Revenge of the Sluts by Natalie Walton
3.0
Trigger warnings for cyberbullying, harassment, revenge porn.
When an email gets sent to the entire student body of St. Joseph's High School that includes revealing photos of several girls in the senior class, Eden and her friends intend to figure out who could have done such a thing. Eden uses her journalistic skills to interview students and put together the pieces of the story with the help of several of the victims who have named themselves the Slut Squad. They are determined to catch the person behind the email while also bringing justice to the girls involved.
While I do believe Revenge of the Sluts had a great premise and themes throughout the story, it fell short for me overall. I loved the characters and watching the girls fight for what they believed in, but I just felt the story drag for the first 60% or so. Once I hit that mark, I was able to fly through the rest of the story because I was finally invested, but I just didn't feel like anything really happened for the first part of the story aside from the email getting sent. There was also way too much "telling" what was going on rather than providing visuals through descriptions, which kept me from really getting sucked into the story or captivated by it. It was just okay for me in the end!
