I really enjoyed this book.  It gives OG Gossip Girl vibes with gorgeous, rich characters planning and executing revenge plots to entertain themselves.  Our FMC, Walker, reluctantly returns to her hometown and gets swept back up into it, including spending time with her former love, Heath.  These two had chemistry off the charts and this book features some scenes that still live rent-free in my mind (I'm looking at you library...)  I also loved seeing them both open up to one another to overcome past issues.  The revenge plots were high stakes and entertaining and left me wanting more.  Despite having little in common with any of the characters, the whole book felt relatable and familiar to me.
