Burn for Burn by Jenny Han, Siobhan Vivian

4.0

I love Jenny Han’s writing. She write some wonderfully, fluffy love stories, she normalizes mixed race families with each new book series and she makes sure to include families in her books. She is my go to for cute, contemporary fiction.

I was completely taken by surprise about how dark and gruesome this book got. Our protagonist talked like teenagers, they had sex and weren’t slut shamed for it and they were just some straight up mean girls.

I loved the idea of getting revenge on the people that make you miserable in high school. Each girl had a specific target in mind but all the girls had to help with the schemes. It caused the girls to form a very odd and secretive friendship. They bonded over the hell other people put them through.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought the ending was brilliant I cannot wait for the next book.

I give this book a B.

I just wasn’t a fan of the love story between Lillia and Alex. I am just not a fan.
