🆂🅷🅾🆁🆃🅴🆂🆃 🆂🆄🅼🅼🅰🆁🆈 🅴🆅🅴🆁: Joey is 18 and his relationship with his 34 year old mom is anything BUT conventional – this isn’t the first time they’ve sought revenge on their exes, however it is the first time things go crazy wrong…
🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂: REVENGE! Oh one of my favorite topics right here at the tips of my deliciously devious fingers! Revenge fascinates me from a psychological point of view, EVERY TIME. If you’ve ever TAKEN revenge – it’s a feeling that is difficult to describe to people who’ve never truly EXPERIENCED it, kind of like loaning you my pants that are 10 sizes too big for you and making you pretend they fit. Weird, right? But to anyone who has ever lost their $&@%, especially over a man, buckle up because you’ll GET IT (mine was over a parking spot not a guy…message me for the deets lol).
Revenge, well, It feels like the highest high – letting that freakish fiend flag fly into the sky, man it feels gooooooood, reckless, dirty… followed by a solid crash of “oh no” humanity. And worry. And fear. And elation sometimes (if you get away with it). If you’ve ever thought for a split second of having an Angela Bassett burn-your-cheating-husband’s-stuff-up-in-his-Mercedes moment (Waiting to Exhale, BEST. REVENGE. SCENE. EVER.), saw that movie and cheered with your SO side-eyeing you the entire time? Oh this book is soooooo for you.
This book has an afternoon brunch bitch-session-with-your-gay-bestie vibe that entertained. It’s light, has some solid laughs, makes for a light read, something I personally needed during my busy time as a teacher. Revenge is a dish best served cold? I’ll take mine with extra ice, thank you VERY much. This review further guarantees I will remain single. #notapsycho
