Summary:

Revenge has never been such fun

How would you feel if your best friend at work betrayed you? Was secretly having an affair with an influential colleague? Won a coveted promotion, then teamed you up with a mere junior, leaving you feeling completely demoted? What would you do? For Ivy there’s no choice. The only person she has ever trusted, Orianna, has blown it big time. So there’s only one way forward: revenge.

Ivy’s campaign is brilliant, if horribly destructive, and she’s determined to get even with the woman who has dared to cross her. But is Ivy really the innocent party? Or is she hiding secrets of her own?

From Sarah Rayner, the international bestselling author of One Moment, One Morning, comes Getting Even, an unputdownable story of jealousy, sex, friendship and backstabbing set in the heart of London’s Soho adland.

 

Review:

When I was just a few pages into this book, I wasn’t really loving it. It started out a bit slow for me and I was hesitant if I was going to finish it, let alone like it. Well, I am so glad I kept reading, because this one was so good! The mind games alone were like – whew! This book is scandalous, entertaining and hard to put down once I got going. The friendship between Orianna and Ivy was fascinating to read, and I love books that explore female friendships and the darker side of them. The ending had me closing the book with a “huh” expression on my face, but in a good way! I truly enjoyed this one and I hope you can give it a read!
