I really enjoyed this story. The story is all about four women, Paige, Bella, Astrid and Sienna, who randomly become friends after a chance encounter, bonding over relationship woes and the disaster zone that is their love lives. The women decide that they should get revenge on their exes for the pain and heartbreak the men have caused them. 

Paige gets Oliver, Bella’s ex, and the scheme kicks off when Bella manages to convince Oliver to let Paige crash at his place for a visit. Once there, Paige tries her best to irritate Oliver with obnoxious antics including everything from adopting a stray dog, hiding the remote and wearing the world’s cringiest graphic t-shirts with bad puns. However, the more time Paige spends with Oliver, the more she gets to see his true personality and quickly falls for him. 

I loved this story! Paige’s antics were pure gold, and watching Oliver try to keep his sanity was hilarious. I would absolutely recommend this novel. This is part of a series called the “Karma Club” and I will definitely be reading the other ladies’ stories.

This installment of the Karma series has completely won me over. This novel is easily my favourite so far. The story follows Astrid, who is determined to seek justice for her friend Sienna after Aiden, her ex-boyfriend, shattered her heart. Astrid sets her sights on revenge, ready to give Aiden a taste of his own medicine, but things take an unexpected turn when she meets his twin brother, Blake. Despite being labeled a bad boy, Blake is anything but a bad boy and Astrid can’t help but be drawn to him. As emotions swirl, she realizes her heart has made its choice, and suddenly, her carefully planned scheme feels impossible to carry out.

What truly impresses me about this series is how seamlessly the group of authors weave connections between each book. The authors have collaborated so well together and I am SO impressed. This is my favourite series of the summer. Each novel only gets better and I’m beyond excited to dive into the fourth book!
