is maintained using her devious, pavictim card. Her revenge is just petty, esp to Hilary, playing god and it's not even justified.
Overall, this book is really nice. It delved into a female character with questionable and borderline psyxhopathic/sociopathic behavior perfectly that I don't want to take anyone's sides.
