Everyone knows Frankie Morgan is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode with her anger issues. She admits it to herself, but decided to attend an anger management class to appease dear old dad. In class she writes a ‘forgiveness’ list to the people who she despises the most, herself numero uno.
The people on that list start getting into terrible accidents and she realizes this can’t be a coincidence.
Oh she is ANGRY and thinks she knows exactly who is committing these atrocities.
I wasn’t a fan of Frankie at first, but at the end she grew upon me. The ending had my stomach in knots with all the twisted reveals.

This book had me go through such an intense emotional ride! For about the first hundred pages I was so so mad at the main character and her anger was so jarring! Everything she was doing wanted me to shake her and tell her to stop and think!
Eventually when I learnt why she is so angry I nearly cried. She had really really been through the wringer. It was so much fun realizing how my opinion of her just changed in one chapter. I didn’t love her, no, but I got it.
I was literally reading at my fastest pace because I wanted to know what the hell was happening!!!!!!
The ending was a bit predictable for me but still it was such a fun ride!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Well, I've been on a wild ride. The twist and turns in this story kept me interested to the point I finished it in one long evening. I have no idea how the author came up with the plot but brava, it's very good.

The Revenge List by Hannah Mary McKinnon
Why is it that women can’t get angry? Why does it seem to be an exclusive man’s prerogative?
Frankie is forced to go to anger management sessions. Her father talks to her vehemently about it and she has no way out. Of course, Frankie doesn’t enjoy a bit of her sessions but agrees to do her first task: a forgiveness list.
There, all the names of the people who have hurt her all through her life are listed, together with a score of how difficult would it be for her to forgive each one of them.
Frankie works for her father in construction, she’s used to dealing with man, of making a place for her own but she’s about to hit rock bottom when it come to her anger.
Compartmentalization is one of the defense mechanics most human being possess and Frankie is not the exception. Forgiving is such a long journey! Especially when the person who hurt us doesn’t acknowledge the deed.
It’s a very cold place to be, there’s loneliness and a lot of thoughts dancing in our minds. Guilt is also associated to this process and Frankie will go through every step of the way trying to heal what is eating her alive, but for that she will have to find her missing list…Because her list, has magically disappeared!
I found this story thrilling and full of twists as it’s written in layers and once you start pealing one after the other, you really get to understand why Frankie was so angry. There are situations in our lives that take us to the braking point and recovering from them may take a lifetime.
Favorite quote:
🗣️“Whoever perceived anger as a negative thing was wrong. For me, it was fuel, and I had a ton of it.”

Good book. Took me a while to read. Didn’t expect the ending and hope there’s a sequel to it!
