Hey there! I'm back with another book review. I am reviewing "Burn For Burn". Before I start the review let me tell you, I love Jenny Han's books! "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Trilogy is one of my favorite series of all time. I love Jenny's work. She is one of my favorite authors. I haven't read any books from Siobhan yet, but I will. They did a great job with this book. Let's begin!
Summary (Inside Flap)
\
Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even.
Postcard-Perfect Jar Island is the kind of place where nobody locks their doors at night. Where parents can sleep easy, knowing their daughters are tucked away safe and sound in their beds.
But bad things can happen, even to good girls, and sometimes the only way to make things right is to do something wrong. Lillia used to trust boys, but not anymore. Not after what happened this summer. She doesn't want anything to happen to her little sister.
Kat is through with being called a freak. She's over the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes made at her expense. It all goes back to one person-her ex-best friend-and Kat's ready to make her pay.
Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. Now that she's back, he's gonna be in trouble... cause she's coming after him.
Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste.
My Thoughts:
What I didn't like:
Overall I really liked this book. It wasn't amazing and didn't wow me at all but I liked it. There's some things I didn't like.
The swearing.
This book had way too much swearing. I don't swear at all and I've read books with lots of swears but there were too much in this book. It annoyed me and I had to skip over them. The swears weren't even necessary.
The slow pacing.
The pacing for this book was really slow. I got bored almost halfway. I told myself to keep reading and it got alot better. After the 200th page the action begins. I liked how everything built up to the revenge but the pacing could have been faster.
Some characters.
Lillia, Mary and Kat were fine. I liked all of them and they were unique in their own ways. I think Mary's my favorite. I don't know why. There wasn't too much info about her in the book and I felt sorry for her. I liked Lillia, she's rich and popular but she's really nice and caring. Kat was good too. She is a loner, bad girl who smokes and drinks. I liked her because she had good intentions for things.
I hated Rennie. She was so mean to people. Whenever she was nice, it was fake. I wanted Lillia to stop being friends with her. Rennie was so mean to Kat. Is that how you should treat your old friend? I don't think so.
Reeve, I hated him too. He was such a jerk but I felt bad for him in the end.
Alex, he was okay. I didn't get to know too much about him. He didn't have much of a personality. I hope he's in the second book more.
What I liked:
Everything else.
The book kept my interest. The girls learned their lessons for trying to get revenge. The writing style was great.
That's it. I didn't want to spoil anything even though it was hard not to. This book was a great read, and was different. Just so you know, there's not really any romance in this book. If you're looking for a romance book this isn't for you. I was fine reading a book with no romance, because I needed a change. But I still love my romance books. This book was good not worth 5 stars though. Would I recommend it? Yes! It was worth reading. Everyone should read this book if you like high school drama. I think its worth a buy. You should buy the next book "Fire with Fire" too because there is a cliffhanger at the end. I don't have the second book but I really want to read it. Anyway that's my review and I'll see you guys later, bye!
