Burn for Burn by Jenny Han, Siobhan Vivian
4.0
What it's about: Three girls create an unlikely alliance when each of them decide they want revenge. Together they make a pact, and start to take down each person, but at the end of it all, will it really be what they want?
What I thought: Burn for Burn was a fantastic contemporary novel about three teenage girls getting revenge on the people that wronged them. It's witty and fun, and you can't help but get yourself involved in their little schemes. Lilliana is trying to get back at her friend Alex for messing with her sister, Kat is trying to get back at her ex-best friend Rennie for being herself (a bitch), and Mary is trying to get back at Reeve for humiliating her all those years ago. They have the plan, they have their pact, but it doesn't quite go according to plan...
Burn for Burn is a fantastic contemporary novel if you want a fun read. The characters are well written and the plot evolves along with them, immersing you in what's going on. It left with a cliff-hanger, and now I desperately want more!
The Good: I love how each bit is planned out, and that the girls form an unlikely friendship. Plus the serious love triangles that obviously go on! Too much fun :)
The Bad: *Spoiler alert* So is Mary supposed to be some kind of Supernatural being? A witch or something? I believe this wasn't necessary and really dragged the book down unfortunately.
Rating: 4 bookstacks
