The Revenge Playbook by Rachael Allen
1.0
This one was pretty terrible. I felt like the main message was convoluted. If girl power was such a strong theme, then why undermine the bonds and friendships by making relationships such a huge part of the story? Maybe Allen is trying to show that not all men are evil, but I still felt some inherent biases coursing underneath the story.
Is this supposed to be set in Conservative Middle America? It felt almost TOO MUCH too me. There's no way a town could be so completely defensive of inexcusable behaviour. The internet exists??? We don't live in a bubble?? Someone would put an end to this much injustice, and revenge is never the answer. Stop trying to justify vindictive behaviour. It was really difficult to suspend my disbelief to roll with the storyline. Unfortunate, because I was such a fan of Allen's debut title!
