Mary, Kat, and Lillia made it through the after effects of
the Homecoming Dance relatively fine, at least in contrast
to others. However, things still aren't good. Reeve doesn't
seem to have changed much, and Rennie has only changed for
the worse. The three girls concoct another plan to take them
both down a few pegs: have Lillia break Reeve's heart. But
just like last time, things don't always go as planned...
After reading the first book in this series, Burn for Burn,
I was excited for this sequel. Excited, but I wasn't jumping
out of my seat for it. After reading FIRE WITH FIRE, I'm not
sure I will even be able to make it to the seat to jump out
of until the next book gets here. Jenny Han and Siobhan
Vivian knock the plot-twist, high action and drama ball
right out of the high school baseball field in this stunning
and flooring sequel.
Though this is a longer book (my edition over 500 pages), it
is such a quick read I flew through it in less than a day.
The intelligent plotting and excitement put in this book are
absolutely wonderful. It builds and builds until the very
end that had me staring at the book for a solid ten minutes
in utter shock. While there were hints along the way (subtle
ones, but ones that made room for the logic in it), I can't
remember the last time a plot twist shocked me so much. Han
and Vivian deserve a trophy or some sort of sparkly medal
for the punch to the gut they deliver with that ending.
Next to the ending, my favorite part in this book is
surprisingly found in the relationship between Lillia and
Reeve. Reeve is stubborn, more than a little self-absorbed,
and sometimes a complete rear end in the personality
department, but I can't not love him. The slow emergence you
see of his softer the side sends you straight to crush
central. The absolute blooming of Lillia's personality
shines right off the page as she attempts to break his
heart, and the level that I root for them is outrageous.
Brilliant character development in them both constructed
through their relationship with each other.
After loving this book so much, I can only eagerly and
definitely not patiently wait for the next book. If you
enjoy the series Pretty Little Liars or anything high
drama/suspense, then I would highly suggest trying this
series.
When sweet revenge turns sour… Book two of a trilogy from
New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han and
Siobhan Vivian.
Lillia, Kat, and Mary had the perfect
plan. Work together in secret to take down the people who
wronged them. But things didn’t exactly go the way they’d
hoped at the Homecoming Dance.
Not even close.
For now, it looks like they got away with it. All they
have to do is move on and pick up the pieces, forget there
ever was a pact. But it’s not easy, not when Reeve is still
a total jerk and Rennie’s meaner than she ever was
before.
And then there’s sweet little Mary…she knows
there’s something seriously wrong with her. If she can’t
control her anger, she’s sure that someone will get hurt
even worse than Reeve was. Mary understands now that it’s
not just that Reeve bullied her—it’s that he made her love
him.
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, burn for a
burn. A broken heart for a broken heart. The girls are up to
the task. They’ll make Reeve fall in love with Lillia and
then they will crush him. It’s the only way he’ll learn.
It seems once a fire is lit, the only thing you can do
is let it burn...
