THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY. THIS IS A ROM COM GONE ROGUE.
Say hello to Sally. 
​
 I’ve woken up in the Big Apple with the world's worst hangover, an empty bank account, and the sinking feeling that my life just nosedived. Last night's escapade is a blur, but one thing is I’ve been swindled and I’m not happy about it.
​
​She’s the woman of your dreams…​
 The culprit? Harry – a total dreamboat and my worst nightmare. He’s got charm, secrets, and a smile that screams trouble. Little did I know, Harry's not just a pretty face – he's a liar, conman and he’s turned my life upside down …or is she your worst nightmare?
​
​When I discover I’m not the only victim, I decide it’s only right I take my revenge. And with a group of wronged women behind me, murder isn’t on the agenda just yet because Harry’s in for a nightmare and I’m only just getting started…
 
Miniature Review

This book is an absolute gem its funny, emotional, and so gripping. At its heart, it’s a revenge story that really taps into the anger and frustration many women feel when dealing with men who think they can do whatever they want without facing any consequences. It’s the perfect mix of thriller and dark humour, showing how revenge can bring women together and help them form real connections as they heal from shared experiences.

From the very first page, I was hooked by Sally’s voice. She’s witty, relatable, and instantly likable. But as the story unfolds, it’s a shock to see just how far she’s willing to go to get her revenge. Her backstory, which is heartbreaking and a little haunting, is revealed bit by bit, and by the end, you really feel for everything she’s been through. Her journey from being cynical and angry to finding strength is both tough and empowering.

What I loved most about this book is how it blends humour with real, raw emotion. It’s funny, but it’s also deeply sad at times, especially when we hear the stories of the other women. Each of them is carrying their own hurt, but together, they find strength in each other. The side characters are just as interesting as Sally, and I found myself just as invested in their journeys of revenge and healing.
The way the story is told makes you feel like you’re right inside Sally’s head, experiencing everything with her. It’s a fun, fierce, and totally unforgettable ride. If you’re looking for something that’s both light-hearted and deeply moving, this is must-read.
