This was such a fun, silly, heartfelt read!

As the title suggests, this book contains amateur vengeance planning and it was an absolute hoot. Poor Olivia has had a string of terrible exes and so she hires a “henchperson”, the reclusive owner of the cafe/bookshop she sells her muffins to, to help her enact vengeance upon them. Each and every plan is absurd and goes awry, but they do manage to get their vengeance nonetheless.

I really loved this dynamic. I loved how Olivia’s sunshine personality juxtaposed Margaret’s grumpy personality perfectly. And I loved how they learned from each other, too. Olivia’s confidence grew over the course of this book and I loved watching her learn to stand up for herself. Meanwhile, Margaret slowly softening over the course of this book made my heart feel so full.
