taquitospibil 's review for:
Revenge Cake
by Skyler Mason
This is exactly like when you have a bestfriend and she is in a toxic relationship with a guy and after months or even years they FINALLY breakup.
And you are happy for her because, yes, she wasn’t perfect during the relationship and made some mistakes, but the guy was a master manipulator jerk that didn’t deserve her at all.
So now its all good, maybe she even got a breakup glowup, maybe some spicy revenge or a good amount of closure and then,
OUT OF NOWHERE.
They get back together.
And you and everyone on the sidelines are like:
watafak? What goin’ onnnn?
It doesn’t make sense.
Well that feeling is what you are going to get while reading this book. So unsatisfying.
On the positive, hearing you bestfriends relationship drama is fairly entertaining at time so i give it that,
Also this book was well written, had a consistent plot, good characters (even though wanted to kill some of them) and was really realistic in its portrayal of some relationships.
Like when i tell you i have met so many guys just like Logan its kinda scary at this point. They are everywhere, in real life, on social media, he might be your boss or your boyfriend that is currently very sweet, or 3/5 guys from that skateboarding group.
They aren’t bad people per se but most of them have or will do some or most thing from the like bellow:
- are “nice guys”
- either have been in a bunch of relationships or have never had a “proper relationship”
- apparently all of their ex’s are crazy
- if they don’t cheat in you they will move on very quickly and maybe even where in a emotional relationship with the next person before the breakup.
- they will probably gaslight you. A lot.
- assume you are a cheater or always accuse you of cheating
- are “nice guys” (“nice guys” it’s basically those guys that expect something out of being nice, they might be charming or very very nice to you but then if you reject them (because you don’t owe them anything) they might get pissed, call u a b1tch, say “nice guys finish last” “all girls are the same” “most girls don’t like nice people they only date guys that treat them bad and bad boys” and something along those lines, obviously they aren’t all the same but it generally comes in the form of “i-give-or-treat-nice-girl-and-girl-must-date-or-hook-up-with-nice-guy-because-he-only-was-nice-to-get-something-in-return”
-may be very controlling
-say they “like feminism” but when you talk about it or call them out for their misogyny or internalised misogyny they get mad and defensive.
- if they don’t move on fast after the breakup they might stalk u o become obsessive.
Sorry if this turned into a feminist review or a “i kinda dislike some men” review but i had to, I couldn’t help myself, Logan was just way too spot on.
I don’t remember what i was going to say beforehand but overall this was a pretty good book and my low rating is mostly because I personally didn’t like the plot and the characters relationship, from an objective side of things i took another star because at some points the flash-blacks were a little messy and just dragged a lot the story.
2.5 stars.
P.S. I read other reviews and now I’m confused are we supposed to like their relationship and root for them????? Because if thats the case... khe? Que esta pasando aqui. Hopefully this was supposed to portray a realistic toxic relationship and that logan was written as a douche on purpose and lena leini o whatever her name is was also written annoying on purpose.
