The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars in Gretchen McNeil’s witty and suspenseful novel about four disparate girls who join forces to take revenge on high school bullies and create dangerous enemies for themselves in the process.
Bree, Olivia, Kitty, and Margot have nothing in common—at least that’s what they’d like the students and administrators of their elite private school to think. The girls have different goals, different friends, and different lives, but they share one very big secret: They’re all members of Don’t Get Mad, a secret society that anonymously takes revenge on the school’s bullies, mean girls, and tyrannical teachers.
When their latest target ends up dead with a blood-soaked “DGM” card in his hands, the girls realize that they’re not as anonymous as they thought—and that someone now wants revenge on them. Soon the clues are piling up, the police are closing in . . . and everyone has something to lose.
My thoughts:
Let's be honest, I love a good mean girls book when it's done in the right way and Gretchen McNeil does it absolutely perfect. What's not to love about revenge, payback for those who have been bullied and a murder mystery to boot. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't figure out what was going to happen next or who done it.
The four main characters Margo, Olivia, Bree and Kitty all run in different groups of friends and the school has no idea that they are the members of the DGM club that has been responsible for the "paybacks" that have been happening for the past year. They all met out of coincidence and decided to become the school's vigilantes and righting the wrongs. The anonymity of the group has cause the school to become restless and on top of the recent murder, the students are demanding answers. Now it seems that someone is on to them as they have all received anonymous envelops filled with threatening messages. They start to get suspicious of each other and they all have to watch their own back because they have no idea who or what is lurking behind them.
Gretchen McNeil is one of my favorite authors and she has done it again with another book that is sure to become a hit series. I for one am definitely looking forward to reading Get Dirty and the rest of the trilogy. It's a fun, quick read and so much fun! I would definitely recommend it to those who love mystery and intrigue.
