|summary=Interesting revenge story with three intriguing narrators - perhaps it works better as a series starter than in its own right, but still worth checking out.
It's pacy, cleverly-plotted, and thought-provoking. Having said that, it's also a little confusing at times, and I'll break with my usual practice to provide something of a spoiler here as I think it's probably something that will colour people's views on the book.
There's a paranormal element which is hinted at a couple of times, but only becomes completely apparent towards the end. It didn't put me off, but it certainly took me by surprise.
I also thought the book suffered from a rushed ending which worked well in setting us up for the sequel, but didn't give us a particularly satisfying conclusion to this one. Despite this, I'd still recommend it to people looking for an entertaining read with more depth than first meets the eye, and I'll look forward to the rest of the series. We have a review of [[Fire With Fire by Siobhan Vivian and Jenny Han|the next book]].
For another trio of girls out for revenge, don't miss [[The Anti-Prom by Abby McDonald]], a stunning book!
