This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Meant for a YA audience, this book sucked in this adult! I could not put it down. I was drawn into this story from the first chapter. The story is about a couple of high school girls who have been friends for years. One living with her somewhat absent father after her mothers death. An another living with her helicopter mother after her father abandons them. Its the same thing that happens in every high school, girls wanting to be popular and wanting to attend the perfect college. And boys wanting to be great at a sports game to get them a free ride to college. Except there is someone who sets up a website where you can get revenge on someone who has done you wrong. And this is where i got pulled in and could not stop reading. Great mystery, suspense that will keep you turning pages till the end. Great read!! ( )

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my review copy.

High school is a minefield. And not only for those considered to be at the bottom of the social hierarchy. They are often ignored or the target of bullies. Those at the top have their own pressures to prove themselves worthy of their status. They are often envied and/or victims of payback for their treatment of others.

This is where @Revenge comes in. Although their identity is a mystery, students contact @Revenge to request, well…revenge for a slight. Some of the pranks are harmless. But others…not so much.

For Sabrina and her classmates, @Revenge is a double-edged sword. Their requests may be granted, but at the expense of divulging their secrets.

Overall, it was a good read. It was unpredictable and depicted the lure and danger of social media in a way that was both non-preachy and entertaining. ( )
