Review: Getting Even – Sarah Rayner

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.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

I loved this book! Getting Even is the first book by Rayner I have read, but I am hooked. This was well-written and quick-witted. As a lover of all things British, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ivy was the ideal “villan” in this story. I loved to hate her! She was evil and fabulous at the same time. Even as she was taking everybody down, I couldn’t help but appreciate her biting humor.

Conversely, I felt for Orianna. Anyone who has ever been burned (and who hasn’t?) couldn’t help but feel for her. I am glad I didn’t underestimate her and so glad Rayner gave her the perfect balance of vulnerablity and strength.

This book was full of well-developed characters, a great storyline and the dry British humor that I love! Read it. You will love it too.

PS, I’d love to see this made into a movie!
