But I think I might give it a try if you enjoyed it. I know it has its flaws, buuuut. I think I might be able to look over it.

You've also mentioned multiple POVs, which hardly works for me. Plus, dumb characters are so not my thing, so I don't think I would enjoy this very much. Despite the flaws in the book, I'm happy that you liked it, Melissa! <br />Great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-24969953985532263242013-07-29T09:22:22.860-04:002013-07-29T09:22:22.860-04:00This book sort of came out of nowhere for me - I h...This book sort of came out of nowhere for me - I hadn't really heard of it and now I'm seeing reviews kind of pop up all over the place. I haven't really read many revenge tales, to be honest - the exception being Burn For Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian, which I LOVED. This one does sound like a fun read despite a few little things here and there, which any fun book could have. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Melissa!Asheley T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03908795522290889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-66028652311435522142013-07-29T01:21:10.132-04:002013-07-29T01:21:10.132-04:00I just saw another review for this one, Melissa, a...I just saw another review for this one, Melissa, and will probably pass on this as it seems like The Liar Society was much better written. I think I'd also be disappointed that rather than going for revenge like Amanda in the first season (the only season I watched) of Revenge, the girls resorted more to pranks.
