Finished in one sitting! A very fun YA. The characters were amazing and well written. I had alot of fun reading this!
Thank you NetGalley and Random House Children’s for the arc of this book!
Really fun, readable YA romp. I liked the characters, they were well-written and original. Recommended, especially to younger readers.
The Revenge Game follows Alyson over the course of her junior year at her newly coed boarding school as she tries to navigate her new relationship with It-Guy Brenton Riggs Jr while simultaneously working with her friends to get to the bottom of the King's Cup. I liked the premise but it was poorly done. The writing made me feel like the author has never been around teens because the dialogue felt so forced and the "twist" at the end was obvious. The whole thing felt like a rip off of The Swallows by Lisa Lutz.
When to elite single-sex boarding schools merge into one there is bound to be necessary moments of education around interacting with the opposite sex. This book examines what happens if there isn’t any of that education, where misogyny runs rampant, and where privilege allows boys to get away with things That destroy lives. The kings cup in the queens, cup act as diametrically opposite things, one meant to embarrass the other meant to empower. As the young women in in this book fight to take back their power, and to make their voices heard. It is impossible not to cheer along with them!
