Synopsis: What you see isn't always what you get.
Stevie never meant for things to go this far. When she and Dee--defiant, bold, indestructible Dee--started all this, there was a purpose to their acts of vengeance: to put the bullies of Woepine High School back in their place. And three months ago, Stevie believed they deserved it. Once her best friend turned on her, the rest of the school followed. Stevie was alone and unprotected with a target on her back. Online, it was worse.
It was Dee's idea to get them all back with a few clever pranks, signing each act Love, Heather--an homage to her favorite 80's revenge flick. Despite herself, Stevie can't help getting caught up in the payback, reveling in every minute of suffering. And for a while, it works: it seems the meek have inherited the school.
But when anonymous students begin joining in, punishing perceived slights with increasingly violent ferocity, the line between villain and vigilante begins to blur. As friends turn on each other and the administration scrambles to regain control, it becomes clear: whatever Dee and Stevie started has gained a mind--and teeth--of its own. And when it finally swallows them whole, one will reemerge changed, with a plan for one final, terrifying act of revenge.
This hit deep y'all.
Revenge and thrilling read that was perfect for October! I'm excited by all the suspense and thriller-filled books I've gotten to read this fall (like 3 LOL)!
Our main character, Stevie is growing up in the 80s and 90s when technology is really affecting somethings in high schools, like cyber-bullying for instance. This book highlights perfectly the spiral teens go through and the hardships of navigating it. A great read for not just YAs, but also adult readers for sure! [Warning: There is bullying, cyberbullying, toxic female friendships, etc.]
Laurie Petrou did amazing weaving everything (especially the plot twists!!) and Stevie's character was out of this world! She was so concrete and perfect for the role she played.
The plot is initially what drew me in, but then Stevie hit the nail on the head with a hammer and I was stuck.
*shrugs* I really didn't mind either, this is a quick and riveting read that ends with you still wanting more.
If you love mysteries and teen drama movies with a punch, this is perfect for you.
[My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐][4 stars!]
Have you read this book yet?? Do you like to read thrillers or books with lots of suspense??
Thanks for reading!!
