After the humiliating events on the 4th of July, Gemma's trying to grapple with the fact that Hallie knew her true identity all summer, and that she was the one who stole Teddy from her.
Gemma vows revenge, but things immediately get more complicated than she planned. Her dad forces her to get a job, and the only one she can find involves scooping ice cream all day. Ford, Gemma's longtime crush, has arrived in the Hamptons, and is cuter than ever. Josh is refusing to speak to her after finding out she lied to him. And to top it all off, Teddy is back in the picture, and closer to home than Gemma would like.
Gemma and Hallie find themselves locked in an escalating revenge cycle involving everything from strawberry syrup to stolen identities. But just when Gemma thinks she has the upper hand, the biggest bombshell of all is dropped. And it's one that threatens to change her life forever.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Katie Finn is the author of the Top 8 trilogy. She's never plotted revenge on anyone (who didn't deserve it) but has been known to assume another identity. She's also acclaimed author Morgan Matson (Amy and Roger's Epic Detour). She lives in Los Angeles, in a house she wishes was a lot closer to the beach.
Gr 9 Up—The second installment in Finn's series picks up right where Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend (Feiwel & Friends, 2014) ended. Gemma's secret identity has been revealed. It was her ex-best friend, Hallie, who has been playing pranks against Gemma all summer. Though part of her longs to run back to the safety of her hometown, Gemma also wants revenge. The war between the two is escalating, this time with the assistance of a burgeoning teen filmmaker and a tech-savvy boy whom Gemma is starting to see in a new light. She eventually devises her own pranks against Hallie; unfortunately, Gemma's family and friends are caught in the crosshairs, with unpredictable consequences. While the pranks are amusing, it is clear that the girls are hurting each other. This follow-up is easy to jump into; Finn adroitly incorporates details of the first book into this story, getting readers caught up quickly. This book is easy entertainment. The characters are stock types: the cute, nice guy; the mean ex-best friend; and the scatterbrained father. There is not a lot to differentiate this book from the many others already on the shelves. VERDICT Readers of frenemy stories may enjoy Finn's latest, but this is strictly an additional purchase unless the previous volume has proven to be extremely popular.—Sarah Wethern, Douglas County Library, Alexandria, MN
