Summer, boys, and friendships gone sour. This new series has everything that perfect beach reads are made of!

Gemma just got dumped and is devastated. She finds herself back in the Hamptons for the summer—which puts her at risk of bumping into Hallie, her former best friend that she wronged five years earlier. Do people hold grudges that long?

When a small case of mistaken identity causes everyone, including Hallie and her dreamy brother Josh, to think she’s someone else, Gemma decides to go along with it.

Gemma's plan is working (she's finding it hard to resist Josh), but she's finding herself in embarrassing situations (how could a bathing suit fall apart like that!?). Is it coincidence or is someone trying to expose her true identity? And how will Josh react if he finds out who she is?

Katie Finn hits all the right notes in this perfect beginning to a new summer series: A Broken Hearts & Revenge novel.

This book was good from the beginning but I had to put it down a couple of times because I was so embarrassed so many times in the book. Gemma was just dumped by a guy that she dated for two years all of a sudden. So she goes back to her dads which is in the Hamptons. Well she hasn't been there in years. She doesn't want to go back because she has a past there that she doesn't want to even think about. Well when Gemma was growing up her parents ended getting a divorce and her dad ended up falling in love with this wonderful lady that had two kids.

Well she thought if she caused problems between those two her mom and dad would get back together. Well the plan ended up working but her parents didn't get back together. She did horrible things to this family.

When she moved away she was so glad that she wouldn't have to run into them ever again until she was sent back to her dads for the summer. She meets a guy named Josh on the train on her way there and doesn't recognize him at all until the train comes to a stop and she sees who is picking up Josh. His sister Hallie. Well those are the two that she made her dad and their mom breakup. She knows who they are but they don't know who she is. That's what she thinks.

Through out this whole book you will see Gemma put through so much that you have to look away from the book or put down and do something else because you feel so sorry for her and it feels like you are watching her be treated like this and you can't do anything about it. The author wrote a great book that will teach kids that when you do something to somebody it might come back and bite you in the hiney..
