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!
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.
