I was conflicted with this book. I really enjoyed the pacing. The issue I had was with the revenge aspect. That's just not my thing, but I was sucked in despite my concerns about the characters getting even or getting caught or any number of things that I won't say because I don't like spoiling books for others.
The switching of the voices doesn't always work, but it did here. It was helpful to get different points of view on the situations. I am curious to know where the story goes from here so I will likely continue the series.
I was glad to have this with me on a long car trip. It definitely helped to pass the time nicely.

Definitivamente que a adolescência não é um período fácil e este livro é a prova disso.
Bullying, traições, inveja, drama, falsidade... Todos somos atingidos por isso em algum momento da nossa vida.
Lillia, Mary e Kat sofreram disso. Cada uma à sua maneira foram magoadas e injustiçadas e agora resolvem fazer justiça por elas mesmas, e nada melhor dar ao inimigo a provar do mesmo.
Unidas e com o mesmo objetivo, vamos conhecendo as personagens e o seu passado aos poucos assim como a vingança derradeira que estão a preparar.
Meu Deus!! Jenny Han e Siobhan Vivian surpreenderam-me imenso com este livro! Adorei a vontade, a confiança e a amizade deste trio maravilhoso. (eu é que não me metia com elas)
Este livro está cheio de drama e intrigas e juro que cheguei a ter momentos em que só me apetecia gritar a dizer: “Acabem já com ela!”.
Penso que este YA está muito bem pensado, temos os capítulos intercalado a pelas três jovens e as escritoras abordam vários temas relacionados com a adolescência: álcool, drogas, bullying...
Gostei imenso da escrita e recomendo para quem procura: drama, intrigas e uma história de amizade.

I'm not really sure how to explain my feelings about this book.
There were a lot of aspects that I liked, but some that I didn't really like at all.
I really like Jenny Han's writing style and that really came through..but.. I don't know. I liked this book (obviously I gave it a 4 star rating, but I'm already doubting myself thinking it may be closer to 3.5 stars?
I enjoyed that these girls are trying to get their revenge because these characters definitely had it coming to them. I didn't exactly end this book feeling as good about it as I did during the first half though, ya know? Something felt like it was missing. I didn't really like the random paranormal thing that happened. It just seemed very out of place. I don't know. I hate that it ended on a cliff hanger, but I know there's going to be at least two other books after this one so I'm not really worried about that.
This book was very interesting because it read like a fairly light contemporary, but it touched on some pretty deep issues. Suicide, bullying, drug use, date rape, etc.
I would like to continue on with the series and see how it goes, but this definitely isn't a new favorite nor is it as good as the last book I read by Jenny Han, To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Now THAT was an amazing book!
