Book was first read in November of 2012. My thoughts thoughts then: THIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I don't have one single complaint.Rating: 5 starsBook was re-read in August of 2015. My thoughts now: Just as good as the first time, if not better. I am totally hooked on this story and I am going to jump straight into the second book.Rating: still 5 stars
Sorry Karma, we're taking things into our own hands! Kat, Mary, and Lillia are out for revenge. These three incredibly different girls - both in personality and social status - help each other right some wrongs. A great balance of friendship, drama, and intrigue; Burn for Burn is full of entertainment value, and high in sass!The girls: We've got three convincing voices made up of three distinctive personalities. In a style that will appeal to fans of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, we swi...
My reaction to the sort-of-cliffhanger ending:Yup. Burn For Burn is that good.It's told from the POVs of three different girls, Lillia, Kat, and Mary, who meet by chance in a bathroom during the lowest points of their lives. Together, they plot to take down the people who have hurt them.Mean Girls style.You can always, always tell who's narrating because their voices are so distinctive. Unlike a certain dystopian, who only had two POVs, one of which was a different gender, and they couldn't get
"This is Karma. I’m a bitch. Can you think of anyone who deserves a bitch slap?"My phone buzzes again."If so, meet at Judy Blue Eyes, 2am. If not, sit back and enjoy the show." *sheepishly hands over her "Get Out Of Jail Free" card*Technically, I'm not supposed to like this book. There are no end to clichéd characters, there's not so much a love triangle as a love star or whatever shape there is with way too many pointy ends (my Geometry teacher would be so proud), because it seems like every
bitches get evennow, usually i am a little leery about reading books that it took two people to write. but this one didn't seem cobbled together the way Beautiful Creatures did. and i don't read a lot of realistic YA, but the guy at the s&s booth at ALA assured me i would like it. and i did. thank you, guy whose name i have forgotten. we had a very nice conversation and i am sorry i have forgotten your name and i thank you for pushing this book on me, even though i made a frowny face at the time...
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."-Confucius"Oh, here go hell come."-Calvin TranI love revenge stories. Whether it's Edmond Dantes in Count of Monte Cristo or Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill, there's just something about characters who say, No. Not anymore. Not again. In Burn for Burn, we meet three characters -- a princess, a basket case, a brain. The chapters alternate between their points of view as we discover how they end up on a collision course of revenge. The book op...
I have the copy of this book series for almost 5 years and when I saw them in my storage, I thought I should start reading them. The story of this series reminds me of the 90s teen movies like Cruel Intentions, Mean Girls, and Jawbreaker. Although taking a revenge against vile people is sort of a cliché, I enjoyed reading because it has the vibe 90s era and that Jenny Han really captivated me because of the way she narrated it. Kat is my favorite among the three main characters, and
“This is Karma. I’m a bitch. Can you think of anyone who deserves a bitch slap? - Kat”
“I’m sick of waiting for karma.’’ Jenny Han, To All The Boys... didn't like the movie. Not for me. Also not really into romance. I mention it because I haven't read anything she has written and I’m not planning to. Ain't going to compare it to her other work. I got this because it was 3€ and I wanted to rant. I mean does this sound like something I wouldn't hate?I need to read the descriptions of books I randomly buy because duuude fuck me. This is gonna be ffuuunn... btw I may buy book 3 som
[4.5 Stars]This was so much fun! LOVED IT!
OMG I THINK THIS SERIES IS GOING TO BE ONE OF MY NEW FAVS!
"I’m sick of waiting for karma. Karma can suck it!" A novel about revenge! Three girls conspire to finally punish High School’s most popular, meanest kids. I definitely want! That was really refreshing and entertaining. I couldn’t stop laughing, but definitely not at the sad fate of those who deserved it but on the way the three girls plan and execute their revenge. It’s just too funny. I applaud the authors for making me feel really sympathetic towards all of the characters because as much as
Yeah nah. Was not a fan.There are three POVs. That is 2 too many; cannot deal.NOBODY HAS LOGIC OR CHARACTER MOTIVATIONS WHYYYYYYY??!!So much stereotype, so much cliche.But even at the end I couldn't remember who wanted revenge on who for what...?I hated all the characters so that was great (not)All of their plans were really dumb, childish, or dangerous and I just... NAH FAM!!!There is so much cringe and so many bad decisions I cannot deal.And I don't see at all what was to like about this book....
3.5Alright, this book was filled with every ridiculous high school stereotype ever, and is so unrealistic. However, I am hooked so I guess that really didn't matter.
Now I'm pissed! Jenny Han was one of the best Contemporary, Realistic fiction writers ever! Why must she go and write Supernatural, fantasy fiction???? This is so upsetting because most fantasy-fic writers, do not really write good books. so if she writes a crappy book and I read it, I won't remember her for the awesome We'll Always Have Summer but for the crappy job she did with a fantasy book. Ugh. For some, you might think this is stupid of me and petty. It most definitely is. Guess I will fi...
Omg guys, this book was so damn incredible !. I was holding my breath all the way, I'm in shock right now.5/5 Stars!! “It took a long time for me to get better, but I did. I got better. But suddenly it's like the last four years never happened, and I'm feeling all the same terrible feelings about myself that I did back then.” Burn for Burn is a book that grabs you from the first moment, I've fetl immediately hoked, I didn't have problems with the story, was soooo good, since writing i...
Well I'll start off with what I didn't like;-The ending. -The fact that NOTHING happened between Alex and Lillia. Ok, other than the ending I was glued to these pages but I was so disappointed by the end. It was not what I expected, it was a let down to be honest. This would have worked better as one book. A series on this plot? Boring!It was real, real good nearly all the way through and if it ended as one big blow out it would have been totally worth five stars, but the ending sucked and a ser...
Loved it!This is such a fun story, and so easy to read.It's super fast-paced and I had such a hard time putting it down. I loved all of the characters, they each have their own personalities and I love how they all interacted.The plot is so interesting, even though it's a little predictable. I can't wait to read the next book!
Video review to come!!
Re-read June 2018 - I listened to the story this time around, and I loved it so much. The characters have such unique voices, and the tension really builds throughout. It was lower paced than I remembered, but I'm pleased that it had so much re-reading power. The characters have a completely new context after finishing the series once before!
