Goodreads Summary: 
Payback is paradise in this start to a trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian.

Postcard-perfect Jar Island is home to charming tourist shops, pristine beaches, amazing oceanfront homes—and three girls secretly plotting revenge.
     KAT is sick and tired of being bullied by her former best friend.
     LILLIA has always looked out for her little sister, so when she discovers that one of her guy friends has been secretly hooking up with her, she’s going to put a stop to it.
     MARY is perpetually haunted by a traumatic event from years past, and the boy who’s responsible has yet to get what’s coming to him.
     None of the girls can act on their revenge fantasies alone without being suspected. But together…anything is possible.
     With an unlikely alliance in place, there will be no more “I wish I’d said…” or “If I could go back and do things differently...” These girls will show Jar Island that revenge is a dish best enjoyed together.

 My Review:

“I’m sick of waiting for karma. Karma can suck it.”   

Kat, Lillia, and Mary are three young women you wouldn't expect to work together on something. But they all have grudges against certain people and are fed up with waiting for Karma to handle it.

With the people they have a problem with being the most popular ones and school and shown favoritism by the teachers, making them get caught/suffer won't be easy. 

Overall I really enjoyed this book. Is what the girls doing wrong? Yes. Is it something that real people should be doing, no. But it was entertaining to listen to. Let's face it at some point in our lives everyone has thought about getting back at the person who has made their lives hellish in one way or another. These girls actually follow through with it and are fairly creative with the plans they make. But because these are teenagers we're talking about things end up having major consequences by the end and all of them could be in trouble if they are found out.
The friendships they all made were shaky, I can see them really growing from here on out, as things get more intense because of what happened in the last few chapters. I mean that type of thing is either going to bring you closer together or tear you apart.

“You can chalk up things to coincide so many times before you have to face the truth.”   

The cliffhanger at the end ugh.. now I need to read/listen to the next one right away so I can know what happens next.

P.S. I was so not expecting paranormal to be mixed in with this story as well. I'm excited to see what it will lead to in the following books.
