A review by lorilaws
Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood by Eileen Cook

4.0

With high school looming on the horizon, Helen wasn't worried. She has her best friend Lauren and that's all she needs. Lauren had other plans. She wants to be popular so if that means dumping her best friend and spreading terrible lies, so be it. But for Helen it revenge!

I really loved this book! I try not to start off my reviews by saying that but I had to! It was a witty and intelligent tale of what revenge and popularity can do to people. It was also scandalous but still had a great message in the end.

Lauren was definitely one of those girls. You know, we all had one in high school. The one girl that just makes life a living hell for you. There's a little of Helen in all of us I think. The only difference is Helen goes out and gets her revenge. She doesn't just sit around and think about it. If you are not sure about reading this book, then read it just for the revenge tactics that Helen uses. They are genius! I would have never thought of them in a million years but they would work perfectly on any mean girl.

Overall this was a fun quick read that I recommend to everyone that didn't like high school. I will definitely be reading more by Eileen Cook.
