The Revenge Playbook, by Rachael Allen From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—In the small town of Ranburne, TN, football is king. The members of the high school team can and do get away with pretty much anything, but that's all about to change. Liv, Peyton, Ana, and Melanie all have their reasons as to why they want the football team to go down, and they plot to get their hands on the revered "Football of '76." The four of them manage to get the list of dares that's part of the JV football players' scavenger hunt. If the players don't complete the tasks by a certain time, they have to walk onto the football field naked during the homecoming game. All of the dares must be photo documented, and the winner gets the famous football. In the process of trying derail the scavenger hunt, the four protagonists become friends. This loose readalike to E. Lockhart's The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks (Disney-Hyperion, 2008), celebrates girl power and focuses on challenging "old boys' clubs" traditions. The chapters jump from present day to the pranks to the backstory, so it's a bit confusing at first, but readers will get familiar with each narrative fairly quickly. It's a book about high school, bullying, popularity, and finding your own voice while doing what is right. VERDICT A fun YA title that challenges sexist attitudes in modern-day high school culture.—Jesten Ray, Seattle Public Library, WA

Liv is the girl everyone gossips about. But when the rumors threaten to crack her relationship with her longtime boyfriend, she's desperate to prove that not everything you hear is true.

A Fun Summer Read By The Unofficial Addiction Book Fan Club We are The Unofficial Addiction Book Fan Club, to know more about this book, go to the post in our website.RATE: 4,5 starsREVIEW:"I'm over it," I say. "I really am. I'm not going to put up with it anymore."Liv shakes her head. "What are you going to do? Move to another town?""No. I'm going to make them play. I don't know how yet, but I'll figure it out.""We," says Liv. "We are going to make them pay."The Revenge Playbook is one of my favorite summer reads of this year. It has everything: four girls that never thought they would be friends, boys that you want to punch in the face, football, revenge and a game.In this book, Rachael Allen brings together four different girls: Melanie Jane, Ana, Peyton and Liv. Each character has her own story to tell, a boy who has mistreated her and a reason to get even. It wouldn't have been the same if we didn't read all four stories from the point of view of the character who needs to tell it. That's why the experience to get to know all four girls becomes even more exciting when you get to read from the four point of views.What I liked is that all four girls were different, in personality and in their social lives. No matter those differences, they found a way to work together to get even with the boys that hurt them and in the process they became friends. It's amazing to see that transition and to see how the group supports everyone in it and help each other even with their darkest and painful secrets.I was also happy to learn as I kept reading, that the girls were different from the first impression I got and I started to feel protective over them and my inner-mean-girl was yelling all the time to just punch all the guys in the face and start the well-deserved revenge as soon as possible.The plot was nothing of the other world, we have seen lots of revenge books, movies and TV Shows (well, hello there Emily Thorne), but Rachael Allen had the ability to grab this idea, turn it up side down and make as have such fun you almost forget about the other stories. I liked that she kept bouncing from the now and before explaining the story in two different timelines: explaining what the girls were doing in the present time and justifying it in the past by explaining how it all came down to that exact moment. And if you're worried about being lost, don't be, because it's well-written and distributed so you don't miss a thing or so you don't feel confused.What I would say, though, is that I was expecting a more mind-blowing ending than the actual one. It was all flat to me - no goosebumps or anything like that - and since I kept waiting for that exact moment where everything will "explode", I had big expectations. That's all.As you might have guessed, my favorite moments of this story were when all four girls become friends and some funny moments and quotes come up, such as:"It's the Cyrus-Swift Phenomenon," I say.They look at me like I am a lunatic. "The what?""The Cyrus-Swift Phenomenon. Taylor Swift has had, like eighteen boyfriends, but everyone still thinks she's really classy because she's just so poised and sweet and appropiate-looking. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus was with the same guy for practically forever, and people are always calling her a slut. And I'm not saying we should be calling T.Swift a slut instead - even if you do date a lot of guys, you don't deserve that. What I'm saying is when it comes to popular opinion, it's all about the persona. And sweetie, I hate to be the one to tell you, but you're the Miley in this scenario."Better not say anything about Tay-Tay, Melanie Jane. Back to the book, without us realizing it, Rachael brings poignant topics to the story that makes the reader think over it such as the Cyrus-Swift Phenomenon, about how boys should treat girls, respect, rape and other topics teens need to be aware of. You feel for the characters, frustrated, angry and even insulted. You bring all your girl power out and sympathize with Rachael's characters and it's not something easy to accomplish.To sum it up a bit, Rachael did a great job and did it so well that the result was a sweet revenge, an unforgettable friendship and a story that YA lovers need to read this summer. Because this is a book that needs to be read by every girl and bring out their inner girl power, I highly recommend it and warn you that girls don't get mad, they get even.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fun and fact By Amazon Customer The Revenge Playbook – it’s cute, light, but also poignant and representative of our times. Set in a small town near Nashville, the story is about how four girls unite in a cause against the guys of their town, who let them down. Melanie Jane is dumped by the boyfriend because she wants to stay a virgin, Liv is considered a slut by the school population, as well as Ana, and Peyton is sick of the footballers getting special attention even though they don’t deserve it. While all the girls are typical teenagers, Melanie Jane is perhaps the most girlish (in the sense that she has a little internalized misogyny) which makes her doing those dares all the more awesome. Liv is anyway enthusiastic for every plan they concoct, and I felt she didn’t contribute much to the storyline besides being their mascot and encouraging Peyton. She and Trevor – yawn! Peyton was – hmmmm, too naive, I guess? But she did grow a spine by the end, so kudos to her. Ana probably had the best storyline as a character because she is the most invested in taking those boys down – she isbitter, and alone and you can’t blame her for it. Her conversation with the school counselor had me outraged!Through each of the girls and their experiences, the author highlights the injustice girls, especially young ones, face everyday. Dressing as a reflection of your character, sexual assault, everyday harassment, slut-shaming, prude-shaming, objectification – things like this are almost daily occurrences for women and society doesn’t even think it is wrong because misogyny is so ingrained – that is perhaps what the author tried to show with this book, but in a non-preachy way, of course. Even at the end, it is evident that Rome wasn’t built in a day, but small changes lead to big differences one by one. I loved how the girls were smart enough to not let the guys walk all over them, even when they loved them. A good book, with lots of entertainment, but also a beautiful story.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic book. Both funny and moving. By Madison's Library Four girls, separated by their stories, beliefs, friends and interests, are united in their desire for revenge. Revenge on the footballers at Ranburne High and how they treat the others at the school. Revenge for the injustices committed against themselves and others.This was an interesting book. I couldn't put it down, but I wanted to slam it down hundreds of times because it made me so mad! The only reason I was able to keep reading this book was because I was so desperate to see the boys get punished. I wanted pain. Blooded noses. Prison time. Humiliation and destruction. I could not stand how they and the school treated the girls in this book. Do schools really allow this to happen in real life? Don't answer that. Naming and shaming. Abuse. I was fuming throughout most of this book. And yet I was also able to laugh at the girls' antics, and smile at their growing friendship, despite their differences.The Revenge Playbook covers some pretty intense topics, but it does it well. I particularly liked that there were some nice guys, which I thought was good (and fair). This isn't a book about boy hating - it is about combating girl hating and I loved how it did that without resorting to the opposite (although I could have done with some more punishment). The Revenge Playlist is also about making a difference, about standing up and speaking out, and yet in no way is it preachy, judgemental or unrealistic. It is original, fresh, moving and fun.Mature Young Adult Fiction: Contemporary. Social issues. Friendship. Dating. Bullying.The publishers provided a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
