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.

Can I start by saying I adore both these authors works? I read The summer I turned pretty trilogy- loved it. I also loved The List. Both these amazing authors, writing a trilogy together?? Dream come true. I meant to read this aaaaagggess ago like literally 2 years. But I never had time, because of other books, library due dates and whatnot. Anyhow, I finally read this, in what?? 6 hours? It was 1 in the morning when I finished and I ADORED it! I loved Kat and her sarcastic awesomeness, Mary's sweetness, and I thought Lillia was a darling. Reeve though... *shudders* I also didn't like Rennie, though that was the point, I suppose. I liked the revenge theme and the slight supernatural twist that was just subtle enough to hint without giving anything away. The whole time, I thought how cool this would be as a tv series- maybe abc family? And the models on the covers could be the actresses, that's how I imagined them the whole time. I'd say it's a little bit like pretty little liars, but it isn't, really. It's got a slight similarity but it's really just it's own amazing thing. It is addictive, though. I couldn't sleep, wanting Fire with Fire so badly. But I so so so adored this <3 I even ordered a copy off amazon because, hey, five stars is worth money. I will definitely be counting the days until Ashes to Ashes is released. Xxx <3 c ya!
