9.33/10 What Worked for Me Characters-9.5 The characters in this were great. Finley was a great character, and I enjoyed her journey throughout this story. In the end, Jensen had a redeemable arc because he did apologize, but I still felt like he shouldn’t have tried out for the podcast knowing that Finley also wanted that job. Theo was so sweet, and yes, he made a mistake, but he apologized, and was a better boyfriend for Finley. The supporting cast of Finley’s friends and her family were great additions to the Writing- 9.5 This was my second book from Kasie West, and I will read more of her in the future. Better Than Revenge was straightforward to read, and very easy to get into. I loved the lighter moments in this story, where the characters were hanging out at the diner, or school because you got to know the dynamics of the characters. I loved the scenes with Theo and Finley training because you could see Finley getting better as time progressed. I loved the heavier moments in this with Finley’s grandmother as well. Plot-9 Better than Revenge had a main plot, and a few sub-plots to follow along the way. I enjoyed the main revenge/redemption arc of this. The mystery with the podcast element was fun, and I loved Finley’s grandmother remembering things from when she was younger. Following the clues along with the characters was a fun element to this book. The romance in this was a slow burn, but I loved it in the end. Enjoyment-9.5 This was a mixture of romance, redemption arc, and mystery and I enjoyed all three elements. I loved the characters, writing, and plot of Better Than Revenge. I had fun with this which was what I was looking for when I started this book.
