BURN FOR BURN is a book about revenge. And it is certainly not served cold! This book contains a modern twist on the Mean Girl stereotype and will leave you wanting more. Whether or not the many girls in this books are sweet, their revenge certainly is. Or is it?

This is absolutely hands down one of my favorite contemporary reads from this year so far. It is an exclusive look inside the lives of teenage girls that attempts to explore why they do the things that they do. So many people will be able to relate to the events in this story. It is a heartbreaking and severely emotional read. Not one to be taken lightly.

BURN FOR BURN takes stereotypes from high school and twist-turns them upside down. Every single character has story and even the side characters have a wealth of information and back story that feels so true to life. You'll be asking questions about them that you've never cared to ask about characters before and most likely there is an answer hidden somewhere in this amazing and detailed book.

If you're looking for a unique spin on contemporary YA and don't mind some big surprises, then you'll definitely want to check BURN FOR BURN out!

Book Summary

Payback is paradise in this start to a trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian.

Postcard-perfect Jar Island is home to charming tourist shops, pristine beaches, amazing oceanfront homes—and three girls secretly plotting revenge.

KAT is sick and tired of being bullied by her former best friend.

LILLIA has always looked out for her little sister, so when she discovers that one of her guy friends has been secretly hooking up with her, she’s going to put a stop to it.

MARY is perpetually haunted by a traumatic event from years past, and the boy who’s responsible has yet to get what’s coming to him.

None of the girls can act on their revenge fantasies alone without being suspected. But together…anything is possible.

With an unlikely alliance in place, there will be no more “I wish I’d said…” or “If I could go back and do things differently...” These girls will show Jar Island that revenge is a dish best enjoyed together.
