Liam, Julia’s boyfriend (now ex) was a jacka**. After he pulled a particularly d**k move and broke up with her in front of their – on the night she planned a surprise party for him – she decides to get even. With the help of friends Giff and Ava, she plots to make Liam jealous, win him back and break his heart. Additionally, a school project leads her to create a blog where girls can tell their equally hideous boy betrayal stories. Her plan for revenge moves along beautifully until Jesse comes along and makes her question why she’s even bothering.I liked Julia. She wasn’t a doormat. She was a strong and determined girl, someone I would be friends with in real life. Ava and Giff were both interesting characters, but I wish we had learned more about them. Jesse, on the other hand, I adored. I couldn’t get enough of him. He was a perfectly sweet and sexy love interest for Julia. A much better fit than Liam.In this short and sweet book, Julia eventually comes to realize revenge isn’t always the answer. She learns a lot about life, love and friendships in her journey. I enjoyed every minute of it. What wasn’t to like? This book gave me a strong heroine, a seriously swoony love interest, little angst and an interesting, if a bit predictable, storyline. I can’t ask for much more than that. And after that epilogue, I can’t wait to get my hands on Just Desserts.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
